Phenom Grind Prix Adds New Leaderboard Tiers For All Stakes Starting November 17
- Phenom Grind Prix adds leaderboard tiers for all NL, PL, and Fixed Limit games.
- Automatic participant inclusion and weekly prizes distributed every Monday.
- Weekly Specials with higher guarantees and daily freerolls to boost stakes.
The Phenom Grind Prix introduces expanded leaderboard tiers starting November 17, opening the race to every stake level across NL, PL, and Fixed Limit games.
The Phenom Grind Prix shifts into full speed with a new structure designed to bring every player into the action.
Starting November 17, the promotion on Phenom Poker adds fresh leaderboard tiers that cover all stakes in No Limit, Pot Limit, and Fixed Limit formats. The change means every player can join the race without signing up. All accounts are included by default.
New Grind Prix Tiers
The leaderboard system now features clear tier divisions. Each division tracks only the activity played within that tier.
No Limit and Pot Limit Games
- Micro plus Low: ≤ 2/4
- Medium: > 2/4 and < 25/50
- High: ≥ 25/50
Fixed Limit Games
- Micro plus Low: ≤ 8/16
- Medium: > 8/16 and < 100/200
- High: ≥ 100/200
The tier you play determines the leaderboard you compete in. Every hand contributes toward that specific ladder. The format creates balanced competition by grouping players with similar stakes.
Point System For Grind Prix Leaderboards
The series keeps the scoring system simple. Players earn 50 points for every 1 USDT in rake based on the Weighted Contributed method. This system tracks individual contribution to pots, which ensures accurate point distribution across all stakes.
Each leaderboard begins on Monday at 12:00 GMT and runs until the next Monday at 11:59 GMT. The weekly cycle keeps standings fresh and encourages consistent volume from all players.
Weekly Prize Distribution With Prize Pool Carryover
Prizes are paid every Monday. Winners do not wait for payouts. The distribution splits the pool into 2 parts.
- 80 percent goes directly to leaderboard winners.
- 20 percent carries over to the next week.
The carryover mechanism increases future prize pools and keeps the series growing with every cycle.
Why The Expanded Grind Prix Format Matters
The first Grind Prix rollout gained strong interest at the higher limits. The expanded structure now opens the circuit for every bankroll level.
Micro players, mid stakes regulars, and high stakes specialists all have a leaderboard tailored to their games. Whether a player splashes at 1/2 or competes at 25/50, there is a clear path to weekly prizes.
The broader offering improves accessibility and encourages higher engagement across all time zones. Every hand holds value from the first deal of the week to the final minutes before the leaderboard closes.
Weekly Specials With Bigger Guarantees And Daily Freerolls
Alongside the Grind Prix, the platform debuts Weekly Specials. These events feature bigger buy-ins, bigger guarantees, and daily freerolls suited to every level of the player pool. Prize pools reach up to 10K USDT. The full schedule is available in the MTT lobby.
Phenom Grind Prix Begins November 17
Players can now prepare for the expanded Grind Prix race. The start date is November 17 on play.phenompoker.com.
The series aims to deliver a more inclusive and competitive leaderboard format while adding strong MTT value through Weekly Specials and daily freeroll access.
