This is Deaf Poker Online Series therefore the players are expected to be deaf. There may be some hearing players who would show up and play- leave them alone but they will be found out and disqualified from the award. Please be courteous and do not go on “witch hunts”. Some of them may be our CODA or interpreter friends so be nice.
There are 15 events and the best 12 of each player’s points will be counted toward the “DPOS #3 Champion”. This means you can miss 3 games and have the points from the other 12 games you played count. This also means you can play all 15 games and have your worst 3 performances dismissed. A note of warning- all of the points totals will be tallied until the conclusion of the final event and then the lowest totals subtracted from your totals.
The points are figured as following: Buy-in multiplied by # of entrants divided by your finish position square rooted. Example: JoeCool finished 4th in $5 event with 55 players. $5 multiplied by 55 is 275. 275 divided by 4 is 68.75. Square root of 68.75 is 8.23 JoeCool earned 8.23 points for his 4th place finish. The buy-in of rebuys will be figured as an average for each entrants. Warning- rebuys may count highest of all games in the tournament so they are must-play/cant-miss.
