What is World Tavern Poker? |
| |
World Tavern Poker is a Nationwide Poker League where you will be competing during the season in Tournament Style Poker Events at your local tavern. The top 20 players in each tournament receive points and are ranked at the Tavern, Regional and National Levels.
At the end of the season, the top players at each tavern qualify for the Tavern Championship. Then the top players from each Tavern Championship qualify for the City (area) Championship.
|
|
What is the Format? |
| |
Each No-Limit Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament is comprised of 10 to Hundreds of players where you will be playing until one man or woman is left standing.
|
|
What is the Buy-In? |
| |
There are NEVER ANY BUY-INS or any gambling taking place at World Tavern Poker events. We take this very seriously, and any Player or Tavern who is caught gambling will be immediately eliminated from the league.
