The RFC Leaderboard Tournaments take place at the RFC Poker Room, a private poker room that is dedicated to these tournaments.

The poker room software maintains each player's latest score.

Each player receives an initial bankroll of 300 chips during initial registration (and all players bankrolls are reset to 300 at the beginning of each year). Players use their chip bankroll to enter RFC Leaderboard Tournaments. Chips are paid out at the end of each tournament, based upon each players' placement position in the tournament.

If a player's bankroll falls below 300 chips, the player may replenish their bankroll to a starting level of 300 at any time by:

1. Entering the poker room
2. Choose "Account"
3. Choose "Request more chips" (you must be below 300 chips to get more)

The leaderboard standings reflect the ranking of those players whose chip score exceeds 300, ranked from largest to smallest.

The tournament chip pool consists of 200 chips per registered participant in a given tournament. The payout schedule is available in the poker room software.
