River Dogs Poker League Award Structure

Play with River Dogs Poker League (RDPL) and you can score paid seats to National Poker Events such as the World Series of Poker and other live events! The more you play, the more ways you can win! It all starts by becoming a league member and showing up to play at our regular league events in your city/region.

Get your name on our points-leader board for your city/region by coming out and playing in our regular league nights. Our current city/regions include Medford, Grants Pass, Eugene, Canyonville, Klamath Falls, Coos Bay/North Bend and Roseburg. You can find a complete list of venues and times in your city/region on our website www.riverdogpokerleague.com. When more players show up, competition is greater and you can earn more points!

In addition, there will be a consolation table that can be played each night. That table can be of any poker game that the players agree upon, but must be done in a limit structure. The player that has the most chips when final hand is complete will score 100 points and the second player will score 50 points.

PUSU Challenge Rules Changes

1) When there is a challenge that happens, BOTH games will be doubled (or tripled, read more below on that). Even if the trophy is won in the first game, the second game will still have the bonus due to the challenge.

2) If there is an Inter-Divisional challenge for the Trophy (ie, Grants Pass has the trophy and Eugene comes to challenge for it) it will make the challenge worth Triple Points. However, if the challengers are from the same division, then the challenge will be for double points.
