Determining who the best player is at the end of a poker tournament is easy. It’s the player with all the chips. Figuring out who the best tournament player is over the course of a year requires a little bit of math.

Below is an image that shows the scoring formula that is used for our tournaments. This formula is used because it awards more points in larger-field tourneys, and more points in higher buy-in tourneys.

With the above formula, some examples for points awarded are posted below.

If a player wins a $40 Series Tournament with 25 entrants, they would be awarded 15.81 points. If that same player ended up topping a 30-person field, they would be awarded 17.32 points.

As borrowed from North Metro Poker's Satellite Series, each player will be allowed to throw away a percentage of their poor finishes. At the end of the first 15 events of each season, each player can discard their five lowest scores. Only the top 10 scores from each player will account for their total "Power Score". This will help illustrate how finishing well is a huge boost for any player and it will also reward players for continued participation in every event throughout the year by those players being able to "throw away" three of their poor finishes. With this new system, it will help keep more players in the hunt for Player of the Year at seasons end, and will create a much tighter points race for the top 5 players trying to enter the Main Event for free.

Also, with us having several Knockout Tournaments this year, bonus points will no longer be given to players who eliminate others during our Knockout Tournaments. Of course you will still get the $10 bounty but will not be receiving any bonus points. This change was made because of our new "throw away" scoring system.

The Player of the Year will be decided after the first 15 events in any given season (the tournament before the Main Event). The Main Event is being treated as its own special "one-off" tournament from now on and will no longer count towards a players final score at years end.

Earning as many points as possible throughout the year should be every players goal if they wish to enter the 'Main Event' for free. By using the above formula, we are awarding players for their success as fields grow larger. Also try to keep in mind that attending as many tournaments as possible (and finishing well) will increase your chances of making the 'Main Event' for free.
