The PokerStars tournament leaderboard promotion is changing, with the Yearly Leader Board increasing the prize values to $450k. In total, approximately $50,000 more will be given away in MTT prizes, with a reduction in monthly promotions more than made up for in a bigger annual leaderboard.
The current system includes weekly, monthly and annual leaderboards. The new system retains the weekly leaderboards, but the monthly leaderboards are done away with entirely.
Their replacement is a leaderboard which only runs for the Summer months of June, July and August—traditionally the months with the lowest level of players online.
