Fresh off the excitement of Manchester City’s historic stoppage time comeback in its season finale to win the English Premier League, PartyPoker has launched the Championship Challenge. Running May 14th through June 30th, the Championship Challenge is a promotion that gives real money players the opportunity to win cash prizes and freeroll entries by earning PartyPoints, all wrapped in a football package (that’s soccer to you Americans, but there is really no reason for you to be reading this).
The object of the promotion is to collect as many Football Players as possible. There are 64 Football Players in total, each randomly awarded for every 10 points earned at the cash game tables (PartyPoker is giving each customer his first Football Player after just 5 points). The 64 Players are divided equally amongst 16 teams, and those teams are split into 4 even groups.
Participants in the promotion will win cash prizes of varying amounts for collecting all the Football Players on a single team as well as all of the teams in a group. Anyone who acquires all 64 Football Players will win the grand prize of $100,000. A select number of Football Players will also award instant cash prizes and freeroll tournament entries.
Here is a look at all the different prizes available:

PartyPoker customers can collect up to 100 Football Players per day during the Championship Challenge and can view their collections by logging into their accounts on the PartyPoker website. In fact, players must login to their accounts to “reveal” their Football Players. While the Football Players are awarded every 10 points, they do not count towards prizes until they are “revealed.” Additionally, prizes for completing groups and teams may only be won once per person.
Football Players will be awarded through June 30th or until all Football Players have been distributed – there are currently over 3.4 million Football Players remaining. Customers will have through July 1st to reveal any collected Football Players in their accounts.
