The Quarter Finals Scoring System
We are down to seven nations in the Global Poker Masters World cup and here's what at stake right now. Team United States won the playoff round late last night and gets a 50,000-chip bonus heading into the semifinals.
The teams who are facing off in the quarter finals will battle for 17,000 points per match, and can win a total of 51,000 points in case they win all three heads-up battles. For instance if George Danzer (Team Germany) beats his opponent, Jonathan Duhamel (Team Canada), he will win 17,000 chips for his team.
Because of this scoring system the pressure is on Team Ukraine and Team France, as they are separated by just 2,000 points on the current ranking. The team in seventh, and last, place at the end of the quarter finals will be eliminated, as just six teams, including Team United States, will move onto the semifinals.
