Satoshi Card Club 500K Rake Race

A total of 500K (50 bitcoins) will be given away by Satoshi Card Club.

Starting April 12, 2015, all ring games played for the week will be monitored. Players will be ranked by rake contribution. The weekly cutoff will be at midnight every Saturday. The rank will determine how many tournaments you can play for the succeeding week at every 9pm (GMT+8).

Tournament A: Every Sunday 9pm GMT+8 (Top 48 players of the previous week)
Tournament B: Every Monday 9pm GMT+8 (Top 42 players of the previous week)
Tournament C: Every Tuesday 9pm GMT+8 (Top 36 players of the previous week)
Tournament D: Every Wednesday 9pm GMT+8 (Top 30 players of the previous week)
Tournament E: Every Thursday 9pm GMT+8 (Top 24 players of the previous week)
Tournament F: Every Friday 9pm GMT+8 (Top 18 players of the previous week)
Tournament G: Every Saturday 9pm GMT+8 (Top 12 players of the previous week)

The higher the rank, the more nightly tournaments a player can play. Players will be registered manually after the final weekly ranking is published right after the cutoff (early Sunday).
