€220,000 Spring Endurance Challenge
Earn VIP-points during 20 consecutive days and get your share of the €220,000 prize pool. Decide on which level(s) you wish to compete in and make sure to reach the daily requirements every day during the 20 day Endurance challenge.

The prize pool will be distributed to all the players that endure and earn the required VIP-points every day (00:00:00 CET to 23:59:59 CET), however the more total VIP-points you earn on that level during the race period, the bigger your share will be. The prize pools for each Endurance challenge will increase and you will get extra VIP-points in the third and largest race if you have managed to qualify for a prize in the first and/or second race.

It is only play on Texas NL and all Omaha PL variants, including Omaha 5C and H/L, that count

Endurance periods:

April: 11th Apr to 30th Apr
Levels and Prize Pools:
Blind Level February Mars April
€1/2 and up €20,000 €30,000 €60,000
€0.25/0.50 to €0.5/1.0 €15,000 €25,000 €40,000
€0.02/0.04 to €.10/0.20 €5,000 €10,000 €15,000

Daily requirements:
€1/2 and up VIP100 everyday
€0.25/0.50 to €0.5/1.0 VIP50 everyday
€0.02/0.04 to €0.10/0.20 VIP20 everyday
Note: The VIP points needs to be earned on the specific levels to count.

How much will I win?
A qualified player will win a weighted part of the prize pool depending on the player’s total amount of Endurance Challenge VIP-points for the specific race and blind level.

Example
A Player earns at least VIP 100 everyday during 20 days and qualifies for the €20,000 prize pool. Her total amount of VIP points is VIP3000 from play on those blind levels. The total amount of VIP-points amongst all the qualified players is VIP60000. The player will then get VIP3000/VIP60000 = 5% of the €20,000 = €1,000 in prize.

Another player reaches exactly the required VIP100 per day during 20 days and has VIP2000 would get: VIP2000/VIP60000= 3.33% of the €20 000 = €667 in prize. The more VIP-points, the bigger the part of the prize pool. So make sure to reach the daily requirement at least and then play more for larger part of the prize pool. Extra bonus for players that finish one or both of the first two races:

All players that finish the endurance race on a specific level will get a VIP-point multiplier for the last race in April with the largest prize pool. One race completed = 1.5 times the Endurance VIP points. Two races completed = 2 times the Endurance VIP points

Example
In the last race a player has earned VIP3000 in total out of a total of VIP60000, which will normally give €3,000. But the player has completed both races before and his share will be calculated with double VIP-points resulting in VIP6000/VIP63000 which is €5715 instead of the €3000. NOTE: The multipliers only affect the part of the prize pool a player will get, the requirements are based on regular VIP-points, thus even if a player has completed the two first races, the daily requirement are the same.
