How To Qualify.
The season comprises of three 8 week qualification periods.
The top two from the venue leader board at the end of each 8 week period automatically
qualifies for the play-
All points will then be reset to zero for the next 8 week period.
The final week of each 8 week period will be a satellite week, all winners of tournaments
during this week will qualify for the play-
All overall venue winners, at the end of the season, will qualify for the play-
There will be no drop-
The top ten players from the National Leader board qualify directly to the Grand Final.
Please note: A venue must hold a minimum of 6 from the possible 8 games in the qualifying period for the results to count, this does not apply to players (if enough points are won in two or three games this would count for qualification). The minimum number of players ifor a tournament run is 4.
A venue also has to be running at the end of the season for a player to be awarded the venue winners prize.
Qualifying to the Grand Final is all about building up your points, so get out there and play some great poker.
All players starting the tournament will receive at least 50 points merely for playing. It makes that bad beat just a little bit more bearable.
Every player who goes out of the tournament up to and including 9th place will receive 50 points. The final table is where the points start to accrue.
For very player taking part in the game 250 points is added to the prize fund and will be paid out as a percentage to the final table players.
For example:
In a tournament of 9 players (9 x 250 = 2250) the points would be: 1st = 698, 2nd = 495, 3rd = 360, 4th = 225, 5th = 180, 6th = 135, 7th = 90, 8th = 68 and 9th would receive the usual 50 points.
Note: if there are less than 8 players points the points will still be calculated over 8 positions.
A list of the points for up to 16 players place is listed below:
