2009 Rankings

Welcome to the 2009 Railbirds Rankings page!

Most of our tournaments, although not all of them, will give you ranking points if you place high enough. You can also win prizes, ranging from large monthly freerolls to even a WSOP main event seat! This section is where we gather the results and standings for each player.

The formula

The points for each tournament are calculated this way:

For the Real Money Rankings: points = (money won / (buy-in * 0.5)) * ((number of players / 1000) * 0.25 + 1)
For the Freeroll Rankings: points = money won * ((number of players / 1000) * 0.25 + 1)

2010 WSOP promotion

To qualify for our World Series of Poker Main Event freeroll, either:

• Finish in the top 5 in any monthly Full Tilt Poker Real Money Ranking
• Finish in the top 3 in any monthly Full Tilt Poker Freeroll Ranking
• Win five or more Full Tilt Poker tournaments hosted by Railbirds.com during the year
• Win one of our $10 buy-in tournaments
• Win a monthly ranking tour, quiz tour, or charity tour

If you place in the top 5 of a monthly Full Tilt Poker Real Money Ranking or in the top 3 of a monthly Full Tilt Poker Freeroll Ranking, and you already have a spot in the WSOP freeroll, you'll earn $200 instead. The extra spot will go the next person in line for that month. Please note that making the top 5 by winning a $10 tournament does not count towards the $200 eligibility.

Eligibility

Please note that you have to be 18 years old minimum to participate in our rankings. In order to win any of our WSOP prizes, you need to be at least 21 years old.

In order to get your rankings points for a tournament, you must have entered a correct screen name for the site the tournament is played on. This must be done prior to the tournament starting, to prevent users from cheating.

If you need a registered screen name changed, please contact a prorail. Please be aware, however, that this will cause you to lose all accumulated ranking points on that site.

Only unbanned users are eligible to play in our top 100 ranking or top 50 ranking tournaments. Getting temporarily or permanently banned will cause you to lose any spots you may have earned in such tournaments. You also need to have a correct screen name registered in your profile in order to be invited into such tournaments.
