Cash Game League Final

PLAY-OFF FINAL – SATURDAY 25th MARCH, 2023 8:00pm

40 hours needed to qualify

€300 will be taken from the prize pool – €200 for the player with the most hours, €100 for the runner up

  • Qualifying players must play the Final themselves – they cannot choose someone else to play on their behalf

  • The League Final will be played out as a cash game:
    • Finalists will have the option to take 50% of their funds from the prize pool in cash (with the remaining 50% staked in the Final)
    • Qualifying players will receive cash chips proportionate to the number of hours they have played (subject to them taking 50% in cash as above)
    • Players must play for a minimum of 2 hours or until they lose their chips (players can rebuy into the game if they wish. In this case, they can leave before the 2-hour period is over)
    • The cash game will be rake-free for a period of 2 hours from the start of the game
    • The cash game will be open to qualifying players only until the rake-free period is over
    • Blinds in the Final will be €1 – €2 with optional €5

Absent players (those who do not attend the Final):

  • 50% of their funds will be kept for them in the cash desk which they can collect at their leisure
  • The remainder of their funds will placed on the tables at the start of the game. They will not be dealt in, but will be blinded off at the rate of one big blind per round for the first half hour and then every hand for the remaining half hour
  • At the end of the hour their chips will be removed and divided as equally as possible amongst all playing qualifying league players present in the club at this time. (If they have lost their league chips and are present, they will be entitled to a share)

Missing Players (those who attend the Final but are missing from the game):

  • Players who do attend the Final but are missing from the game will follow the same rules as above for the full two-hour period
  • They will not be entitled to a share of the Absent Players’ monies if they are not present in the game
  • At the end of the two-hour period the blinding off from their stacks will cease and if they have been absent for more than thirty minutes their seats will be offered to any waiting non-league players
  • Any remaining chips owned by missing players, after the two-hour period is over, will be removed from the game and can be collected by them upon their return

Making the game as full as possible:

  • If there is more than one table of qualifiers and the number of Absent Players allow for us to make one full table, we will do so and the blinds for the Absent Players will be fed into pots as described above

Non-league players joining the games:

  • Non-league players may join the games after the two-hour period and, in the event of there being more than one game, league players will be given choice of which table they wish to play at before non-league players.
