![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Season 10 of the PokerStars European Poker Tour features a new Player of the Year system powered by the Global Poker Index. Players will be able to accumulate points in all events throughout Season 10, regardless of the buy-in level. In addition, all of the Festival Events (Estrellas, UKIPT, Eureka, FPS, IPT) that combine with an EPT tour stop will be eligible for POY points.
The winner of this season��s award will walk away with �50,000 in Main Event buy-ins, good for any PokerStars or Full Tilt sponsored event.
The Global Poker Index (GPI) points formula, which will be used to determine the EPT10 POY, is a bit complicated, but you can read about all the details here.
