Season 7, which began on April 1st and will end on June 30th, Final Tournament is scheduled for July 25th & 26th at Pub 44 in New Smyrna Beach, Fl. Registration for this tournament will begin on June 1st and continue through July 23rd. Watch the website and register early especially if you wish to play in a specific session. Sessions will likely close when they reach 150 players. Don’t wait until the last minute and don’t call and change your registration once you register because last season we had over 60 players sign up for one session and pull a walk in for another session. Seating is limited at each session so those who change their registration or walk in will be placed at the bottom of the list for that session to pick seats. Those unlucky enough to not get seated initially will have to come in as the blinds continue to progress

In order to encourage players to play more frequently and reward them for their additional wins we are implementing, retroactively to April 1, 2008, the following graduated bonuses. Please note that wins carried forward do not qualify for moving up the bonus scale and are counted as strict 500 chip bonuses.

Graduated Add-On Chip Counts<

If you think of each win as being worth 500 chips you can calculate your starting chip count as follows:
For wins 1-10 you will receive the 9,500 chips for a range starting at 10,000 - 14,500.
For wins 11-20 you will receive a bonus of 12,000 chips for a range from 17,500 – 22,000.
For wins 21-30 you will receive a bonus of 14,500 chips for a range from 25,000 – 29,500.
For wins 31-40 you will receive a bonus of 17,000 chips for a range from 32,500 – 37,000.
For wins 41-50 you will receive a bonus of 19,500 chips for a range from 40,000 – 44,500.
For wins 51-60 you will receive a bonus of 22,000 chips for a range from 47,500 – 52,000.
Finally, at 61 wins you will receive a bonus of 25,000 chips for a range starting at 55,000 chips

EXAMPLES:
1 win = (1*500) + 9500 = 10,000 starting chips
10 wins = (10*500) + 9500 = 14,500 starting chips
25 wins = (25*500) + 14,500 = 27,000 starting chips
