Vermont Poker League

The Sports Legends event on Friday May 16th has been rescheduled to Saturday May 24th.

The Candeleros event on Sunday May 11th has been rescheduled to Sunday May 18th at 3pm.

Alright folks, it’s time to start planning our Summer Season 2008. And for that we all need something to play for. There’s been some discussion about moving away from the one large prize at the end of the season once the World Series of Poker has passed and we may have a solution.

We have been talking with our “local”, as they are, casinos and one of the ideas that has come up is to play out our regular Tournament of Champions down to 6 to 10 players and those are you winners. What do they win? Each player gets a trip to a local casino (to be determined out of Foxwoods, Turning Stone or Mohegan Sun) with overnight accommodations, food coupons and a buy-in to a single table tournament where we will crown our Season champion and the top 2-4 players win cash prizes in addition to the trip.

Choices for the “1 Big Prize” option are the Borgata Poker Open, a World Poker Tour Event in Atlantic City, NJ during September and the standard favorite, the Foxwoods Saturday $500 tournament.

The next Premium Member Freeroll on Full Tilt Poker will be on May 10th at 7:00pm EST. If you have not received your tournament information and password yet, it is because we either do not have your email address or it is incorrect. Please email info@vermontpokerleague.com with your Vermont Poker League membership number and we’ll get the information right out to you.

The Tournament of Champions for the current Spring 2008 Season will again be held at Sports Legends at the Diamond Run Mall in Rutland, VT on Saturday May 31st.

The tournament will start at 1pm with registration starting at 12 noon.
