Delaware Valley Poker Club/Series II

The Series II of the Delaware Valley Poker Club (DVPC) is a friendly group of poker players who wish to compete against each other in low-stakes poker tournaments online, in casinos, and in live home games. Participants each contribute $100 to a "Jackpot Fund" which will be rewarded to the best-performing DVPC player after a series of tournament opportunities. That winning player will use that jackpot to buy into larger-stakes poker tournament(s), and the winnings (if any) will be distributed on a pro-rated basis of terms back to the entire Club membership.

Points system

The Series II of the DVPC will incorporate some modifications over the Series I scoring system, which players felt too strongly awarded points for large, low-stakes online tournaments, as well as left other players feeling "hopeless" when one player scored a very high finish in one large tournament (and going on to win the Series). Therefore, points for each tournament finish will be assessed as in Series I; however, in Series II, live in-casino points will be multiplied by 1.5, and live in-home points will be multiplied by 2.0.

Ranking of players will be managed in a new way. Series II player performances will be sorted from highest to lowest, for each player. Then both the highest and the lowest point totals (the outliers) will be discarded, leaving behind the "middle" scores for each player, which will then be averaged together. To reward dedication to the Club and frequency of play, after results are averaged, a 10-point bonus will be awarded for every match beyond five (5) that the player participated in.

There will be no need to "declare" your participation in any matches this Series -– if you are seated in a tournament, you are declaring it by default. If a player reaches ten (10) seated matches, he may continue to play for fun and profit in the 11th and/or 12th matches, but these will not be tallied for performance points or bonus points.

Example: Suppose a player, Chip Staxalot, participates in eight different tournaments, earning scores of 375, 250, 150, 50, 50, 50, 50, and 20. The scores of 375 (the highest) and 20 (the lowest) are rejected. The average of 250 + 150 + 50 + 50 + 50 + 50 is then taken, which equals 600 / 6, or an average of 100. Then, the average of 100 is boosted by a bonus of 30 points, because Chip participated in eight tournaments (three beyond the required five). Chip earns a final Series score of 130.

The Beeg Weenah

The Series II top finisher will take jackpot prize money (plus a reasonable travel stipend) to attend a Borgata $300 +$40 Friday Noon or Saturday 11:00 AM tournament, plus a Taj Mahal $175 +$25 Friday 7:15 PM tournament. Winnings would be divested per our terms.
