3RD QUARTER PLAYER INCENTIVE CHANGE (3RD QUARTER STARTS DECEMBER 1ST, 2023 AND ENDS FEB 28TH, 2024)

Good Afternoon Everyone,

As we get ready for December & January – things have gotten very busy here at the Event Center which has necessitated a change to the player incentive for the 3rd Quarter. In Short – we WILL NOT BE giving away a $10,000 seat to the WSOP Main Event. We are replacing it for the quarter with a new incentive system as follows:

3rd Quarter Incentive – 10% Bonus Prize Pool Given Back To The Players – NO CAP.

10% of the total prize pool for EVERY tournament played (live & online) will be put into a player bonus pool to be paid at the end of the quarter (Feb 28th, 2024) (Example: Live $90 Game has 20 entries – total buys in collected = $1800 * 10% = $180 into the prize pool).

Points for the quarter will be ALL TOGETHER (NOT SEPERATE AT THEY WERE IN THE 1Q & 2Q).

TO BE ELIGIBLE TO COLLECT YOUR SHARE OF THE BONUS POOL YOU MUST HAVE ACCRUED 300 POINTS BY QUARTER’s END.

How each players share of the bonus pool will be calculated:

EXAMPLE POINTS At END OF QUARTER (Total Prize Pool = $5,000)
Player A = 3000 points
Player B = 2500 points
Player C = 2000 points
Player D = 300 points (minimum to qualify)

Total Points: 7800
Player A = 3000 (individual points) / 7800 (total points) = 38.46% * $5,000 (prize pool) = $1,925 paid out

So the formula is: Individual points / Total Points (of every player above 300 points) = % Of prize pool paid to player

REMINDER: POINTS WILL NOT BE SEPARATED, SO ONLINE AND LIVE PLAY POINTS COUNT TOWARDS YOUR TOTAL POINTS FOR THE QUARTER.

As always, frequency of play won’t matter nearly as much as quality of play and finishing higher in tournaments you do play.

As always, I welcome your feedback and input. I know this is a change, but the availability of the event center for the next 6 weeks is what really necessitated that I make this change.

See you on the tables,

Marc
