Eternal Rose Prizes
Winners of this prize receive an "Eternal Rose," a rose in a liquid filled globe. Five players will win this prize, each selected at random. To qualify a player must participate in the event and finish with at least half of their starting amount. As this prize (and its shipping and handling) is being donated by a community member, eligibility is also limited to those living in the US.

Frequently
Asked Questions About Tournaments
Q) How do I sign
up for the Tournament?
A) We don't like
making people have to fill out unnecessary forms, so all paying
members are automatically signed up so they can play if they
want to. Please note, however, that you do need to have a
valid email address in order to play in the tournament. If
you don't have a valid email address and you win, we have
no way to reach you! If you have not validated your email,
then you will be asked to when you try to join the tournament.
If you would like to validate
your email address now, you can do so on the my
account page.
Q) The tournament
lasts a while; do I need to play for the whole time?
A) Not at all!
We have the tournaments run for such a long time so that people
in all time zones have a fair chance at a convenient time
for them to play, but you can play as much (or as little)
as you like. When you leave a tournament table, your tournament
chips/points are placed in a special virtual vault and kept
safe until you need them again. This allows you to hop from
table to table or take a several-hour break (naps are highly
recommended! <smile>) and still have your winnings waiting
for you when you come back.
Q) Where will
the qualifying tournament take place?
A) On a special tournament server, a link to this server will appear on the Play Poker and Play Crazy Eights pages during the event to allow easy access.
