Card Player’s new rules for its 2008 Player of the Year qualifications are available in a column by Bob Pajich. Pajich supplies the entire list, pointing out which are changes from 2007.
The championship events of the following international tourneys all count toward POY standings: European Poker Tour, Asian Pacific Poker Tour, Aussie Millions, and World Series of Poker Europe.
At least the final six players in sixhanded events will receive points. In events that have buy-ins of $10,000 or more, the top 18 will receive points.
Players in heads-up events will now receive points. For events with a cap of 64 entrants, the top four will receive points. For 65-128 entrants, the top eight will receive points; for 129-plus entrants, the top 16 will receive points (point values are listed below).
Criteria tend to evolve each year. 2007 itself was different than 2006.
