The Point System

When you show up to a Stumptown Poker event you show up to an action packed poker event with 3 different ways to earn points in a night. All games are scored according to the number of players who have entered, and have different “pay-out” structures.

Main Tournaments:

Our first and biggest game of the night.  Each player who enters adds 40 points to the prize pool, and points are awarded as follows:

1. %29

2. %18.5

3. %12

4. %10

5. %8

6. %6.5

7. %5.5

8. %4.5

9. %3.5

10. %2.5

All Main Tournaments pay ten places no matter how many entered (Edit– as of Series 8 Main Tournaments with fewer than 13 players will be treated as double point sit and gos, with spots 4-10 earning a 10 point bonus). To compute your score is easy– simply multiply the number of entrants by 40 and multiply that number by the percentage you earned. Scores are also available and generally current at our points site–Chipstak.com Our points web site is a great tool so please play around with it!

Sit and Go’s:

These are single table tournaments which begin as soon as players and equipment are available. We generally have between 1 and 3 of these a night. Each player who enters adds 20 points to the prize pool.

1. %50
2. %30
3. %20

Heads Up Matches:
Any two players who have busted out of a tournament and find themselves waiting for a game may play a Heads Up Match. If you find yourself in this position don’t be shy– ask for chips and cards and find a player to play against. Our players love to play poker and Heads Up No Limit Hold ‘Em is one of the most fun and fiercely competitive games around!

1. %100 (10 points)

Bounties:
Bounties change week to week, but when in effect knocking a player out with a bounty on their head earns an instant 50 points!

K.O.s:

K.O. tournaments put a 25 point bounty on every players head in addition to the regular scoring.  More scalps=more points!
