2008 (10th) Grand Prix Series

On behalf of our Sponsors, Demand Media and Cases' Ladder, I want to thank everyone who participated in the 10th Annual Grand Prix World Series of Classic Card Games. $20,000 in Cash was awarded at the Las Vegas National Championship event. The Finalists in each section also received Acrylic Plaques, and the 3rd / 4th Place winners got engraved medals. In August, $10,000 in Gift cards plus engraved medals were won at the Chicago Regional event. More than 40 players brought home Prizes in GP '08 "live" tournaments! Grand Prix represents the best in "live" Pinochle, Spades, Hearts, and Euchre competitions. We hope to add other card games in the future. Sponsors and hosts are very important to the success of the Series. Special Kudos to the U. S. Playing Card Company (Bicycle Brand) for their generous donation of cards. Remember, it is the PLAYERS who make these events so special. Without you, we would have no Grand Prix. See you in '09! Tentative sites are Cincinnati (August), and Atlanta (early November). Look for updates on this Website in early February!
