Super Series gets a revamp
The PSA Super Series 2010, a series of major events throughout
2010 leading to a prestigious season-ending climax in December, will be
the focus of next year's PSA World Tour.
Players competing in the events, which will kick off with the
long-established Tournament of Champions at Grand Central
Terminal in New York in January, will accrue points from each. The top
eight players across the PSA Super Series 2010 will earn the right to
compete in a PSA Super Series Finals play-off championship in
December, the winner of which will be crowned the 2010 PSA Super Series
Champion.
Each Super Series event will carry the same points structure and an
update of the PSA Super Series 2010 points race will be published during
and at the end of each event, giving added impetus to the series and
creating a strong narrative across the year.
All the Super Series 2010 events will be featured in the new live/near
live worldwide TV coverage produced by PSA's new TV partners Total
Sports Asia (PSA goes live on TV, 14-Oct).
"This will provide a long-awaited new stimulus for the expanding PSA
World Tour and give a new focus for our leading events," explained PSA
Chief Executive Alex Gough. "Furthermore, the programme will
reach a climax at the year-end for the first time.
"We are working on finalising the list of events, but due to next year's
busy calendar we need to liaise closely with promoters to organise this.
"We also hope to announce further details of the season-ending event
soon, including a major prize for the winner and a better prize-fund
breakdown to incentivise players in the group matches," Gough added.
