World Tavern Poker
Your friends are out of town, and you can't get your weekly game in? No problem! Just The Chips has the answer!
Just head on over to the your local tavern and participate in the World Tavern Poker Tour!
"The World Tavern Poker Tour 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, and the top players from each Tavern Championship qualify for the City (area) Championship."
The rules are pretty simple, and the biggest rule of all seems to be:
"No Gambling
This rule is taken very seriously. Any Tavern or Player caught wagering cash, property or anything of value will immediately be terminated from the league.
NO EXCEPTIONS!"
Poker with no gambling? Is that even fun? As it turns out, yes. Players enjoy the thrill of the game, and the challenge of competing with each other for the bragging rights of winning, as well as for small prizes like t-shirts, hats, and of course, beer.
Those players who do well enough, move up in the tournament rankings and can compete for even bigger prizes.
Now's the time to consider joining a league so you can compete in next year's championships! Take part in the fun at you local tavern now! It looks like we're already nearing the end of the season, but thats no reason not to try and join in the fun for next year!
