WSOP 2019C/D Season
There are two sessions that make up the WSOP 2019C/D season. WSOPC session will run from October 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018. Regional qualifiers for this session will be held during the week of January 13th. WSOPD session will run from January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2018. Regional qualifiers for this session will be held during the week of April 7th. The top 30% of people who earn points throughout a session at each tournament, will qualify for a regional event. If you cannot make your assigned regional, you may request to attend an alternate, but you must make the request at least 24 hours before your assigned regional event. The winner of each regional event will receive a $500 bonus chip to be awarded at the State Tournament. The top ten finishers from each regional event will move on to the State Tournament.
The Champion of each location (point leader) during each session, will still receive auto-entry to the State Tournament and is not required to qualify though a Regional Qualifier Tournament. If a player is the Champion of multiple locations, they will be rewarded with a $500 bonus chip for each additional location. For example, if a player is the Champion of three locations during the course of the season, they will receive auto-entry to the State Tournament, as well as $1000 in bonus chips. Bar champions will only be declared for venues that held at least six (6) tournaments in a session.
