Bonus: Win A Cruise Vacation For Two!
To spice things up, we have decided to award a lucky player a CRUISE VACATION! This bonus prize package will be given away ONLINE later this fall. Get away from the winter doldrums for the Caribbean! Another great reason to play in the league!
*NEW* Improved Points System
We've analyzed our regular points system and found a need to place more emphasis on PERFORMANCE. This change is particularly important for smaller leagues (under 20 average players) and will basically INCREASE the points across the board for those who score in weekly events. This change will go into effect OCTOBER 1ST!
MONTHLY Qualifying Sessions!
Leaderboards reset every MONTH, giving players the opportunity to qualify without necessarily committing to the league for extended periods of time. This should help in recruiting new players, so spread the word to your friends who are not currently playing! The top qualifiers each month earn seats in regionals and if you qualify in multiple months you will get a 2X or 3X chip BONUS at regionals! There will be two rounds of regionals: Fall & Winter, followed by state championships. Players who qualify for the state championship more than once will get a double chip stack bonus at the event!
League Champ Medallion
Cumulative point leaders from each bar will earn the LEAGUE CHAMP title for the Fall and Winter quarters. In larger regions League Champs earn another bonus (with minimum average attendance of 25 players throughout the quarter), automatically qualifying for the state championship (currently MN, ND, SD only).
Perfect Attendance DRAWINGS
Regular attendance in league will be rewarded! We will have a drawing for prizes such as iPod Touch, Bose Headphones, and other prizes for those players who have "perfect attendance" for the fall or winter quarters. Besides all these great reasons to play FREE poker in the league, the best part is still the same -- it's FUN! Bring a friend and introduce them to the league!
