Matrix Tournaments - Details
Full Tilt Poker’s Matrix Tournaments are unlike anything you’ve ever experienced; when you enter a nine-player Matrix 4x Sit & Go Tournament -
* You’ll play the same 8 players on 4 different tables simultaneously
* There is a Sit & Go prize pool for each table
* Your overall performance will also be scored and paid out from a Matrix Tournament prize pool
How It Works
In a nine-player Sit & Go, you face eight opponents and play down to the final player. It’s the same in a nine-player Matrix tournament, except that you’ll face the exact same eight opponents on four different tables simultaneously. Each individual table will play down to the last player, with the final three places at each table paying out just like a Sit & Go. In a Matrix Tournament, the standard prize pool will be broken down to include payment for overall performance as well.
Prize Pool and Scoring
Matrix Tournaments
In the case of a nine-person, $10 + $1 Matrix tournament, the total prize pool will be $90. This is divided evenly into a prize pool for each of the four tables and the overall Matrix prize pool:

Individual Tables
Each individual table will pay out for the final three positions, just like a normal Sit & Go. In the case of a nine-player, $10 + $1 Matrix tournament, each individual table will have an $18 prize pool, paying out $9, $5.40, and $3.60 for 1st through 3rd places, respectively.
Scoring
Players will earn one Matrix point for each opponent they outlast (Survival Points) and two points for every player they knockout at each table (Knockout Points). Each player’s points for individual tables will be listed by match under SCORE BY MATCH in the Tournament Lobby. Total points for the entire tournament will be listed under MATRIX SCORE.
Matrix Score
Point totals for a player’s Matrix score will also be listed in the tournament lobby in three categories:
* Earned: this is the combined total of Survival Points and Knockout Points from each of a player’s four tables
* Max: this is the maximum number of points that can be achieved if a player earns every remaining Knockout Point and Survival Point on each of the tables where they are still playing
* Projected: this is the estimated total Matrix score for a player and the best way to see where they stand at that moment
Please see the Matrix rules page for more details on Matrix scoring.
