FRIDAY NIGHT POKER LEAGUE (FNPL)
The 2018 Friday Night Poker League will meet one Friday a month, plus one extra Friday in each quarter: January through December (see schedule below). Each event will be run as a separate tournament, with the top four places paid. Players will also earn league points by playing the tournaments and by making the final tables. The top three point holders at the end of the year will be awarded additional money after the final tournament: $900 / $400 / $200, respectively. (Click on the link at the bottom of the page for player point standings. Point standings will be updated/posted quarterly.)
Here's how it will work...
Buy-ins for each event will be $50, and players will get 10,000 in chips. (There will be a $5 add-on for 3,000 more in chips - only if you arrive before the start of the tournament.) Unlimited re-buys
for $50 each will be allowed up to the end of the second blind, and
players will get $7,500 in chips with each re-buy (and 3/4 the points for those who place). There will be a one-time $10 registration fee at the start of the year to cover the cost of cards and the food for the end-of-year party. Blinds will be 40 minutes long for the first one, then 30 minutes each thereafter. There will be an optional Best-Hand pool for $5. Each regularly-scheduled event (monthly or quarterly) pays the top four places: 1st = 65%, 2nd = 25%, 3rd = 10%, 4th = $50.
Each event, $100 from the monies collected will be set aside for the Players of the Year fund (for the additional money awards described above for the top three point holders, and to provide the trophy awarded to the overall point leader).
Point structure: Each player will get one point for each event played in the year. Players may have substitutes play for them, but not for more than four times per year. If no substitute is used, the player will get zero points for any absences. There will be an extra "second chance" tournament in each quarter, which all players can use to replace their lowest point score earned in that quarter. Also, the top ten placers for each tournament will get the following:
