Global Poker Index
The Global Poker Index (GPI) is a leaderboard index that ranks over 300,000 live tournament poker players in the world. The GPI poker rankings are updated on a weekly basis. Players’ performances are assessed by their finishing positions in poker tournaments occurring over six periods of six months (3 years).〔
The Global Poker Index uses data from the biggest poker database The Hendon Mob, known for collecting results of tournaments around the world and for being the reference in tournament results. They currently host results for almost 200,000 poker tournaments.
The index is used in famous newspapers along sports results to communicate about poker rankings, both on the online and print version.〔
== History ==
The Global Poker Index was originally created by Federated Sports + Gaming, along with the Epic Poker League(EPL), with Former World Series Of Poker (WSOP) commissioner Jeffrey Pollack acting as the executive chairman, professional poker player Annie Duke as commissioner, and Matt Savage as the League’s tournament director. The GPI was employed to rank players for the EPL and decide which players could take part in the League. On 29 February 2012, when Federated Sports + Gaming announced that they had filed for Bankruptcy, all of the organization’s and all the brands were acquired by Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc., at a bankruptcy auction in June 2012.〔 Following this acquisition, Zokay Entertainment and the company’s CEO, Alexandre Dreyfus acquired the GPI brand, along with its patent-pending formula, in order to create a single, unified ranking platform covering the live tournament poker world in its entirety.〔
