Two of the promotions underway for February 2012 at America’s Cardroom are Double Guarantees Week and a $100k Points Race.
For the week lasting from Monday, February 6 through Sunday, February 12, America’s Cardroom will be hosting another Double Guarantees Week. That means every Guaranteed Tournament scheduled this week will have its guaranteed prize pool doubled. That includes dozens of tournaments with guarantees ranging as high as $5k, $7.5k and $15k normally, now doubled to $10k, $15k and $30k, respectively. It includes rebuy and addon events, bounty tournaments, deep stack events, turbo tournaments, freezeouts and more.
While Double Guarantees Week last, obviously, for just one week, America’s Cardroom’s $100k Points Race last the whole month long. For all of February 2012, players can win a share of $100,000 in cash through the combination of a $60k marathon and four weekly $10k sprints.
The $60k Marathon lasts all February long and it tracks players on a leaderboard by points earned, paying out to the top 275 finishers, with the top finisher getting $8k. Additionally, each week America’s Cardroom hosts a $10k Sprint from Friday to Sunday. The site will pay out the top 125 finishers on these weekly leaderboards, with each week’s first place finisher getting $2k.
As with the $60k Marathon this is a points race, but unlike the monthly event, these weekly sprints only count points from Ring Game play. Points earned playing tournaments, whether MTT, satellite or Sit ‘n’ Go, do not count for the $40k Sprint, though they do count for the $60k Marathon.
