Cuota de Entrada Semanal: $5 + .50

Pre-requisitos: Regístrate para una cuenta de PSO y ten una cuenta de Absolute Poker dinero real. Nos es necesario que los jugadores se hayan registrado con Absolute Poker a través de PSO, y tampoco que hayan hecho cualquiera de las promociones de PSO.

¿Cómo Registrarte?:Tienes que registrarte para la Liga de Póquer de PSO UNA VEZ antes de tu primer juego de la liga de póquer vía el área “Mi PSO” de tu cuenta.  Simplemente vaya a “MiPSO” y seleccione “Liga de Póquer” del menú de la izquierda.  Inscribe la información de tu cuenta de Absolute Poker y envía el formulario.  Tu nombre estará en la lista de jugadores elegibles, la cual será enviada a Absolute Poker el día antes de cada torneo.  Por favor regístrate en PSO sólo una vez.

Sin embargo, recuerda que, después tienes que registrarte vía el software de Absolute Poker antes de que empiece cada torneo.  Entra en el lobby del torneo y regístrate.  La cuota de entrada al torneo será deducida de tu cuenta de Absolute Poker.  Como con cualquier torneo de póquer en línea, en cualquier momento puedes desinscribirte desde el lobby del torneo de Absolute Poker antes de que empiece el torneo y te devolverán tu cuota de entrada al torneo.

Payout Structure: Standard Absolute Poker tournament payout

Individual Event Prizes: Puntos PSO serán otorgados a los 3 finalistas de cada evento:

• 1er Lugar -- 25,000 Puntos PSO
• 2do Lugar -- 17,500 Puntos PSO
• 3er Lugar -- 10,000 Puntos PSO

Se agregarán Puntos PSO a las cuentas de los jugadores dentro de los 5 días hábiles después del evento.

Event Scoring: Players will be awarded league points based on a formula that will take into account both order of finish and the number of entrants in the specific event.  Thus, finishing first in a larger tournament will earn more points than finishing first in a smaller tournament.

League Standings: Tournament scores will be totaled for each player and standings will be posted on the PSO website. To determine the league champion, each player’s Top Five finishes will count. Players are not required to participate all eight events, but to be eligible for the Overall Prizes, players must participate in at least five tournaments.

Grand Prize: At the conclusion of the league, the player with the highest point total will be awarded the Grand Prize, 140,000 PSO Points ($1,400), plus a buy-in to Absolute Poker’s bi-weekly $100K Guaranteed Tournament ($200 + $16).

Runners-Up: Second through fifth place overall finishers will also receive PSO Points prizes, as follows:

• 2nd Place – 80,000 PSO Points
• 3rd Place – 50,000 PSO Points
• 4th Place – 30,000 PSO Points
• 5th Place – 20,000 PSO Points

Bonus Prizes:  But wait, there’s more!  The following bonus prizes will be awarded each tournament: 

• Knock out a member of the PSO staff – 2,000 PSO Points
• Knock out one of the players in the top three of the overall standings – 2,500 PSO Points
• One of the three randomly chosen winners – 5,000 PSO Points

PSO staff are not guaranteed to play in every event, but chances are, there will usually be at least two or three in a given tournament.  Look out each week for current event information in the League Forum – PSO staff's Absolute screen names will be listed there.

Through five events, anyone who has played in every tournament will qualify as one of the top three overall players.  Once the league has reached event six and beyond, anyone who has played in five events will qualify.  These bounties will be announced in the current event information in the Forum, as well.  Like PSO staff, there is no guarantee the top three will play in the next tournament.  UPDATE (10/16, but in effect for 10/15 tourney): all players qualify for the top three bounties.

It will be up to the players to keep track of the bounties.  It is ultimately the responsibility of the bounty winner to let PSO know whom they eliminated, but we do ask that those with bounties on their heads also try to pay attention to who knocks them out and let us know, as well.  An official bounty thread will be posted in the League Forum for the bounties and bounty winners to announce who eliminated whom.

The random prizes will simply be awarded based on three randomly generated numbers after each tournament.  The players that finish in the place corresponding to the numbers will win the prizes.  Members of the PSO staff are not eligible for the random prizes.  If the randomly generated number corresponds to the place of someone from PSO, the prize will go to the next place down.  If that PSO staff member finished last, the prize will go to the next place up.

Those players who win a bounty or finish in the top three ARE eligible for the random prizes.

• If a player registers for a tournament, but does not play, that tournament will not count toward the required five for the Grand Prize.
• Any player who is deemed to have exhibited poor sportsmanship, which includes, but is not limited to, abusive language or taunting, excessive stalling, or discussing an active hand, will be disqualified from winning PSO prizes for that tournament and will not have the tournament count toward the required five for the Overall Prizes.
• Cheating is strictly prohibited. PSO reserves the right to ban any players from this or any future PSO-sponsored events if they are found to have cheated. Any prizes won may be forfeited, at PSO’s discretion.
• All decisions by PSO are final.
