Points Championship

This is an update on this post from December.

Based on current participation and number of tournaments, we are on course for over a $1,200 prizepool. This, of course, provided I still am able to cash for a bit more. It would be an estimated $1,300 prizepool if I max that out. Therefore we are going to have the top 16 advance, based on the chip format below.

I would like to get some feedback on possible payback at this tournament.

$500, $350, $200, $150, $100, or,

$500, $300, $200, $125, $100, $75, or,

$400, $300, $200, $150, $100, $75, $75, or,

$500, $250, $150, $100, $75, $75, $50, $50, $50, or,

$400, $250, $150, $125, $100, $75, $50, $50, $50, $50,

Any of the preceding are a possiblity or a combination. Do you prefer a top heavy payout, more graduated, more spots, etc.

The Points Championship this year will be for the Top 10, if the prizepool is below $1,200. If we would somehow manage to eclipse $1,200 though, we will bring the Top 16 into the tournament and pay the final table.


As before, there will be a bonus for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. As well, there will be a difference in starting chips for 11th-16th place if we happen to achieve the $1,200. Last year the chip counts were 10K, 9K, 8K, and 7K for 4th-10th. Added for a $1,200+ prizepool would be, 11th &12th would start with 6K, 13th & 14th would start with 5K, 15th and 16th would start with 4K.

Comments are welcome, and this is not set in stone as of yet. The possibility is fairly remote that we would achieve the $1,200 prizepool level, but it will all be based on how attendance fares this year.

If we average 16 people for each tournament, the likely prizpool will be between $1,000 and $1,100.

So, if it's 16 people at the final tournament, you're saying you're more than confident to start with the extra chips and make it into the money being in first? Instead of paying the final 9 to nearly guarantee that you will get something for 1st?

I'm pretty much along the same lines as you. Maybe one more position, either 6 ot 7 though, with $150 or so between 1st and 2nd.
