Tournament of Champions - Season 9

We have played the final regular Season 9 game and now it is time for the TOC!  Saturday, May 11th at noon!

Congratulations to  Barry Hurd for earning the top slot on the leaderboard!  Sue Batey held the spot for a fair portion of the season with some consistant runs yielding 7 top 5 finishes including 2 First Place, a second and 2 third place finishes.  Unfortunately, she had to miss some games and her run good flagged a bit toward the end, giving me my chance to take the lead.

Congratulations to all the players that made it to the top 10 slots on the leaderboard.  As mentioned at the beginning of the season we are going to be doing something a little different this year with the prize money held back from each game and use it to recognize those players.  The $1400 dollar prize pool will be distributed among the players this year along with some swag!

I am very excited to note that we had the biggest attendance ever with 124 unique players this season! The second record year in a row.  Thanks for making the games interesting and the pots bigger.

If you have played any two(2) regular season games you are eligible to play in the Tournament of Champions and play for the title. Your points earned throughout the season will determine your stack size.  The base chip stack is 10k and each point earned gets you 150 bonus chips - rounded up to the nearest 500!!

See chip counts here.

The buy-in for the T.O.C is $100.  You will also be able to buy the WSOP add-on for bonus chips.

Tournament structure follows the Big Game structure with 24 minute rounds.  With the chip counts the game usually ends around 8:30.  Top 6 players will be paid and the winner gets a plaque (eventually, Usually before the start of next years TOC!) and bragging rights for the year.

It's really important that you RSVP early, both so you have a seat and so we can get set up.  I suspect we will have a big turnout this year so I need to know what to expect. So please look for the announcent text and answer right away.

Lunch is included and catered by our lovely and talented Sandra so plan on coming early to get some eats and get bought in.

Game is set for Saturday, May 11 at noon. See game page here

Good luck players!!
