2008 Duplicate
Poker World Championship Announced Duplicate Poker
announced today the launch of the first-ever
Duplicate Poker World Championship. The inaugural
competition aims to determine the world's best
poker player by using the Duplicate Poker format,
which dramatically reduces luck and emphasizes
skill. Players can qualify now to earn their chance
to play in the world championship. Duplicate Poker's
innovative twist on poker limits the luck of the
draw by dealing to each table in the tournament
from the same deck. Players in each seat are ranked
against players at other tables who were dealt the
exact same cards. Since Duplicate Poker is viewed
as a skill game, it's legal in most jurisdictions
within the United States. The Duplicate
Poker World Championship combines online and live
poker. Initial qualifying rounds are now running
online at Duplicate Poker. Qualifications began on
February 4 and continue for 30 consecutive weeks
through September 14th, when the first round of
regional online tournaments will take place. The
regional round is divided into six distinct
geographical regions totaling 180 players. This
will be followed by a round of quarterfinals, also
to be played online at Duplicate Poker. Quarterfinal
winners will be placed on a regional team of seven
players. These finalists will win complete travel
packages (hotel accommodations, airfare and meals)
at a live venue where the semi-final and
championship rounds will be played. The
championship round will be scored both individually
and as a team. An announcement of the exact
location and dates of play will be made
soon. Entry into the
Duplicate Poker World Championship costs nothing;
players just need to make the top of the weekly
Duplicate Poker Tournament Leader Board during one
of the qualifying weeks. This means a new player
who makes a very small deposit and plays for as
short as a week could conceivably become the first
Duplicate Poker World Champion. Get involved -
