Local Pub Leagues
Seasons are 4 months in duration:
1st January - 30th April
1st May - 31st August
1st September - 31 December
Players 🧲 earn points according to their finishing position on the night.
At the end of the season the top 25% (maximum 15) 🧲 players at each venue qualify for an end of season Tournament.
At this end of season Tournament a certain number of 🧲 players will then qualify for the next National Final.
The National Finals are held in prestigious Casinos and the players have 🧲 the opportunity to win major cash prizes and trips to Las Vegas
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 amount of events in 🧲 a season, to ensure their players qualify for the end of season Tournament.
Points allocation
For every player in attendance, 200 points 🧲 are added to the Points Prize Fund for that night*
These points will then be allocated to the top eight players 🧲 in the following way:
1st = 30% of prize fund
2nd = 20%
3rd = 13%
4th = 10%
5th = 9%
6th = 7%
7th = 🧲 6%
8th = 5%
50 points for all others.
Additional 30 points awarded for bringing membership card
* If less than 8 players in 🧲 attendance, whilst 200 points per player get added to the prize pot, players still receive the same % of points 🧲 as above.
As an example, if there were nine players at an event, there would be 1,800 points to play for. 🧲 The winner would therefore win 540 points (30 % of the total prize fund), and the points awarded would descend 🧲 down to the person who finishes 8th, with that person claiming 90 points (5 % of the prize fund). Regardless 🧲 of how many people have entered, players who failed to finish in the top eight would receive 80 points. So 🧲 the higher you finish, the more points you will win from the prize fund on that night.
* If there was 🧲 5 players there would be 1000 points to play for. The winner would receive 300 points (30% of the total 🧲 prize fund) and so on.
