The Coach House Poker League Rules
25th August 2011
General Rules & Info
· Seating positions will be drawn on the night. Since there is no designated dealers, a draw will be made at each table to determine the first dealer (highest card deals first)
· Any players who are not comfortable with dealing/shuffling can ask somebody else at the table to deal on their behalf, although they would still be classed as the dealer on that hand.
· There will be cash prizes each week, as well as league points to the top 10 places as follows:

· Any player not adhering to the rules or general etiquette will be liable to punishment from the poker referee.

· The poker referee may call a short break at any time to remove any value chips when they are no longer necessary
Prizes
· The top 3 places are guaranteed a cash prize - to be worked out on the night (more players + top-ups + re-buys = higher cash prizes) – additional cash prizes may be available depending on the total pot

· Minimum 10% of the weekly pot will be put aside for the final table prize
