Friday, 30 July 2010 12:26

PokerStars has announced the launch of the new Women's Poker League, the perfect way for all female players to have fun and compete against players from all over the world in an exclusive female-only poker community, and win some incredible prizes.

With buy-ins as low as $5.50 the PokerStars Women's Poker League will run
until the end of this year, awarding points for results. The players with
the most points at the end of each month and ultimately at the end of the
year will win some fantastic prizes, with cash and PokerStars Ladies
Luxury Event packages up for grabs.

The way the competition works is simple. Every day tournaments will run at
13.10 ET and 21:10 ET respectively. Points will be awarded in each
tournament, ranging from 20 points for first place down to 10 points for
ninth place. Those cashing will receive five points while everyone who
enters will receive one point towards their total.

At the end of the month prizes will be awarded in two categories, US
Dollars and Euros. The player at the top of each points table will receive
$300/200 Euros, with cash prizes paid down to 50th place.

At the end of the year even bigger prizes will be awarded to those who
have performed well month on month. Top of the table will receive
$1,500/1,000 Euros plus a Ladies Luxury Event package, with second place
receiving $1,000/700 Euros.

Players will be able to keep track of their progress on a special rankings
page on PokerStars that will be updated regularly, and new players can
take advantage of a 100% welcome bonus when they open a PokerStars
account, making it a perfect time to start playing on the world's largest
poker site.
