The Nuts Poker League - How the League Works

Local Pub Leagues

Seasons run:

• 01 Jan -31 March
• 01 Apr - 30 June
• 01 July - 30 Sept
• 01 Oct - 31 Dec

Each player is registered and issued a membership number the first time they play.To Join the league players need to simply turn up at a venue, we suggest 15-20 minutes before advertised start time.

Players gain points each time they play with the aim, at the end of the season to be in the top 25% of players at their Venue and be invited to a Quarterly Regional Poker Tournament. At this Tournament a certain number of players will then qualify for the next National Final. The number of players that qualify from each Regional Final is calculated fairly according to the number of players in each region.

The National Finals are held during May & November, at which the top players from each Regional Event over the past 6 months play against each other, to try and win major prizes.

A player can play at as many venues as they wish, and will appear in the league table of each venue.

A new player can join at any stage of the season.

Venues can join at any stage of the season, but must have staged a minimum of 4 events in a season, for their players to qualify through to the Regional Tournament.

For every player at each event there will be 200 points in the Points prize Fund for that night. These points will be allocated to the top 8 players in the following way:

• 1st = 30% of prize fund
• 2nd = 20%
• 3rd = 13%
