STRUCTURE & POINTS
POINTS SYSTEM
Red Hot Poker Tour™ Members can accumulate points to qualify for Championship and Prize tournaments. The final Leader Board determines the Members that qualify for the Tournament of Champions for that season. Terms & Conditions Apply. Tournaments of 11 or fewer players are ½ points.
BONUS CHIPS & POINTS: Members who register wearing clothing with a Party Poker logo receive an additional 500 value chip in their starting stack. If they win the tournament, they will receive a bonus 500 points. Red Club gear is also valid for the bonus, but sharing gear is not permitted and disqualifies all players involved. At new venues, “DOUBLE POINTS” can be awarded to a maximum of 3500. The 500 point bonus does not increase during Multiplier or Double Point special events.
