- We award 3 entries to $1000 WSOP events (subject to change based on level of participation)
- Players who wish to compete for these entries pay an additional $10 per tournament entered ($10 = 1 share)
- These additional funds are what are used to purchase the entries
- Players earn points in each tournament they play (note that the WSOP share must be paid before the tournament starts to earn points for that tournament)
- If a player cashes at one of these WSOP events, they keep 35% of the winnings
- The remaining 65% is portioned out to all of the participants in the competition that have at least 6 shares (including the cashing player)
- The portion received of the 65% is based on the percentage paid into the pool (if you paid in 5% of the total WSOP pool, you receive 5% of the 65%)
- A player may pay $10 to make up a share for a tournament they missed (all shares must be paid before the "3rd seat tournament" starts)
- Players are allowed to enter a WSOP tournament with a larger buy in if they wish. If you are interested in this, ask for details about how it effects the payout.
- If the pool of accrued money is larger than $3000 at the end of the season, a small portion may be used to purchase cards or other commodities for the next season. Any remaining money will be paid to the entry winners to cover a portion of the travel expenses associated with the WSOP tournament
