There are several ways to qualify for the Grand Finale event for Promotion #7
You can qualify for our Grand Finale event even if you play in just ONE of our free monthly events!
We are
hosting FREE online tournaments once every month for the next 4 months.
There will be two tournaments on each night and you are encouraged to play in both (...that way if you get knocked out of one you can hopefully still do well in the other one). In each of these tournaments you can win cash, prizes, and points.
These 8 free tournaments all build up to our Grand Finale Live Event for the
WSOP prize package.
You qualify for the final Grand Finale Live Event by participating in
some
or all of the 8 online tournaments (roughly every month). This is similar to what we
have done for previous promotions and everybody has been having a great
time!
Our live Grand Finale event will be 3 tables with ~30 players. Here are all the different ways to qualify for the Grand Finale Event to win the WSOP prize package and other prizes:
2 spots for the top two finishers in the month 1a online 8:00pm event (July 13th)
2 spots for the top two finishers in the month 2a
online 8:00pm event (July 13th)
2 spots for the top two finishers in the month 1a
online 8:00pm event (Aug 10th)
2 spots for the top two finishers in the month 2a

2 spots for the top two finishers in the month 2a
online 8:00pm event (Oct 5th)
1 spot for the "Bounty Tourney" (Oct 7th, 2010 at 8:00pm online)
The 8 people that
knock Chris (FullTilt PlayerID: 'TheSimoneTeam') out of each of the 8 events will play in a bonus tournament. The winner of
this 8 person event will qualify to play in our Grand Finale live
event. The Bounty prize each month for knocking Chris out is a $25
gift card...Good luck!
2 spots for the top 2 finishers of an invitation only online event for those that
helped me promote this overall promotion (tell your friends!) (Oct 7th, 2010 at 8:00pm online)
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. I'm only expecting about 30-40 people in this one.
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.
3 spots for the top 3 finishers in the live "Top Points Invitational Tourney" (Saturday Oct 16th, 2010 LIVE EVENT noon to 6pm)
As
a way to reward those that accumulate a lot of points, but didn't
qualify already for the Grand Finale by any of the above methods, the
top 30 point winners (that haven't already qualified) for the overall
promotion (the 8 free monthly online events) will be invited to play in
a free live tournament. Sort of a "Second Chance" event. There will
be a prize pool (TBD) plus the top 3 finishers will qualify for our
Grand Finale live event for the WSOP prize package. People that have
already qualified for the Grand Finale will not be allowed to play in
this event. As people RSVP leading up to this event, when we hear of people that cannot make it we start to go down the point list on the Standings page....usually getting down to the top 40-45 people.
1 spot for our "Double your Chances" offer (an easy way for you to get a spot in the Grand Finale!)
1 spot to the person that gets the most friends to join in the fun!
I really like to reward people for spreading the word about our
promotion to their LOCAL poker friends. Whoever gets the most people
to Register and play in at least 1 event will get a spot in our Grand
Finale event (plus a $100 gift card)! I'm going to keep a running tally HERE to show who's in
the lead. For all the rules, click HERE. Note:
If someone I don't already know registers for this promotion I always give them a quick call to introduce myself and verify they are eligible
to play in our promotion (In order to keep things fair to everyone else
that is playing)
I've also got a few bonus/extra spots...still need to figure out how to give these out...
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 will be held in San Jose on Sunday Oct 17th, 2010. It will have ~30
players going for cash, prizes, and the winner will be going to
Lake Tahoe to play in the World Series of Poker in November (likely Nov 5-7th) plus $350 in traveling
expenses.
