WSOP Overview/Rules
BASIC OUTLINE
The schedule can be found at 2023 Schedule
The dates are set. The location and type of event is subject to change. The only exception with changing a date, would be if weather or an unforeseen emergency causes the cancellation of an event, the make-up date will be the following Friday.
Prior to each tournament, specific rules for the blinds, ante’s time limits and structure will be given out.
Entry into the league is $100 due at the first event in January - this money is saved, and added into the final pot for the Championship Event, which will be held in Dec.
Each event is has it's own separate entry fee and there are always additional add-on's and or rebuys.
We also collect $10 per month for food and that is given to the host. Please bring whatever water, soda or alcohol you are drinking for the night.
POINT DISTRIBUTION AND ACCUMULATION
We have a point system assigned to each event. Below find the amount of points you will earn depending on how you finish in each monthly event. The higher you finish in each event, the more points you earn, . The top 6 point getters will receive an automatic invitation to the 2022 Poker championship on Dec. 2, 2022. The remaining players will then compete for the final 2 slots in a satellite event to be held prior to the final event. The points at each monthly event will be distributed as follows:
1st 1000
2nd 800
3rd 700
4th 600
5th 500
6th 400
7th 300
8th 250
9th 200
10th 150
11th 100
12th 75
13th 50
14th 25
If someone plays in an event, but has not opted to participate in the point accumulation option, the points for that participants finishing place will not be awarded to anyone. You will only be awarded the points based on what place you actually finished, regardless if the player(s) ahead of you chose to participate in the point accumulation feature or not. Points will be awarded provided there are at least two participants at a given event.
The overall point winner will be awarded $100 and not have to post an entry fee ($100) in the World Series of Poker championship event in December. In case of a tie, the player with the most 1st place finishes will be awarded the title. (If still tied most 2nd place finishes, etc.). He will also have his name engraved upon the very prestigious Brooktown WSOP Champions’ Plaque and will be immortalized on the BROOKTOWN WSOP HALL OF FAME forever.
WORLD SERIES OF POKER CHAMPIONSHIP & SATELLITE EVENT
In 2023 the final championship will be an 8-player event. The top 6 point leaders will qualify for a seat at the final table in the December Championship event. Any remaining members, who have participated in at least 6 of the regular season events, will then be eligible to compete in a satellite qualifying event with the 1st and 2nd place finishers from that event earning a seat at the final event in December. The starting chip count at the satellite event will be determined by your point-accumulated position for the 11 regular events;
7th place starts with 10,000 chips
8th 9,500
9th 9,000
10th 8,500
11th 8,000
12th 6,000
13th 5,500
14th 5,000
15th 4,500
16th 4,000
Your seating at the final championship table will be determined randomly. All the money collected from the $100 member fees will go toward the prize money for the December World Series of Poker Championship. That money, in addition to the player’s buy-ins for the evening, will be awarded at the Championship night
The house will not take a cut out of any money put in by any player. Any costs for set up, web site, mailings, trophies etc., will be my responsibility fully.
