More on the Bar Poker League

Written by Nigel

For those of you who got really interested in the Bar Poker League, I just found out that they have recently expanded their operations in Florida!  This is certainly good news for people who live in the area.  One of the best things about BPL tournaments is that there is no buy in or entry fee.  More so, you do not need to be a poker pro to play.  It is just like hanging out with friends for a night of poker.  Of course, if you want to take your game to a higher level, you would certainly find some people to play with as well.

There is also no restriction when it comes to how often you play.  You just need to visit their site to get more accurate information regarding the game nights at specific venues.  In order to get the most out of your experience, it would be a good idea to sign up with BPL in their web site.  This would mean that each time you play, you would get points.  The allocation of points is as follows:

5 points – awarded to each player in each tournament simply for playing.
100 points – awarded to 1st place in each tournament.
75 points – awarded to 2nd place in each tournament.
60 points – awarded to 3rd place in each tournament.
50 points – awarded to 4th place in each tournament.
40 points – awarded to 5th place in each tournament.
30 points – awarded to 6th place in each tournament.
20 points – awarded to 7th place in each tournament.
10 points – awarded to 8th place in each tournament.

These points are used to determine the top 200 players in each District who will qualify for the District Final Events and eventually the State/Regional Final Events.
