Hey, I'm pretty new here and just registered for Gauntlet Season 4.
I've looked through the stickies and can't seem to find what I'm looking for so I'll ask the questions here.
1) How long do the seasons last?
2) When would season 4 start?
3) What is the entry fee to these games? I've seen people saying it is typically $5 or $10 games but is the entry fee increased (IE. PokerStars fee and a fee to FTR which builds a pool from which the FTR gear and cash prizes are taken from?)
Guess thats all, I'm looking forward to playing with all these great people.

1) The season is ~12 weeks (2 games per week, 24 games total). If there are holidays or other "important events" (like the Super Bowl ...) that interfere with the games, the season could be extended.
2) TBA
3) This past season had buyins of $11. Sometimes FTR adds money to the prize pool. FTR also occasionally places bounties on certain players; the prizes are usually FTR gear

Just as a side note, the fee is $10 to the prize pool and $1 to PokerStars.... FTR has no fee for the game (unless it is hidden in the $1 to PokerStars which I am assuming it is not)

The $1 fee goes to PokerStars. We make no money on these Gauntlet events. The bonus gear and money prizes are out-of-pocket. The league is just something we do for you guys and to promote our site (attract new members).
