What
is the Atlanta Poker
Club?
The Atlanta Poker
Club is a group of
people who play no
limit texas holdem
tournament together
on a regular basis,
playing in freeroll
poker tournaments
at local sports bars
and restaurants. Players
compete against one
another over the course
of a season and prizes
awarded.
It is free to play
in the Atlanta Poker
Club and no wagering
of any kind is allowed
at any events.
How
does the league work?
For decades there
have been bowling
leagues, dart leagues,
pool leagues and now
poker leagues. The
poker league allows
you to test your poker
playing skills against
other poker players
in competitive, organized
poker tournaments
with dedicated organizers
and a points system.
As a player, your
results are tracked
over the course of
time. You are awarded
points based off of
your finish in a particular
tournament. The amount
of points you earn
is determined by how
many players compete
in the tournament.
The more players,
the higher amount
of points awarded.
How
does the points system
work?
Our scoring system
uses a forumla that
awards points based
off the number of
players in any given
tournament. Finishing
1st in a 70 person
tournament would win
more points than someone
who wins a 20 person
tournament.
1st place in a 20
person tournament
wins 268.33 points
1st place in a 50
person tournament
wins 424.26 points
1st place in a 70
person tournament
wins 502 .00 points
The forumla is designed
to calculate a total
point value for a
tournament based on
the number of players
reward the players
who beat the larger
fields but also make
winning a smaller
venue a substantial
boost in points.
How
do I earn points?
By making the final
table of any Atlanta
Poker Club event and
providing the tournament
director your name
and email address
so you can be added
to our points database,
that displays to the
leaderboard.
Your points will now
be tracked to you
across all venues
you play at. You can
also earn points by
finishing in the top
two tables of any
events that have 30+
players.
How
does the leaderboard
work?
Visit the leaderboard
and from there select
your season and the
venue you would like
to see the points
standings for. Once
you select a new venue,
the leaderboard will
calculate and display
on the page you are
currently on.
Once you've selected
a venue, click the
'details' button to
see each week's points
results. The details
button pops open a
new window that details
each week and the
points earned over
each week. One point
of interest on the
details button, if
you have a pop-up-blocker
installed in your
toolbar, hold
down the CTRL key
when you click the
'details' button.
This tells your pop-up
blocker to allow the
weekly results page
to open up.
What
if my points are wrong?
This most likely means
that your name was
typed into the database
slightly different
for different tournaments.
Please take a few
minutes to scan through
the leaderboards in
the venues you play
at, and try to locate
where you think there
is an error. Look
for two different
variations of your
name or mispellings.
Carl / Karl for example;
If you notice your
name in the leaderboard
list twice, please
make a note of which
venue, which names
(both the correct
and the mispelling),
the ranks of both
names. Also be sure
you note which name
is correct.
You can also send
an email to support@atlantapokerclub.com
if you do not wish
to post in the forum.

do I become a member

Club?

way you would like

Poker Club online

steps.
