The issue is that the HPT is now a National Tour brand with a national player base. Much like if the WPT or the NAPT rolled into town, we wouldn't include that as POY either. We tend to think of the HPT as local because they started in or around Minnesota but they have now branded themselves a national tour and they even state that specifically on their site in the "About HPT" page. Although we won't be awarding POY points for HPT events we definitely support the HPT as they have done great things for poker in this area. I personally have enjoyed some great success in HPT events and enjoy playing in that atmosphere. I understand your thought process and we have thrown it around.

But glaring absent from the POY eligible tournaments are the two HPT this year @ the Shooting Star Casino. More than likely these will be the second and third largest tournaments (both size and prize pools) in Minnesota in 2010 behind Canterbury's Fall Classic. A true POY race should include all big tournaments in Minnesota. The Minnesota POY is a great idea and concept.
