How to qualify for Series final.

1 out of every 8 entries from each Qualifying Tournament (8) will automatically win entry to series Final.
Minimum of 2 players from each qualifying event will qualify for series final even if we get less than 16 entries.

Loyalty Clause - If you play 5 times and fail to qualify you win entry to the series final but your buy in to the Finals is an additional $20 $170
Re-enters count as 1/2 buy in toward loyalty clause.
If you played 5 times and failed to qualify your future entries get reduced to $100 with $60 re-enters

Series Final will be $150 entry - for qualifiers
(There will hopefully$1000 - $1500 dollars added to the Series final collected from all the qualifying events.)
Series final Start Stack: 15k (plus any bonus chips you have won

Incentives to continue playing after you have already qualified for series final.
-Once you have won your entry to the series final the future qualifying tournaments will be a reduced entry of $85, and re-enter is $60

- Any time you win a tournament - 1st place you get 500 bonus chips for series final (if chopped - goes to highest stack)

-Anytime you re-qualify for the series final you get $20 off your future series tournaments, $20 off from the series final entry and an additional 1000 chips added to your stack for series Final.

Last Longer Pools (Optional for a bigger payout for the qualifying tournaments): We usually run an optional last longer pool for all qualifying events.
Usually $40 - This $ goes to the player that lasts the longest in the tournament that bought in to the last longer pool.
If you re-enter you remain in the Last longer pool with no addition $ paid
This LLP $ can be chopped in any way at any point with all remaining players agreeing to the chop.

MVP - Top 2 ?

-There is a Top 3 MVP race for top 2 performers in the series

We will take out $60 from every tournament (including the Final) to pay the top 2 players in the series MVP race
1st - $400
2nd - $140

Top 8 players in each qualifying tournament win MVP points
(No more than half of the people that show up can win MVP points - so if we get 11 players only top 5 would get MVP points etc.)
