Chelsey Armijo
Season Champion

On July 19, 2009, the top 30 players from the Spring '09 Season will compete for huge prizes and bragging rights.  This tournament will be played in Muckleshoot Casino's Poker Room, complete with their tables and their dealers.  This will be an invitational event, and only those VIP members who have earned their seat will receive the coveted invitation.

To earn an invitation, you must be ranked in the top 4 in at least one of the 6 Divisions.  The top player in the Average Finish Wild Card Race will also receive an invitaiton as will the winner from the Special Event held this past season, and the Satelitte Sing Go's.  Please keep in mind that only VIP Members will be eligible for an invitation.

Should a player qualify for an invitation by being ranked in the top 4 of more than one Division, they will earn an extra 1000 starting chips for each division after their first.  In addition, they will open up an invitation in the Divsion they are ranked lowest in, for another player to qualify.

Prizes and trophy's will be announced before the Tournament commences.

Invitations will be emailed within 24 hours of the close of play for the season, on Wednesday July 8th.  YOU MUST REPLY NO LATER THAN MIDNIGHT July 12th.  If you have not replied within that time, your seat will be given to the next qualifying player in the Division you qualified from.

The Championship event will be played with 30 players, across 3 tables.  All players will start with 3000 in chips (unless you've earned more - see above).  and the blinds will follow the structure of our Extended Format.  All SPO rules will be in effect and are expected to be adhered to.

In addition, there will be a No Limit Cash Game following the Championship. Minimum buy-in is $100 and the maximum is $200, with blinds a constant $1/$3 ($5 bring-in/minimum bet).  Any SPO player, regardless of VIP status or whether you played in the Championship or not, can come and play in the cash game.  If you haven't qualified for the Championship, come and watch the action and then sit down and play for real money with the folks you've played all season with!
