WHAT DID I SIGN? and WHAT DID I AGREE TO? and WHY DO YOU DO THIS?

1. We are a Members only League for a couple of reasons, but mostly because it allows us some flexabilities to do things for you our players that we couldn't accomplish otherwise.  Additionally, we will be having some Invitational tournaments in the future with bigger payouts and private fundraisers and charity events which we'd like to tell you about and we must be able to get a hold of you in some manner.  Phone # with text or Email is ideal.  Eventually when our new website gets completed, you'll be able to log in using your Player ID (FIRST 4 Letters of your Last Name + the LAST 4  numbers of your Primary Phone # as you indicated on sign up form)  then you can choose your own password and later make changes to your Player ID.

3.  Why do we do this?  Mostly explained in paragraph #1; additionally our intent is to develop and become the Best Poker League in Town.  That means to us, not neccessarily the largest (we will get there), but rather forming a community of Players that enjoy coming out, feel appreciated, make new friends, network, win prizes and recognition, but most of all everyone has a BLAST!   The membership form is a combination of a Player Agreement Contract where you agree to abide by our player rules, recognize a code of conduct both in Poker Etiquitte and Respecting your fellow players despite the numerous bad beats and bullshit play you will inevitably encounter in Free Poker Tournaments.  Also you are agreeing to or acknowledging State and Federal Gambling Laws which are important to us keeping our Entertainment company legal and continue providing good venues and prizes for you to play for.  We do occasionally take photos or video of the Events and will post those on our websites and other promotional materials.  Also, you or other players may rarely encounter unforseen events at a Drinking establishment where things get heated and possibly out of hand.  You are responsible for your own actions in any public place so you will hold us and the bar harmless in the case should something happen to you.  Remember, your job is to walk away, report an incident to the host, the bar manager or the authorities.  Never engage in a fight, or intervene in someone elses.
