IMBAtv KOTH Money Talks

How Voting Works
When the thread is updated with all the players, week one of the event begins and the poll is opened. This means that the fans will have a few days to vote for their favorite players. The top two voted players will start of the King of The Hill in a BO7 series. The loser will be knocked out of the event and removed from the poll. If the winner chooses to play for more money next week then the poll will reopen and the player with the highest votes will stand up to face the winner from week one. This means every time the BO7 series are over and a winner has emerged the poll will be open for a new fan favorite to face the winner.
There is the possibility that the winner can cash out the money they have already won. If this happens then the two top voted players from the poll will play against each other in the next week of the event.
The final player will be chosen by IMBAtv at least five days before the event starts. The player slot will be announced on this thread.



Prize Pool Explained
Week 1:
Player one wins – He can then either choose to take the $100 home or – put it back in the pot for next week for a chance to double his money if he wins again.
Week 2:
A new poll begins with the remaining players who haven’t yet had the chance to play. Player one (winner from week 1) then has a spot automatically from the last week and goes up against the top voted player from the poll. Player one wins again which means he can take home $200 or once again he can choose to put it in the pot for a chance to win $300 in week three.
Week 3:
The fans once again vote for the player they want to see face off against the current champion. Player one wins again and this means he can put the $300 back in the pot to increase it to $400 in the final week or he can take the winnings and leave. He decided to play the final week. (Week four)
Week 4:
This is the final week of the event. If player one has managed to get to this stage then this means he is playing for the full $400. The winner of week four will end the third season of the King of the Hill event.
If At any given point player two wins then player one loses everything and player two can choose to take home $100 or bet it back in to the pot for a chance to increase his winnings and so on.
When player one is in the final week four of the event and is competing for the full $400 and loses to his opponent then he will be rewarded $100 as a consolation prize for his efforts.
