Madmoo Jackpot

Preliminary round

Daily ranking and its prize pool

Daily ranking will be valid in all worlds; The daily ranking will be determined in the following way – the daily progress of players will be measured (the XP from the beginning of the day will be compared to the XP at the end of the day – the difference will determine the daily coefficient). Example: if a player has 3 000 XP at the beginning of day A and 13 000 at the end, his daily points are 13 000 - 3000 = 10 000. Prize pool: the first 1000 players from every world will win prizes, as follows:

Position in rankings	Prize (euro)
1-10 place	20
11-20 place	18
21-30 place	16
31-40 place	14
41-50 place	12
51-60 place	10
61-70 place	8
71-80 place	6
81-90 place	3
91-100 place	1
101-300 place	0.7
301-500 place	0.5
501-700 place	0.3
701-1000 place	0.1

Prizes from the daily rankings are virtual and can be turned into real cash, only if the player qualifies for the final event and reaches top 50 in their rankings. The preliminary round for the next madmoo Jackpot starts on 1st of June and continues till 1st of September 2010.

Player's account and cash rankings:

Prizes from daily rankings are put in the player's account; The cash ranking will include all players from all worlds in each country and will be shown at the gate of the game as well as on the page with all rankings in-game; Every 3 months the best players from the cash rankings in each country qualify for the final event.

Important - players will keep their virtual money from old rounds too, unless they've reached top 50 in the final event, but for the qualification for the final event will be considered only the virtual cash earned in the past 3 months .

If some players didn't gathered enough money, the rest is distributed to the top 50 players in equal shares ( Example: player A finishes second (1700 EUR prize), but has only 1200 in his account. This means the other 500 EUR are given to the top 50 players and each one gets 10 EUR.)
