Network players begin at Round One where they buy-in to the games at an affordable entry price, for example $5. They will get the opportunity to play against diverse opponents.
Each set of Rounds will have a table of at least ten players. Any number of Round sets can be running simultaneously.
Players buy-in to Round One for $5+$0.50, and are eliminated until two are left, and these two players are then freerolled into Round Two, a similar arrangement but with a higher buy-in of $25+$2.50.
Adding another facility, throughout the Round system, players who are prepared to pay the increasingly higher buy-in costs and avoid competing in the lower Round games can do so, "jump-starting" themselves into any particular Round.
There is also a freeroll "jump back" for one player at each Round, giving him or her the freeroll opportunity to replay a Round or go back a Round in order to attempt to win through again.
Round Two freerolls its top two players to Round Three in the same manner as Round One to Round Two. Similarly Round Three freerolls four players to Round Four.
In Round Four five players are freerolled to Round Five.
Round Five in each set is the crunch zone where the players compete for the main prizes, split among the top four players.
Example Prize Schedule:
| Round | Rank 1 | Rank 2 | Rank 3 | Rank 4 | Rank 5 | Rank 6-10 | 1
