Players - Pub League Format
Firstly, don't worry if your venue joins us part way through a season - any player who has played at least one game at their venue and is registered is eligible to play in the finals.
As well as players registered at your home venue you may also have guest players from other pubs and clubs.

Before the game starts make sure you are registered on the venue score sheet.
Games start at the advertised time for each venue.
All players must be signed in by the team captain. Allocated a seat and given 2,000 in playing chips for a £5 entry fee.
All games are freeze-out and re-buys are not permitted.
BLINDS
For the first hour the small blind is 50 and the big blind is 100.
There is a 15 minute break after the first hour’s play.
Blinds increase every 15 minutes from now on as follows:
| 100 small blind | 200 big blind |
| 200 small blind | 400 big blind |
| 300 small blind | 600 big blind |
| 400 small blind | 800 big blind |
| 500 small blind | 1,000 big blind |
The blinds double up every 15 minutes after that.
The game will continue until one player holds all the chips, and prize fund and points will be awarded at this stage.
Full details of rules, betting and terms and conditions can be found with your team captain.
