The Card Player Pro-Bowl Tournament Series is composed of a series of 24 qualifying tournaments that run from Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2008 to Sunday, Jan. 18, 2009. The top 30 percent of finishers in each qualifying tournament will earn points based on their finish, and these points will be used to rank players. At the end of the qualifying series, Bodog will host two tournaments: first a last-chance tournament on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009, which every player who played in three or more qualifying tournaments will be eligible for, and then, on Sunday, Jan. 25, 2009, we will host the final tournament, open to the top 15 percent of players on the tournament leader board (TLB). Each player’s top 10 point-finishes will count toward the TLB Standings. The top five finishers in the last-chance tournament will also be invited to participate in the final tournament. The first-place finisher in the final tournament will win the Pro Bowl prize package for two and the second- to 10th-place finishers will win a seat in any $100,000-guaranteed tournament on Bodog, which are hosted every Sunday at 4 p.m. ET, a $109 value.

The TLB will be available throughout the course of the Card Player Pro-Bowl Tournament Series. It will provide the point totals for every player who has played in the qualifying tournaments. The top 30 percent of players in each tournament will receive points according to their finish, which will ultimately determine who will move on to the final tournament at the end of the qualifying tournaments. Each player’s top 10 point-finishes will count toward the TLB standings.
The formula used to calculate points for the leader board standings after each event is as follows:
Points = 10 x [Sqrt(N) ÷ Sqrt(R)] x [Sqrt(Sqrt(B)) + 0.2]
N = Number of players entered in the tournament
R = Finish rank of the player for the tournament
B = Buy-in of the tournament
Sqrt = Square root
