Pool & Dart League, Bowling League, and now......Poker League!

Enjoy a night out playing cards with friendly people in a friendly atmosphere. It's FREE to play so when you bust out, you've lost nothing! Whether you're a skilled pro or just want to learn the game you see all over TV, this league is for you.

How the league works: Participating locations will conduct a series of weekly FREE poker tournaments (for xx weeks) to determine the top players (usually top 20% in points) who advance to playoff events. The championship events are exciting tournaments featuring the best-of-the-best players (usually less than 150 players). All tournaments are always 100% free-to-play. The championship tournament is usually held at a casino partner in Minnesota, or a different venue out of state. All players qualifying for these events will have won their seats during league play.
