Results for the Member Vote on Pro Structure Addition!
After the trial of re-buy tournaments over the past 5 weeks, and the subsequent vote that determined with no doubt that the member base wanted to keep the re-buy system going, we have some great news for you!
In addition to the vote to continue with the re-buy, the majority of members also wanted us to work into our regular events MORE ways to win your way to our WAPL Team to compete in major international events. So as announced at tournaments last week, and effective this week, welcome to the new, awesome Pro payout structure that will enable us to further establish ourselves as the premium form of poker for all of our members!
Pro Payout Structure -
For events with under $700 prize pools - Standard Payout Structure, no Championship Event Seat
For events with $700+ prize pools - Championship Event Seat (Worth $200) to the winner, with remaining prize pool paid out using Standard Payout Structure.
Given the massive increase in nightly prize money generated by the re-buy structure change, this is enabling us to pay out substantially more money to our nightly payout places, PLUS the overall winner in almost EVERY Pro event will win a Championship Seat to the next Satellite, giving them their chance at securing a guaranteed package to join the WAPL Team at a major Poker Event!
These Seats (qualification AND major event) are fully transferrable and able to be sold to other WAPL Members, and if a winner of a qualification seat cannot make the next satellite, an application in writing to info@wapokerleague.com.au will enable them to postpone their qualification seat to the next event.
We are sure you will enjoy and really see the potential this structure has for the League and your own poker ambitions, and look forward to seeing you compete for even more at a WAPL event soon!
Spread the word, let your mates know that they have more chances to win more cash and entries to major events, and get them to events with you too!
As usual, Championship Satellite events can still be bought directly into for a $200 buy-in for those who don't win the seats in regular events or $30 Sit'n'Goes.
