Myelin Media Announces Details And Schedule For MTV STACKED Masters Season #1 Beginning Sunday August 13

Myelin Media has announced details for the upcoming MTV STACKED Masters Season #1, a 25 week series of online multi-table tournaments for players of STACKED TM with Daniel Negreanu on PC, Xbox, PlayStation 2, and later this year PSP. These tournaments will attract players from all over and provide them with the opportunity to test what they have learned off-line against other players and see who comes out on top. Getting to and staying at the top of the leader board will be a true test of the player's skill and endurance - just like it is for the pros.

Masters points will be awarded to the top finishers in every tournament. The number of Masters points players can earn in a tournament will depend on the buy-in, number of other players and, of course, how far they make it. Players can only earn Masters points in these sanctioned tournaments, though they will be able to increase their bankrolls by playing in other online tournaments and cash games.

Every week there will be at least one ring tournament, and winners will be able to show off their championship jewelry to other players in future games. The chance to play for the more coveted rings (Platinum, Diamond Ruby, Black Diamond) will be rare and sporting one of these will certainly provide increased intimidation to the other players at your table.

MTV STACKED TM Masters Tournaments are scheduled, live events. To compete, players will need to register in advance of the tournament, and check in to play prior to the start time, but no more than one hour prior to the start time.
