How do tournaments and SNGs work with FTP. I know you get a point a dollar but don't you get given a certain amount of chips for the tournament anyway? How long would it take to raise about 1200 points, also how many tournaments would I need to enter. I don't really want to play ring games.

$1 entry fee = 7 FTP

Play during Happy Hour and earn double the points.

For every $1 in rake you pay for MTT or S&G you earn 7 ftp points.
EX. $24 + $2 MTT = 2 X 7 = 14 points
$1 + $.25 MTT = .25 X 7 = 1.75 points

Not sure what u mean but you dont get any ftp points playing play money.
Most MTT's give you 1500 chips to start. Unless DS which you start with 3000 chips.

You only get points for the original rake paid to enter the tourney. You dont earn points by winning hands in the tourney.
