The World Series of Poker (WSOP) recently announced a major revamp and overhaul of the WSOP Circuit Events for 2010-2011, which will be it’s seventh season. These changes are in response to declining numbers of participants in Circuit Event tournaments in recent years.
“We recognized the WSOP Circuit Events needed a shot in the arm, and we believe we’ve responded with steroids,” said WSOP Vice President Ty Stewart. “The new model is exactly what the WSOP is all about, giving poker players of all bankrolls the chance for compete for the kind of fame, fortune and respect that comes only with a WSOP bracelet and a national television audience.”
The WSOP will introduce a cumulative ranking system, a season-ending National Championship tournament, 4 Regional WSOP Circuit Championships, and standardized structures and pay-outs at all events.
The 2010-2011 WSOP Circuit season schedule will include at least 12 stops with additional venues and dates to be announed in the next several months. This year’s tour will begin on August 19th at Horseshoe Council Bluffs in Iowa and will continue through May 22, 2011 at Harrah’s New Orleans.
