Choose Your Favorite Team and Represent Them in a Series of Tournaments in the Absolute Touchdown Promotion
The NFL regular season is nearly halfway over, and teams are still vying for a coveted spot in the playoffs. At Absolute Poker, NFL fans representing their teams are also competing to make the playoffs for a chance to win tickets to Super Bowl XLII in the Absolute Touchdown promotion, and it is not too late for players to join in.
First, players must choose their favorite team and use their Absolute Poker registered e-mail account to do so. (Click here to pick a team.) Players who do not have an account must download the software and register before picking a team. (Players who need to register for a new account can click here.)
At noon ET every Saturday, teams will go head to head, according to the real NFL schedule, in a no-limit hold’em tournament. For example, this Sunday in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys are playing the Washington Redskins, which means that players representing the two teams will all play in the same tournament for the Absolute Touchdown promotion. Points are awarded at the final table with nine points going to first. Players need to register by noon on the Wednesday before the game, but once registered, players can compete in every tournament.
The tournaments include freerolls as well as real-money buy-in tournaments. Leader boards can be found at Absolute Poker’s website to keep track of how the teams are playing.
At the end of 17 weeks, the top 16 teams, according to points, make the playoffs. The teams will battle in a knockout-style competition. The two teams that accumulate the most points at the final table of each tournament will move on to the Absolute Poker Bowl.
Players representing the final two teams will all be eligible to play the last tournament. Points no longer matter. First place in the Absolute Poker Bowl will receive tickets to Super Bowl XLII in Arizona on Feb. 3, 2008.
