The new Matrix tournaments on Full Tilt Poker are the hottest new tournaments in online poker. the new Matrix tournaments work like this:

This is how the Matrix Tournaments on Full Tilt work:

In a nine-player Sit & Go, you face eight opponents and play down to the final player. It’s the same in a nine-player Matrix tournament, except that you’ll face the exact same eight opponents on four different tables simultaneously. Each individual table will play down to the last player, with the final three places at each table paying out just like a Sit & Go. In a Matrix Tournament, the standard prize pool will be broken down to include payment for overall performance as well.

Individual Tables

Each individual table will pay out for the final three positions, just like a normal Sit & Go. In the case of a nine-player, $10 + $1 Matrix tournament, each individual table will have an $18 prize pool, paying out $9, $5.40, and $3.60 for 1st through 3rd places, respectively.

Scoring

Players will earn one Matrix point for each opponent they outlast (Survival Points) and two points for every player they knockout at each table (Knockout Points). Each player’s points for individual tables will be listed by match under SCORE BY MATCH in the Tournament Lobby. Total points for the entire tournament will be listed under MATRIX SCORE.

Matrix Score

Point totals for a player’s Matrix score will also be listed in the tournament lobby in three categories:

Earned: this is the combined total of Survival Points and Knockout Points from each of a player’s four tables Max: this is the maximum number of points that can be achieved if a player earns every remaining Knockout Point and Survival Point on each of the tables where they are still playing Projected: this is the estimated total Matrix score for a player and the best way to see where they stand at that moment

Please see the Matrix rules page for more details on Matrix scoring. Get your $600 Full Tilt Poker Bonus

The Dominatrix

Prove your poker supremacy by claiming victory at all four tables and become the Dominatrix. If you have the skills to take down all four tables you’ll be rewarded not only with the top prize for winning each individual table, you’ll scoop the entire Matrix prize pool!

Poker Forums are buzzing about these new tournaments, mianly postive comments have been made about them. The Matrix format is still in beta test, but I would bet these types of tournaments are here for good!
