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.
Nuts Poker League Rules Card Game
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.

Anyone can play, as long as you get to the venue early and register to play in time. Each tournament is open to anyone who wishes to play provided they are 18 or over.
Poker generally starts at either 7.30pm or 8pm and will run until there is an overall winner, around 11pm. But the exact time that the tournament finishes will depend on the number of players participating.
The number of players varies from venue to venue. Some venues have up to eight players whereas some have over 40 players. You can play at as many venues as you like.
Some venues may play for small stakes, which is fine provided kept within the legal limits. We suggest you contact the venue before attending if you wish to know, if they do or not.
Each player takes turns to deal, but if you are not confident then another player may deal for you. Dealing is easy and players soon settle and deal when it's their turn.
The Tournament Director will run the games. They will ensure that everyone who wants to play gets a game, settle any issues with hand ranking, and points allocation.

Why Use A Card Guard, Card Protector, Card Capper or Card Cover
It is NOT until your ‘Pocket’ Cards (Texas Hold’em) have mistakenly been ‘MUCKED’, that you realise the IMPORTANCE of a CARD GUARD also known as CARD PROTECTOR. CARD CAPPER or CARD COVER.
Some Players place their Card Guard on their Chip Stack, whilst others, like myself, place it on their ‘Pocket’ cards i.e. the two cards dealt ‘face down’ to each of the Players.
One thing is for sure, if you are seated to the IMMEDIATE LEFT or IMMEDIATE RIGHT of the dealer, you should most definitely use a CARD GUARD. I learned the hard way! Whilst playing in a high value Buy-In Tournament at the Bellagio, Las Vegas. I was in seat 1 i.e. to the IMMEDIATE left of the Dealer. I was ‘under the gun’ i.e. sitting in the seat after the Big Blind and I was dealt Pocket 10’s. I raised pre flop and there was a ‘caller’ in Seat 6 and the Small Blind re-raised. I called the re-raise, as did the Player in Seat 6. The Flop was Ace 10 4. Again the player in the Small Blind position made a bet of approximately 75% of the Chips already in the Pot & I just called the Bet, as did the Player in Seat 6.Whilst I had been watching what action was taking place by the other 2 Players, after having placed my bet, I had NOT noticed the Dealer pull my two cards into the Dead Cards. Unfortunately, the rules of Poker state that once your cards ‘hit’ the Dead cards, your hand is ‘Dead’. Whilst I declared my annoyance to the Dealer, there was nothing further I could do. If I had a Card Guard over my Pocket Cards, the likelihood is that my 2 Cards would NOT have been taken by the Dealer and I would have gone on to win a very big Pot, as the 2 other players, played & bet to the River and I would have had the Winning Hand.
Things from then on, went from bad to worse and I was quickly eliminated from the Tournament.
Perhaps you should Google ‘ESTELLE DENIS vs. J C TRAN’ at the WSOP. It more than justifies the reason that Card Guard’s should be used by ALL Poker Player’s.

Perhaps at some future date, a RULING will be made, stating that all Players should use some form of Card Guard, so as to STOP Players covering their Pocket Cards with their Hands, thus enabling the game to play-out in an orderly and calm manner!

Remember, the ‘Heavier’ the Card Guard, the LESS likelyhood of your Pocket Cards being thrown into the Muck inadvertantly!
Those of you who have picked-up and held the SKULLMAN Card Guard that I presently use in Tournaments, will know exactly what I am talking about.
