For those of you who didn't see the announcement. Looks awfully complicated to me:

http://gamebattles.com/mlb09theshow/. Once registered, you qualify for the single-player ladder which begins on August 3rd. The top 128 players from the ladder will be seeded into a single-elimination bracketed tournament which begins on September 1st.
Two compelling reasons that make entering this tournament a no-brainer for MLB 09 THE SHOW fans. Number one, the prize package is massive -- with a grand prize of $10,000 cash and runners-up receiving $2,000 in Sony gear. Number two, our San Diego-based team has been working with SCEA in Foster City and MLG in New York to integrate game data on the back end, so participants will not have to report scores manually. This is the first time ANY tournament ladder on Gamebattles will offer such auto-reporting functions.
This is the first MLB THE SHOW tournament of this size, and everyone involved with the game is ecstatic about the opportunity.
