PYL Palace Tourney Notes:
  • For Seasons 1-7: First prize payout was $100,000.  Second place was $25,000.  Third place was $15,000.

  • For Seasons 8-12: First prize payout was $200,000.  Second place was $50,000.  Third place was $30,000.

  • For Seasons 13-15: First prize payout was $200,000.  Second place was $75,000.  Third place was $50,000.  Semifinalists got $10,000.

  • For Season 16-18: First prize payout was $75,000 AND whatever the winner got in a Mayhem-like bonus round.  The winner started with $2,500 and kept spinning until he/she hit a whammy or decided to stop.  If the winner whammied in Mayhem, everything accumulated in the round AND the starting $2,500 was lost.  Second place was $40,000.  Third place was $20,000.  Semifinalists got $7,500.

  • For Season 19: Prize payouts are determined by a rolling season-long jackpot.  Jackpot starts at $100,000 and will grow with every host demo spin in R2.  Extra spins will count, if applicable.  If DYB is hit, the entire jackpot doubles.

  • Early 2003: Since no one kept accurate season stats for Season 10, that season's Tourney was canceled.

  • "PYL @ 20" Winner: Robert Searcy ($94,171) (NOT season tourney)*

  • 9/19/03: *  The "PYL @ 20" Tourney honored PYL's 20th b-day!  Chris Tirpak was 2nd ($48,220) and Regian 3rd ($25,126).

  • 11/8/03: **  Cory wins the tourney, becoming the first player to win TWO Season-ending tourneys!  The semifinals and finals of the Season 13 Tourney had been canceled by Mark on 10/23/03, but "un-canceled" a day later.

  • 7/11/04: ***  #2 seed Regian wins the Season 15 Tourney over #1 seed Allen and #3 seed Hiroland.  This marks the first time in PYLP history that the top three seeds made it to the finals!

  • Highest seed to win a PYL Tourney: #1 seed Michael Larson (Season 1)

  • Lowest seed to win a PYL Tourney: #17 seed BT14 (Season 7)

PYL Palace Mayhem!
Lots of people, lots of fun, lots of Mayhem!  Survival (and luck) at its finest!
Rules: In round one, no one is eliminated.  Then the 2 (or 3) people with the lowest scores are eliminated per round until six remain.  Those six players' totals go toward season stats.  The person with the lowest total each round is removed until there is a winner.  Only the winner gets their total added to their career earnings.
