The WSOP POY stands for "World Series of Poker Player of the Year", which ia awarded to the player who performs the best over the course of the World Series of Poker (Las Vegas) and World Series of Poker Europe (Czech Republic).
The World Series of Poker has a points system in place that gives out points based on where a player cashes, how much they cash for, how big the tournament field is, etc. The World Series of Poker maintains a leaderboard that is frequently updated. Each time a WSOP tournament concludes, the WSOP will update the leaderboard.
There has been some controversy in years past over the way that the World Series of Poker issues points, as some people (including Daniel Negreanu) have felt that the points given out for simply cashing in an event are too generous, and that more weight should be given to actually winning bracelets.
