PNW Australasian Rankings 080426

THE POKERNETWORK AUSTRALASIAN RANKINGS (PAR) The PNW Australasian Rankings have been in place since 2001. Before then results were taken from individual Casino results. The PAR is based on USA and Euro rankings systems and allocates points for all qualifying Australasian Casino Tournaments. In that respect it is a definitive offline Casino tournament ranking and does not take into account online or overseas performances which are recognised in other poker data bases. These rankings are used in the determination of PNW Players of the Year and Month. Details are contained in www.pokernetwork.com web pages.
