Yes, it is time once again for FPG's annual championship series.
Same FPG rules apply for all playoff games, except that the key game bonuses and the normal FPG points and monies schedules will not. The 1,2,3,4 bonuses, pre-call bonuses, perfect 6 bonus, and Super Secret Million Dollar Bonus are still available, though. In order to participate in this championship series, you have to qualify for it.
You are an automatic qualifier if:
--You are one of the 8 people with the highest point totals of this season
--You are one of the 8 people with the highest cash totals of the remaining FPG players this season
Even if you're not an automatic qualifier, you may still compete in the championship as a wild card if:
--You have played at least 24 of the 32 games this season (75% of the games)
--You are a past or present FPG moderator (BRB_TheFireball, FPGWillyT, ClockGameJohn, and Seth/Chelsea)
--You placed in the Top 8 of last season's Goodson-Dobkowitz Cup (Flerbert419, Kev347, Punchboard91, thepriceis_J, UniquePerspective, vadernader, whammy007, and wildbill0962)
--You are a former staff member of TPIR
Once the field is established, the tournament will begin.
Qualifying Round -- June 5, 2015
The 12 players with the highest MP/CP scores will advance to the next day's FPG. You must score at least 1 MP in order to advance, so it is possible for fewer than 12 players to advance. Any player who is eliminated from the qualifying round will not receive any consolation points or monies.
Quarterfinals -- June 12, 2015
Top 8 players advance to next week's FPG. A minimum of 1 MP is still required to advance. Any player who is eliminated from the quarterfinals will receive a consolation of $75,000 and 30 FPG points.

All semifinals participants will automatically qualify for the 2016 Goodson-Dobkowitz Cup, regardless of their rankings (or lack thereof) in the 2015-16 FPG season.
