Elite BlackMembers & Latest BM Party Trailer

Starting at the next BlackMember party, the Black status will be split into three parts: The notably active Elite BlackMembers will then receive a travel expense flat rate of $1,000 as a further feature!

The number of BlackMembers is increasing rapidly. As the current BlackMembers already assume, the club could have over 100 PokerStrategists in a year. But even BlackMembers aren't active all year long.

We now want to avoid BlackMembers having a disadvantage because the limited budget for the BM parties will be strained needlessly by an increasing amount of inactive BM's.

To be able to offer the active players a quality program with attractive gifts in the future as well, BM status will be divided into three categories depending on activity:

1. Inactive Black
   Requirement: Less than 30,000 SP in the last 6 months.
   Invitation to the party - but no cost transfer for hotel, dinner and no gift
2. Regular Black
   Requirement: At least 30,000 SP in the last 6 months
   Invitation to the party, hotel, dinner, gift - same as usual
3. Elite Black
   Requirement: At least 125,000 SP in the last 6 months or 75,000 SP in the last 3 months
   Invitation to the party, hotel, dinner, gift and a further travel expense flat rate of $1,000.

Add-on: For the first party, every BlackMember is either Regular or Elite according to his amount of points, but never Inactive.

You see that the points limit for the "regular" status has been set extremely low and is easily achievable for every BlackMember.

The Regular Blacks also profit from this change: By saving expenses for the inactive members, we are also ensuring that, in the long term, we'll have enough budget per BlackMember to retain the current high level or to perhaps even increase it further. With a mass of inactive Blacks, this wouldn't be possible.

In the internal BlackMember forum, the suggestion has already met with a lot of approval. The active BlackMembers hope that due to this, there will be another few very nice parties in the coming years!
