2009 News: Prizes Announcement!

Dec 29, 2008 10:33 pm Report Abuse

Hi all,

Here are the prizes for 2009!


Monthly:
* $250 monthly quiz freeroll, as before
* $500 freeroll for the top 100 of the monthly Freeroll Rankings
* $1,000 freeroll for the top 100 of the monthly Real Money Rankings
* $1,000 game between the monthly Freeroll Rankings and Real Money Rankings winners plus a prorail! $250 guaranteed for the FR and RMR winners. If the prorail wins, the money goes back to the site
* $50 credit in the RailStore for the second place finishers in the monthly Freeroll Rankings and Real Money Rankings
* $25 credit in the RailStore for the third place finishers in the monthly Freeroll Rankings and Real Money Rankings


Daily:
* A shirt to each buy-in tournament winner from our shop, which will be online soon


Annual:
* The top two finishers of the annual Real Money Rankings each receive entry to the WSOP Academy or the WPT Boot Camp (their choice) + $1,000 for travel and expenses.
* The winner of the annual Freeroll Rankings receives entry to the WSOP Academy or the WPT Boot Camp (their choice) + $1,000 for travel and expenses.
* A $5,000 freeroll for the top 100 annual Real Money Rankings finishers
* A $2,000 freeroll for the top 50 annual Freeroll Rankings finishers
* A WSOP main event seat + $2,500 for travel and expenses, won through a special freeroll (see below)


How to qualify for the WSOP freeroll:
* Finish in the top 5 in any monthly Real Money Ranking
* Finish in the top 3 in any monthly Freeroll Ranking
* Win five or more tournaments during the year
* Win a $10 tournament
* Win a monthly ranking tour, quiz tour, or charity tour

If you qualify by placing in a monthly top 5 RMR or a monthly top 3 FR, and you already have a spot in the WSOP freeroll, you'll earn $200 instead, and the extra spot will go to the next person in line. Please note that making the top 5 by winning a $10 tournament does not count towards the $200 eligibility.

You have to be 21 years old minimum when the WSOP main event starts in order to be eligible for the special tour. The same goes for the WSOP Academy / WPT Boot Camp prizes.


Hope you all like this as much as I do - it's a major increase in prizes over last year!

Cheers,
RailJoe / InfoBird
