Players who simply can't get enough poker have the chance to compete in the richest leader board competition.

Each season 888Poker League gives away $2000 to the best of the best in the state.

The state leader board is all about consistency rewarding the top 10 averages across the state. To compete for your share of the $2000 bounty simply play 15 tournaments in any given season and you qualify for an average. Your average is then calculated from your best 15 games which means if you keep playing you will keep improving your average!

Finish in the top 50 on the state leader board and you also qualify for the Foundation Semi Final. (Note: Qualification for the state final is taken from the state leader board first and the venue second providing an opportunity for the 6th-10th place finishers in a venue to qualify under the right circumstances).

The state leader board is split using the following break down:

1st - $1,000
2nd - $600
3rd - $400



WTF!!!!?????

How did that happen. This is the Away Leader Board. Not the State Leader Board.

Interesting!

Well I have been going on that info thinking that all I need to do is finish top 50 for foundation entry.

I also been uner the impression that both online and offline games "best 15 tournaments" combine for this leaderbaord.

That's really what that promo is suggesting.

Ah ambiguous promotional material that was written before technology caught up.

You also need to play 15 away games for any final qualification as well.

benny the cunt that's what I read the above as meaning.

All this really needs to be put somewhere on the website. If it weren't for the forum - I would have made a lot of clearly wrong assumptions.

Sorry not 15 games.

Ten away games must be played to qualify for any finals.
That way we ensure our venues are still supported at a minimum.
