List of TOC qualifiers
WSOP Circuit Points system
Making it 20 for each Circuit event would cause some problems, with 27 players qualified from the Rio because there were 8 players who had the same amount of points (10,000 for finishing 19-27).
Standings after Day 2 at the Rio circuit event. Why they have an extra 100 points added to them I have no idea.
Regarding New Orleans, Brandon Adams somehow sneaks in there, because he's not listed on the list at the WSOP website. He finished 21st in the circuit ME, and must have had a placing that earned points in one of the other NO events but didn't cash. Joe Liebman had a 2nd in a 1k event, Dennis Perry already had a final table from the Rio.
Quite a mess Harrah's got itself into, maybe in year 3 they'll finally get it right: 12 WSOPC ME winners, WSOP ME final table, plus sponsor exemptions to create a field of 27.
