New
Atlanta Poker Club Structure - 10 weeks
of competitive poker
Starting on the week of May 22nd, and running
through the week of July 24th, the Atlanta
Poker Club announces it's new 10 week league
structure.
The Atlanta Poker Club will play in an intense
10 weeks of poker
Two weeks after the season is over, we will
have an invitational only championship tournament
where we give away our end of season grand
prizes! At the end of the 10 week season,
the top 30 in season points and the top
2 in points at any given venue are invited
to a combined championship where will will
give away the season ending grand prize.
Dynamic Scoring System
Starting in Season 6 we are implementing a
new scoring system that is dynamic. The total
points you can win at any particular tournament
is now influenced by how many players play
in the tournament and where you finish in
the tournament.
The forumla for determining the total points
is
TP = N^(1/2)*200
TP = Total Points awarded for the event.
N = Number of players
Finish Rank
1st - 30%
2nd - 20%
3rd - 10%
4th - 8%
5th - 6.5%
6th - 5%
7th - 4%
8th - 3%
9th - 2%
10th - 1.5%
11th - 20th 1%

2000 points, or 600 points. You can take
a look at the current
leaderboards here.
Combined End of Season Championship
At the end of the season we will have one
big combined championship event where we give
away our big end of season prize! This tournament
will be an invitational only to qualified
players.
Here is how to qualify for the combined championship
tournament.
1. Finish in the top 50 of overall season
points.
2. Finish in the top 3 in points for an individual
venue.
These players will meet
in an invitational only tournament with our
top prize for the season given away. These
prizes will be announced soon! This will truly
be a championship event pitting the best players
over the past 10 weeks in the Atlanta Poker
Club against one another.
The combined tournament will typically have
fields of 40-50 players depending on how many
venues are involved in the season.
*we are also discussing a week 11 night that
is a 'sit-n-go' night where the 10 previous
winners meet for a 1 table sit-n-go. more
details to come on this soon!
Bonus starting chips at the Championship.
The more points you earn over the course of
the season, the more bonus chips you get to
start with in the end of season championship.
This is overall points for the Atlanta Poker
Club.
1st : 1500 bonus chips
2nd - 5th : 1000 bonus chips
6th - 10th : 500 bonus chips
11th - 20th : 300 bonus chips

The championship prize
The grand prize is now set! Click
here for Grand Prize information!
In addition to the end of season prizes, each
venue will have prizes for the individual
points leaders at the end of the 10 weeks
points race! So get those points because they
are going to be very important this time...
this is a short season, so get those points
now!
Season starts on May 22nd, final week
July 24th.
The week of May 22nd starts the new season
- it runs through the week of July 24th. The
combined championship tournament will be held
2 weeks later on a neutral as possible date
and venue.
We hope everyone
enjoys this switch
to a shorter and more competitive style season
and combined championship. The Atlanta Poker
Club will still hold at least two additional
major tournaments per year where we award
major prizes and on the year ending tournament,
an Atlanta Poker Club Championship Bracelet.
The new and easier to follow and more competitive
league structure, combined with the new dynamic
points system will lead to a more laser accurate
testing of skill, higher levels of competition,
shorter league seasons and an overall more
enjoyable experience.
Host venues will no longer hold individual
invitational only championship events, although
prizes will still be awarded to end of season
points winners at each venue that participates.
To discuss any of these changes, or to voice
your opinion - please feel free to join us
in the forum.
Thanks, and we'll see you at the tables!
