The 2006 season begins March 4^th. We are making a number of (mostly) small changes to how things work.

The event schedule:

There will be 10 events this year. We will attempt to announce each date at least a month in advance. All players who play in at least four events will earn a seat at the finals. Each player will begin the final event with a chip stack equal to total of his best 8 event scores.

Players earn points in the regular tourneys throughout the season based on finish position, $$ won, and a few bonus categories. $2 per buy-in and re-buy, as well as any late entry penalty fees, will go into the championship prize pool. The championship prize pool will be paid out to the top 9 finishers per the following schedule.

1st	30%
2nd	20%
3rd	15%
4th	10%
5th	7%
6th	6%
7th	5%
8th	4%
9th	3%

Points are awarded as follows:

Where X is the number of players in the event, the first place finisher wins X*2 points. Each player in succession wins two points less, down to the last place finisher, who wins two points.

Additional points are awarded to the money winners at a rate of 1 point per $10 won, rounded up.

One bonus point is awarded for each Bounty chip you have at the end. If you still have your re-buy chip, you get a bonus point for that as well. In addition, each event’s winner will become the “Primary Target” for the next event, with a bonus point going to the player who knocks them out. For the first event, there will be two Primary Targets- Matt D and Charlie L, who finished 1^st and 2^nd in the previous season’s championship game.

Other special bonuses may be announced from time to time, which will be consistent in nature with the point structure.

We will use the "The Tournament Director" software to track the player positions. It is the responsibility of each player to verify that their position has been recorded correctly at the end of each tournament.

Tournament guidelines:

The events are $15 buy-in, of which $2 goes towards the championship prize pool, $1 goes to the High Hand bonus pot, and the remaining $12 goes into the tourney prize pool. One re-buy is available, any time until the end of the break. The re-buy is $15 and is allocated the same way as the buy-in’s.

The tourney prize pool is paid out using the following schedule.

		# of entries in tournament
		9-10	11-15	16-20	21-25	26-30
Finish	1st	65%	55%	50%	47%	46%
	2nd	35%	30%	25%	23%	22%
	3rd	x	15%	14%	13%	12%
	4th	x	x	11%	10%	9%
	5th	x	x	x	7%	6%
	6th	x	x	x	x	5%
