Commencing Sunday 28th May and running for four weeks, VC Poker will stage an additional 20 qualifiers for the VC Student Poker Championship Final.

The qualifiers will run every Sunday through to Thursday until 22nd June and will follow the format detailed below.

None of these qualifiers will carry a prize pool but rather points will be awarded for individual performance in each of the tournaments, with each player's totals counting towards their own ranking as well as the overall ranking for their university. The winner of each qualifier (20 in total) will progress through to the Grand Final along with the Top 10 ranking players from the winning University  (i.e. the college with the highest number of total points accumulated over the tournament series).

Each of the 10 players from the winning University will receive $500 in their VC Poker account ($5,000) with the remaining $5,000 being distributed equally amongst the rest of the winning University's players participating in this freeroll tournament series.

NB: If any of the top ten players from the winning University already have a seat in the final – the additional seat will be passed along to the next highest ranking player from that University.  The Prize money will however, stay with the original winner.

The Grand Final will take place, initially, online at 19.30 GMT on Sunday 25th June (TBC) and will play down until 6 players remain. These 6 players will then be invited to see the tournament through to conclusion in The Poker Bowl on 30th June where they will each start with an equal amount of chips regardless of how many they had accumulated in the online element of the final. The Final Table will be taped for television broadcast and shown no less that 10 times on the Pokerzone Television channel providing ample opportunity for friends and family to see their poker prodigies in action.

IMPORTANT: To qualify you must meet the criteria below:

1. You must have a real money account with VC Student Poker (no deposit required)
2. You must be currently be enrolled at a University (proof of ID required to receive winnings).
3. You must change your profile location to stipulate which University you currently attend.  This is extremely important as the additional 10 seats and $10,000 in prize money split amongst the players from the the highest ranking university will be based on the University you attend..
