• 1 spot for the winner of an invitation only online event for those that helped me promote this overall promotion (tell your friends!)
• You are invited to spread the word to your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. that would also be interested in this promotion.  The only requirements are that they are over 21 and they live or work in Santa Clara County or Fremont (trying to keep this local).  Anyone that helps spread the word will play in a bonus free online tournament and the winner of that event will qualify for our grand finale live event.  It is a much smaller event than the regular monthly tournament. 
  

• 5 spots for the top 5 point winners after removing all above qualifiers
• In each of the 8 free monthly online events you participate in, you will receive points depending on how well you do  (CLICK HERE for details).  After removing all those that have already qualified (from above), we will take the next 5 highest point totals and those people will qualify for our free Grand Finale Live Event.  It is in your best interest to play in as many of the free monthly tournaments as you can!   You can check the Standings to see how you are doing.
• Update: 3 people have each qualified twice by finishing in 1st or 2nd in more than one of the monthly events or Bonus Tournaments.  Therefore, instead of the top 5 point winners qualifying, the top 8 point winners will instantly qualify for the Grand Finale!
  

• 1 spot for 2nd place finisher from The Simone Team Poker Promotion #4 grand finale (John Shinseki - ID: nerdcoreO5150)
• ~1 spot as part of the 'Double Your Chances' offer...so far, one person has qualified for the Grand Finale as a result of this offer.
  

BONUS: If you qualify more than one time for the Grand Finale, you will be rewarded!  Anyone that qualifies more than once will be rewarded with additional starting chips (25% more) in the Grand Finale event.  In the event that someone qualifies more than once, the extra spot in the Grand Finale event will be given to the next highest overall point winner that has yet to qualify (prior to the "Top Point Invitational Tournament").

ADDITIONAL BONUS:  To reward those that accumulate the most overall points (from the 8 free monthly online events only), the top 5 overall point winners will be rewarded with 25% more chips to start the Grand Finale.  This is your incentive to play in the online event each month and to do the best you can (...even if you've already qualified).  Good luck!  [Note: No player will start the Grand Finale with more than 25% in bonus chips]

Our free Grand Finale Live Event on Oct 18th, 2009 will have ~27 players going for cash, prizes, and the winner will be going to Lake Tahoe to play in 3 of the World Series of Poker circuit events on November 6th-8th 2009, plus $350 in traveling expenses.
