Boylepoker.com Irish Poker Rankings 2010 Thread - with €10,000 to the winner

IPR_Iain

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know the big news with Irish Poker Rankings.

Boylepoker.com sponsors Irish Poker Rankings 2010 with a €10,000 prize for the winner

Irish Poker Rankings 2010 will offer €10,000 to the country’s leading player in 2010 courtesy of Boylepoker.com

www.Boylepoker.com today announced its exclusive sponsorship of Ireland’s highly regarded Irish Poker Rankings 2010.
The overall winner of Irish Poker Rankings 2010 will walk away with a €10,000 sponsorship package courtesy of the new sponsor.
There will also be huge prizes on offer to successful ranking players throughout the year such as a free token into the online Monthly Million for the player who has earned the most points in any given month. Details to follow.

After a succesful launch in 2009 when Francis “Wally” McCormack won the title, the ranking points system has been expanded to include many more clubs and events and points will be awarded according to event buy-in, field size and finishing position. The new formula can be found on the left hand side of the home page.

Paul Spillane, Head of Poker at Boylepoker.com, explained the company’s involvement, saying, “We recognise Irish Poker Rankings as a fantastic way to connect with and bring together Ireland’s grass roots poker community.”

“It’s widely respected, highly competitive and a lot of fun, which is right up our street, and that’s why we’re delighted and very proud to sponsor this year’s race to the €10,000 sponsorship package!”

The idea for Irish Poker Rankings was formed at the 2008 Boylepoker.com International Poker Open, where one of Ireland’s global stars of the game, Andy Black, gave a free workshop to all the players at the tournament. In his talk, he asked players where they thought they ranked as a player: in their town, in their county, or in the country. On hearing this, poker player Iain Cheyne realised there was a need for a nationally recognised Irish ranking system, encompassing live events around the country and Irish Poker Rankings was born.

Never knew that was where you got the idea for IPR Iain. Very best of luck this year. I know it is going to be a massive success as it was last year.

Congrats on the new sponsorship Ian,

I'll start sending across results. I think I read somewhere that all games count or is there a min buy-in and min amount of players?

Also if a game has say 20 players how many places do you need for the rankings? I only record the top 10 at my pub games (as only 10 players score points for my league).

Thanks
Jp

They will count. Should be about 150 points for winning irish open. John Keown already on 123 points.

Read this.

But essentially every game in Ireland from a reputable operator is a ranking game.

Get on to your local guy and tell him to get himself included.
