http://www.Boylepoker.com today announced its exclusive sponsorship of Ireland's highly regarded poker player of the year race - Irish Poker Rankings 2010.
The overall winner of Irish Poker Rankings 2010 will walk away with a $10,000 sponsorship package courtesy of the new sponsor.
There will also be huge prizes on offer to successful ranking players throughout the year such as a free token into the online Monthly Million for the player who has earned the most points in any given month.
After a succesful launch in 2009 when Francis "Wally" McCormack won the title, the ranking points system has been expanded to include many more clubs and events and points will be awarded according to event buy-in, field size and finishing position. The formula can be found at http://www.irishpokerrankings.com.
Paul Spillane, Head of Poker at Boylepoker.com, explained the company's involvement, saying, "We recognise Irish Poker Rankings as a fantastic way to connect with and bring together Ireland's grass roots poker community."
"It's widely respected, highly competitive and a lot of fun, which is right up our street, and that's why we're delighted and very proud to sponsor this year's race to the $10,000 sponsorship package!"
The idea for Irish Poker Rankings was formed at the 2008 Boylepoker.com International Poker Open, where one of Ireland's global stars of the game, Andy Black, gave a free workshop to all the players at the tournament. In his talk, he asked players where they thought they ranked as a player: in their town, in their county, or in the country. On hearing this, poker player Iain Cheyne realised there was a need for a nationally recognised Irish ranking system, encompassing live events around the country and Irish Poker Rankings was born.
