Additionally, a new multi-tiered, color-coded system known as the "Equity Index" will be integrated into our website (more info below).

Why are we doing this?

Of all feedback received, the lack of a formal bonus chip structure is one of the concerns most frequently submitted by Club Members. Furthermore, players have continuously expressed frustration at the fact that they never know what kind of chip bonuses to expect when visiting a new venue or encountering a new Tournament Director.

Unfortunately, devising a universal bonus structure that would appeal to a multitude of players with varying preferences proved to be a futile endeavor. In an effort to accommodate as many people as possible, we have opted for a multi-tiered system that we feel will alleviate most players’ concerns.

Presenting the all-new "Equity Index"

Launching simultaneously with the new Bonus Chip Structure will be an exclusive new website feature that we are calling the IPC “Equity Index.” The Equity Index provides players with at-a-glance knowledge of what kind of bonus chip structure a tournament will offer before heading to the venue.

This “know before you go” approach will simplify the process of choosing where to play and will eliminate any unwelcome surprises related to bonus chip structure upon arriving at the venue.

How does it work?

Beginning February 1st, all tournaments listed on our website will feature a color-coded icon that designates which of the 3 bonus structures will be used during the event.

The icon designations are as follows:

= Maximum Bonus Chips (unrestricted)

= Moderate Bonus Chips (1 receipt + 3 add-ons)

= Minimum Bonus Chips (1 receipt + 2 add-ons)

Please note that tournaments designated as red-tier events are unrestricted and the number and value of bonuses will vary. Yellow- and Green-tier tournaments will adhere strictly to our pre-defined Bonus Chip Structure.

Earn Bonus Points!

Club Members who make it to the final table at any tournament designated as green-tier, will earn bonus points ranging from 5 for 10th place to 50 for 1st place. The reason we have decided to reward green-tier players with additional points is simple: when there are fewer opportunities to add-on to your stack, it becomes more difficult to make it to the final table.
