ACR Poker Launches USA Weekly Leaderboard With $6,195 in Sunday Tickets
U.S.-registered players can earn points across 40 weeknight events, with the first rewards usable Oct. 18.
ACR Poker will launch its USA Weekly Leaderboard on Monday, Oct. 12, giving U.S.-registered accounts four nights of designated tournaments to earn points toward Sunday ticket packages. The top 10 finishers each week will split $6,195 in tournament tickets, rather than cash.
The inaugural contest runs Oct. 12-15. Tickets will be issued Friday, Oct. 16, for use in the featured Sunday events on Oct. 18. The same Monday-through-Thursday qualifying format, Friday distribution and following-Sunday redemption schedule will apply in later weeks.
Players can score points in 40 qualifying tournaments, with 10 starting each night from 6:15 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. ET. A USA flag in the poker client identifies eligible events; tournaments outside that designated lineup do not count. Only accounts registered in the United States can place on the leaderboard or receive rewards.
First place receives a $1,294 package covering all 10 featured Sunday tournaments. That bundle includes the $630 Sunday HR, which carries a $500,000 guarantee, and the $215 Sunday Special, with a $200,000 guarantee. Both begin at 12:05 p.m. ET.
Players finishing second through fifth receive $664 in tickets apiece, without the Sunday HR. Sixth through 10th each receive $449, excluding both the Sunday HR and Sunday Special.
Every rewarded player receives entries to eight other events: Sunday Splash, Major Mash up MB, Sunday Moneymaker, Sunday Smash, Mini-Special, Pardy Time PKO, The Encore MB and Curtain Call MB. The featured Sunday schedule begins at 10:30 a.m. ET and runs through a 4:15 p.m. ET start time.
The tickets do not automatically enter winners into those events. Recipients must register themselves before registration closes, and unused tickets expire at midnight ET on the first Sunday after the contest, with no carryover to a future week.
