There is a weekly game played on Poker Stars with "play money". It is a No Limit Texas Hold'em tournament with a starting stack of $2,000. Points are awarded for the position of finish - 1st Place gets 4 points, 2nd place get 3 points, 3rd place gets 2 points, all others that made the final table get 1 point, and the remaining players get 1/2 point. The season is divided into four ten game sessions - the winner and second place of each session qualifies for the final table game at the end of the year. The other seats at the end of the year table are awarded to those with the most points for the year. If a person qualifies for a seat more than once by winning or coming in 2nd in more than one of the four sessions the seat is put in the pool for the points qualifiers.
All of this is subject to correction by the hard working manager of the group - Tucson Smitty.
And if you are very good - or very lucky you can win one of these at the end of the year:
