The Battle of the Planets sees PokerStars multi-player Sit & Go tournaments separated into six divisions, all named after planets in our solar system. Everyone can take part in the competition, no matter how high or low stakes they play. Each planet represents different levels of buy-ins. Each planet division has its own weekly prize pool.
You have a set number of games to accumulate as many points as you can in a given week, starting at 06:00 CET on Sunday and finishing at 05:59 CET the following Sunday.

Two leader board by planet: one for casual players, one for high volume players
Each of the six planet divisions are split into two individual Leader Boards. The first is the Low Orbit Leader Board, which is tailored towards casual and recreational players. The second is the High Orbit Leader Board, which is more suited to high volume players.
In the low orbit, the total amount of points is registered by blocks of 20 tournaments. You may play up to 100 tournaments (five 20-tournament blocks) per division in any given week.
The 20-tournament blocks will be recorded in sequence, i.e. 1 to 20, 21 to 40, 41 to 60, 61 to 80 and 81 to 100. Only your best block score will count towards the Leader Board, and only completed blocks of games will be eligible for the leader board.
You play 42 tournaments in a given week, and they were all 9-handed $5 tournaments. You therefore have completed two 20-tournament blocks for the Neptune Division: Low Orbit Leader Board. The completed blocks were games 1 to 20 and 21 to 40. The block in which you scored the most points will be the one that gets ranked on the Leader Board. The final two tournaments were not part of a complete block, so they do not count towards the Leader Board.
For the High Orbit Leader Board, your points total is recorded in blocks of 100 tournaments. There is no limit to the number of high volume blocks you can play in a given week, and no limit on the number of divisions in which you can participate.
The 100 tournament blocks will be recorded in sequence, i.e. 1 to 100, 101 to 200, 201 to 300 and so on. Only your best block score will count towards the Leader Board.
You play 106 tournaments in a given week. These were a mixture of 6-man and 8-man tournaments, but all of them had a €10 buy-in. The first 100 tournaments comprise a complete block for the Uranus Division: High Orbit Leader Board. The final six tournaments were not part of a complete block, so they do not count towards the Leader Board.
