I plan to start a 15 game + 1 champion (16 games total) poker league, but I've never played in any and I wanted to find a template. 15 games (1 per week) = $5/game. Points awards for attendance, winning, etc. Weekly buy-in is constant. I'm open to suggestions on how to organize this, but I really don't know how to set up the final game.

4.Dealing
A. DEALER BUTTON. To begin play at the start of the tournament, the dealer will be the button.(The button determines who gets the first card, etc., and also determines the position of the “blinds”.) Any player can call time after 2 mins of time has elapsed.That player now had 50 seconds with a 10 second count down.
B. BLINDS. The person immediately to the left of the button will post the SMALL BLIND. The person immediately left of the small blind will post the BIG BLIND. See blind schedule. League will use the “Dead Button” rule if a player is knocked out in the blinds (see dead button rule diagram on website or host binder). “Straddles” are not allowed. C. A Player will volunteer to deal, and each tournament director will make sure that every player gets an equal share of dealing
D. THE DEAL. Starting with the small blind position, each player is dealt two cards, one at a time. Once betting action (see BETTING PROCEDURE) is over (pot is “right”), the dealer will then “burn” the top card on the deck, and turn up three consecutive cards (“Flop”). 2nd Betting Round. The dealer burns the next card before placing the 4th card (“Turn” or “ 4th Street”). 3rd Betting Round. The dealer burns the next card before placing the 5th card (“River” or “ 5th Street”). 4th & Final Betting Round.
E. HEADS UP. When only two players remain in the tournament, the player due to assume the Big Blind will do so, and the Small Blind will get the button. The Small Blind/Button will act first prior to the flop and last after the flop.
*All In hands must be tabled.
F. Common ErrorsProblemSolution 1 Dealer reveals burn card. Revealed card is shown to all players. Dealer then reveals the appropriate card. 2 Player (A) shows hand before player/s (B and/or C) has opportunity to act. Player (A) must play the rest of the hand with his/her cards exposed but can still win the pot and place bets. 3 Player acts (bets, calls, raises, re-raises, folds) out of turn. Player must wait until his/her turn. Action out of turn will be binding if action to that player has not changed. Checking, calling, and folding is not considered action changing. 4 Player shows hand, but fails to state his/her intention (call, fold) when it is his action at showdown. Player’s hand must state Call, Raise, or Fold imiediatly. Example: player A bets, player B shows hand must immediately state their intention, if they do not immediately state their action there will be a warning. 5 Dealer reveals “turn” or “river” card before action is complete. Exposed card is put back in deck (burn card would remain on table), action is completed, deck is reshuffled, cut and appropriate card is shown (no burn). 6 Card is dealt face-up or exposed. If exposed/face-up card is one of first 2 cards out of the deck, then it is a misdeal. Otherwise, continue dealing and give player with exposed card the burn card. Two exposed cards is a misdeal. 7 Player is dealt 3 or more cards If player has yet to act in the hand, then it is a misdeal. If player has already acted, then discover the error, their hand is dead.
5. Betting Procedure:
In No-Limit Texas Holden a player may bet any amount of his chip stack during the course of play.
Before the flop: The player to the immediate left of the Big Blind is first to act (call, raise, or fold). The minimum raise would be the amount of the big blind. However, a re-raise must be at least equal to the previous raise. Example – Blinds are 50/100, raise to 200, re-raise to 300 is OK.
After the flop: The player to the left of the dealer button is first to act for remaining betting rounds. The minimum bet is the amount of the big blind. Any raise or re-raise must be at least equal to the previous action (bet or raise).
At the end of last round of betting, the player who made the last aggressive action in that betting round must show first. If there was no bet, the player to the left of the button shows first and so on clockwise. Remaining players form the best 5-card poker hand with the best hand winning the pot. Players must show both cards in order to have a valid hand and win the pot (unless there were no callers). CARDS READ THEMSELVES. If there is a “split pot” with 1 extra chip remaining, that chip is awarded to the remaining player closest to the left of the dealer button. Verbal declarations as to the content of a player’s hand are not binding; however, any player deliberately miscalling his or her hand may be penalized. A single oversized chip will be considered a call if the player does not announce a raise. If a player puts an oversized chip into the pot and states raise but does not state the amount, the raise will be the maximum allowable up to the size of that chip. After the flop, an initial bet of a single oversized chip without comment will constitute the size of the bet. To make a raise with a single oversized chip a verbal declaration must be made before the chip hits the table surface. If a player puts in a raise of 50% or more of the previous bet but less than the minimum raise, he or she will be required to make a full raise. The raise will be exactly the minimum raise allowed. An all-in bet of less than a full raise does not reopen the betting to a player who has already acted.
If a player folds their hand, the cards must be placed in the muck pile and remain there. Players are not allowed to fish through the mucked cards. Cards thrown into the muck may be ruled dead. However, a hand that is clearly identifiable may be retrieved at the tournament host’s discretion is doing so is in the best interest of the game (ex..New player who is new to poker..It is a learning league, this is very rare, and might happen when the blinds are small) Dealers should always protect the muck pile
6.All In/Side Pots
If a player lacks sufficient chips for a blind or a forced bet, the player is entitled to get action on whatever amount of chips he has remaining. In this situation, a “side pot” could occur for players with remaining chips. The “All-in” player is only entitled to win the amount he has remaining from each player (even if one/both blinds are more than his all-in, the extra would be put in the “side pot”).
Whenever a player is ALL-IN and all betting action is complete, all hands in play will be turned face up. When a player loses all his/her chips, they are eliminated from play and must LEAVE the table. IN CASE OF A TIE: In the case where multiple players bust out on the same hand, the player with the most chips going into the hand will finish higher. In the RARE case that both players had the same amount of chips going into the hand, then the best poker hand will be the tiebreaker. In the EXTREMELY RARE case that both players had the same hand, the highest card in each player’s hand would be used, if a tie, it goes by position.
7.Combining Tables
As the tournament progresses, players will be eliminated. To keep tables balanced with the same number of players, the tournament host will be required to reseat players. For example, you have 3 full tables (10 people), but one table has only 6 players. You should move 1 person from each of the full tables to balance each table with 9 players. Continue to move players as needed while players are eliminated. Players should be moved to the “short table” according to position from the dealer button.
New players (reseated/broken table) are dealt in immediately unless they sit down in the small blind or button position. In these two cases they must wait until the button passes. If a new player is seated in the Big Blind position, the player must post the Big Blind and will be dealt in the hand, regardless of their previous position on their former table.
If a table is reseated and 50% or more of the players are new to the table, then seats should re-drawn and a 'high card' for the button immediately prior to resuming the session. The official time for the blind level should be paused during down time.
8. Misc Rules, and Poker etiquette:
Player’s cards & chips must remain on/above the table at all times, unless you are reassigned to another table. When moving to a new table, keep chips in plain view (not in pockets, etc.) Players must keep their higher denomination chips visible at all times.
One player per hand. You may NOT ask advice as to how to act during the action period. If you SHOW your cards to an ACTIVE player at the table, you must show all players immediately (Show one-show all). If you show your cards to a player that has already folded, you will be required to show your cards once the hand is completed. Any player at the table may request to see a hand that has been called (even if checked on river), even if the hand has been mucked. However, this is a privilege that may be revoked if abused. If the winning player asks to see a losing player’s hand, both hands are live, and the best hand wins.
No 'splashing' the pot. Players are to place their chips in front of themselves so everyone knows exactly how much they are betting.
No 'string bets'. A player must state their intentions (call, check or raise) before placing chips in front of them. Stating “Call and Raise” is considered a string bet. Remember, verbal action is always binding! Please act in a timely fashion as the blind levels are only 15 minutes. Any player at the table can call for “time” on a player once a reasonable amount of time has passed. The tournament host would then give 50 seconds to act. If action has not been taken before time expires, there will be a 10-second countdown. If a player has not acted by the time the countdown is over, the player’s hand will be dead.
No “Table Talk” about a hand still in play. Players/dealers should NOT talk about their hand (even if folded) if others are still playing. AFTER the hand is played out, let the moaning & groaning begin. J
9. Conduct/Warnings/Penalties:
Players are expected to conduct themselves with Poker Etiquette. Inappropriate behavior like throwing cards that go off the table or violating any league rule repeatedly may be penalized by the tournament host. Penalties will range from verbal warnings to “missed time” penalties. A severe infraction such as abusive or disruptive behavior or “chip dumping” may be punished by eviction from the tournament and possibly the league.
10. Leaving early/Absent Player
Absent players are always dealt in, if a player is not present for the hand when it is their turn to act, their hand is folded, even if they are in the big blind and there is not a raise. #1) Players must be physically present to take their seat and play at least one hand to be eligible for participation points. The league may disqualify players for participation points if it is clear they have no intention of playing #2) Players may NOT post & fold for a period of MORE than (2) full blind levels (in addition to the current level). If a player leaves the tournament and does not return within this time frame, their chips shall be removed and their position in the tournament forfeited. See #3 & #4
- #3) Any player who must withdraw from the tournament early should DECLARE they are leaving (alert the host to withdraw his/her chips). Participation points are still awarded. #4) If there is more than one table left, and a player has to leave, the player will be signed out at the next position, and then their bounty will be put into the next pot. Their chips will be divided with their table. There is no dividing chips a the final table.
#5 If any player who had to leave and the tournament is down to a final table, that player will be registered out as the next out with position with their bounty being thrown in to the pot of the next hand. If a player needs to leave and pushes all in excessively with no intention of playing to the end, chip dumping to another player will not be allowed. If the Tournament director feels a player is doing this, their chips will be removed with their bounty put in the middle for the next hand, and signed out at the next position.
