FREE CHARITY POKER TOURNAMENTS NIGHTLY!!!

Texas Hold'em Tournaments and Sit-n-Go's

HOW IT WORKS

 

FREE Tournaments

     There is NO ENTRY FEE, no gambling, no personal side bets and/or no cash bounties allowed.  Our chips have no cash value.

     Each night listed on the Daily Schedule, there will be a Main Event Tournament at the location listed.  Each Main Event Tournament is a multi-table, single elimination tournament, with prizes awarded at the end on each tournament.  

     It is expected that all entrants are familiar with the game of No-Limit Hold'em. Rules and tournament decisions will be based on Robert's Rules of Poker.  If a discrepancy exists between Robert's Rules of Poker and the rules listed here, then the rules listed here take precedence.  If a rules dispute occurs during play, the tournament Pitt Boss shall have final authority.  

     The number of winners, and the value of prizes, is determined by the number of players in the Main Event.  In addition to the prizes awarded at each Main Event Tournament, Xtreme Poker Tour uses a points system to track players' eligilibility for Monthly and Season-End Main Event Tournaments.

 

Show up and Sign Up:

     Pick a night at a bar near you, show up, find the tournament Pit Boss, sign up, and take your seat.

     Upon signing up for the first time you play, you will be given an Xtreme Poker Tour Chip, with an ID number.   You will need to keep and remember this number, as it is how we keep track of players eligible for finals tournaments

     Returning players; please remember to find the tournament Pit Boss and sign-in upon arrival to ensure yourself a seat.  Those arriving late, or those signed in after all available tables have been filled will be listed as an Alternate.

     The bar pays for us to be there so you can play for free, so no outside food or drinks allowed inside the bar.  Please remember to tip your waiter/waitress!

 
 

 

Your Dealers:

     Each and every one of our Nightly Main Event Tournaments have actual Dealers.

Please respect your dealer and their ability to deal.  
They have been doing this a while, and know their jobs.

     Please do not splash the pot, call out hands or help with the dividing and/or making of side pots.  Please do not react to the flop/turn/river after you have folded your hand. If you are guilty of any of the that, you may be sent to the rail for 10 minutes or more.

500 Chips

     Each player seated at the published start time will begin the tournament with a 700 count chip stack.

     Alternates who arrive BEFORE the published start time will also begin the tournament with a 700 count ship stack.

     Alternates who arrive AFTER the published start time, and within the first hour of play will start with 500 chips.  No one may enter the tournament after the first (2) rounds are complete.

 

 
     
 


Points:

     For each Nightly Main Event Tournament, each player that makes it to The Final Table (final 10 players) will receive Xtreme Poker Tour Points.  If you make an appearance at the Final Table, you are responsible for signing the Points Winners Sheet with the Pit Boss after you are knocked out of the tournament.

IF YOU DO NOT SIGN THIS SHEET,
YOU DO NOT GET YOUR POINTS.

     Points records are kept on both the monthly level, as well as for the season.  Points accumulated are used to determine who is eligible to enter both the Monthly and the End of Season Tournaments.  You can earn points at any of the regularly scheduled tournaments listed.
