ACR Poker Unveils New USA Weekly Leaderboard With Sunday Tournament Tickets Up for Grabs

Starting October 12, US-registered players can turn Monday–Thursday tournament results into a share of more than $6,000 in weekly Sunday tickets.

A strong weeknight run could give your Sunday schedule a useful head start. ACR Poker’s new USA Weekly Leaderboard launches Monday, October 12, with over $6,000 in tournament tickets every week for US-registered accounts.

Play designated evening tournaments, earn points from your results and aim for the weekly top 10. The winner receives a $1,294 bundle covering all 10 featured Sunday events, including the $630 Sunday HR. The qualifying games are marked with a USA flag in the ACR Poker client.

Four evenings to build your position

Each weekly contest runs Monday through Thursday. Ten qualifying tournaments start each evening between 6:15pm ET and 9:45pm ET, giving you a choice of events without requiring you to play the entire lineup.

Only the designated tournaments earn leaderboard points. The calculation follows ACR’s series leaderboard system. Your results contribute to the weekly standings, and a fresh contest starts the following Monday.

The first contest therefore runs October 12–15, with tickets issued Friday, October 16, for use on Sunday, October 18.

What the top 10 receive

First place earns tickets to all 10 Sunday events, worth $1,294. Finishing second through fifth earns a $664 bundle each, with every listed ticket except the $630 Sunday HR.

Players finishing sixth through tenth receive $449 each in tickets: the same lineup without the $630 Sunday HR or the $215 Sunday Special. The weekly rewards total $6,195, calculated from the published bundles.

These are tournament tickets. They are not cash payouts, and receiving them does not automatically register you for the Sunday events.

Weekly Finish Sunday Ticket Bundles
Weekly Finish Ticket Value Bundle
1st $1,294 All 10 featured Sunday tickets
2nd–5th $664 each All except the $630 Sunday HR
6th–10th $449 each All except Sunday HR and $215 Sunday Special

The Sunday grind in your bundle

The weekly winner’s package includes the Sunday HR $500K GTD and the Sunday Special $200K GTD, both starting at 12:05pm ET. The Sunday Special ticket goes to the top five; the Sunday HR ticket goes to first place.

All 10 rewarded players receive the other eight tickets. Those cover the Sunday Splash, Major Mash up MB, Sunday Moneymaker, Sunday Smash, Mini-Special, Pardy Time PKO, The Encore MB and Curtain Call MB.

The lineup stretches from 10:30am ET to 4:15pm ET. Choose your sessions and enter each event before its registration closes.

Sunday Tournament Schedule
Start ET Sunday Tournament Ticket / Recipients
10:30am Sunday Splash $50K GTD $11 / top 10
11:30am Major Mash up MB $80K GTD $66 / top 10
12:05pm Sunday HR $500K GTD $630 / 1st
12:05pm Sunday Special $200K GTD $215 / top 5
12:05pm Sunday Moneymaker $300K GTD $109 / top 10
12:30pm Sunday Smash $75K GTD $22 / top 10
1:30pm Mini-Special $75K GTD $55 / top 10
1:30pm Pardy Time PKO - $30K GTD $33 / top 10
4:15pm The Encore MB - $75K GTD $109 / top 10
4:15pm Curtain Call MB - $40K GTD $44 / top 10

Find the flag in the evening lobby

The qualifying schedule starts with The Loncar Daily Double and The Boski Daily Double, each offering 6:15pm ET and 6:45pm ET starts. Their buy-ins are $55 and $11, respectively.

The rest of the evening includes PKOs at 7:05pm ET ($33), 7:15pm ET ($88) and 7:30pm ET ($16.50). A $109 event starts at 8:15pm ET, followed by a $33 Mystery Bounty Turbo at 8:45pm ET and a $21 PKO Hyper at 9:45pm ET.

Check the USA flag and the tournament lobby before registering. An event outside the designated lineup will not add points to this leaderboard.

Friday delivery Sunday deadline

The top 10 receive their tickets on Friday. You then register yourself for the specified tournaments on the first Sunday after that week’s contest. Tickets expire at midnight at the end of that Sunday, ET.

That makes the weekend deadline part of the plan. A Friday ticket is useful only if you put it into an eligible event in time; it does not carry forward into a later weekly contest.

Only US-registered accounts can appear on the USA Weekly Leaderboard and receive its rewards. Eligibility follows the registered account, rather than an invitation to all players.

Make your first week count

You do not have to enter all 10 events each night. Pick the qualifying tournaments that suit your time and bankroll, then let your results determine your position.

For the opening week, the dates are easy to keep together: October 12–15 to earn points, October 16 for ticket delivery and October 18 to play your Sunday rewards.

Before your first session, open the client, find the USA-flagged events and check the lobbies. Four evenings give you the chance to turn a top 10 finish into a Sunday schedule with tickets already waiting.
