The inaugural season will consist of four $20,000 buy-in, rake-free Main Events — each with one of four distinct formats to test the complete skill set of the best live no-limit hold'em tournament players. Each Main Event will also feature a six figure prize pool overlay. Season One will culminate in a League Championship freeroll event, in which the 27 players with the highest earnings during the regular season will compete for a $1 million purse.

Qualification for season 1 is open until August 1st, there should be several more people eligible with a few cashes during the WSOP.

When I used the Hendon Mob DB to determine ~200 players eligible and not knowing the exact criteria, after about 100 players the list really started breaking down. The fact that there is currently 100 players under the 2-Year B criteria appears to prove that point.

I wonder how many people they expect out to the tourneys. I see a lot of names who won't give this the time of day (barring a big TV deal).

I disagree. I think it's a very good thing that it seems like they're sticking strictly to the criteria they set up and not making exceptions just to get household names to participate.

Pre Black Friday I gave this grass roots effort a slim chance at success. Post BF I just don't see how without PS and FT they can make it.

He's not only a household name, come on
He's a legend and thus should be treated as such.. given some sort of lifetime membership or something like that

I think he said he's gonna retire when he hits 80.
