The race for the PGT Season 2: INR 12 Lacs POY Leaderboard has just begun and leading the lot is Team Mentor – Aditya ‘Intervention’ Agarwal. The Team Mentors have decided to exclude themselves from the POY Race. In a statement Intervention clarified “Rohit, Raman and I will not be eligible for the POY freeroll so as to avoid conflict of interests.

PGT Leaderboard Point System:
All in-the-money finishers at each of the featured events from the 6 PGT Season 2 Tournament Series will be awarded leaderboard points.
The formula used to determine the total points awarded to a player (in the money) for any given tournament is:
Points = 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]
Where:
n is the number of entrants
k is the place of finish (k=1 for the first-place finisher, and so on)
b is the average buy-in amount in INR (excluding entry fee). For re-buys and re-entry tournaments, Average Buy-in = Total prizepool/no. of participants
