It's fall time, and the leaves are changing colors to brown, but if you're more interested in green, then perhaps the Autumn Poker Series at BetOnline, Sportsbetting.ag, and TigerGaming is for you. Also called the 50/50 Poker Tournament Series, it consists of 50 events priced at $55 apiece with total guaranteed prize pools of more than $500,000. The series runs from Monday, Oct. 30 – Sunday, Nov. 5.
Autumn Series Info
This series runs for just one week with seven events per day priced at $55, and they come with varying guarantees from $3,000 to $30,000. There's one PLO/8 tournament every day, but the rest are Texas Hold'em. Some variety is provided by PKO and Hyper PKO formats, but for the most part, the schedule is roughly the same every day.
There's one event that costs only $11 to join and has a guarantee of $50,000. This is a multi-day event with Day 1s starting each day of the series. On Day 2, all the remaining Day 1 players gather together to play down to a winner.
Daily Schedule
The schedule for the 50/50 Poker Tournament Series is the same Monday through Friday. This weekday schedule is as follows:
| Time | Tournament | Buyin |
|---|---|---|
| 12:30 a.m. ET | $4,000 GTD PKO | $55 |
| 12:30 p.m. ET | $7,500 GTD | $55 |
| 2:00 p.m. ET | $50,000 GTD Day 1 | $11 |
| 2:30 p.m. ET | $10,000 GTD PKO | $55 |

Then on Saturday, Nov. 5, there are a few minor changes. The $30,000 GTD $55-buyin event moves from its usual 7:30 p.m. time slot up to 5:00 p.m. The final three tournaments of the day ($3,000 GTD PLO/8 6-Max PKO, $6,000 GTD PKO, and $3,000 GTD Hyper PKO) similarly move from their usual times (8:45 p.m., 10:30 p.m., and 11:20 p.m.) to 7:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m., and 10:00 p.m. respectively.
The schedule for Sunday, Nov. 5, has significant changes what with a third Day 1 and the inclusion of the second and final day of play for the $11 $50,000 GTD event. Here's what you can look forward to on Sunday:

How Does the Multi-Day Event Work?
With the highest guarantee on the roster and for the lowest buyin as well, the $50,000 event will likely see a lot of attention. That's why it's probably wise to go over exactly how it works right now so that you won't have any confusion later on when it's time to play.
Each Day 1 will progress through 30 rounds of 8-minute blind levels. Then play will be suspended. You can enter as many or as few of these Day 1s as you wish. The remaining chip stacks from every Day 1 you entered will be combined to determine your Day 2 starting stack.
The only way to get in to Day 2 is by qualifying through any single or multiple Day 1s of your choice. There's no direct buyin option for Day 2.
Blind levels for Day 2 remain at 8 minutes apiece; however, there's no cap on the number of levels played because the tournament will run until there's a single victor remaining. The prize pool will be distributed according to normal MTT calculations.
50/50 Leaderboard
The Chico Poker Network will be maintaining a leaderboard of all participants. Each $11 Day 1 entry that you make is worth 10 points while each $55 buyin to any of the other events will award you 50 points. At the end of the series, $50,000 will be divided up proportionally according to how many points each participant has earned. This means that you will receive your share of the loot as long as you join a single event!
