Merry Men in League XV

For the League's fifteenth venture, we're forming a band of merry men by giving away two free seats into the recently announced Black Belt Nottingham Live II, including an exclusive package for the overall champion.

Set to return to the Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club on August 10-12, Nottingham Live will once again see players battle it out across the live felt for the paltry price of $200+20, with the usual array of bounties, bonuses and added value.

But before you reach for that cyber wallet, however - we're offering you a bargain-bucket route to the East Midlands with our latest Black Belt Poker League, spanning eight legs starting from 19:30, Tuesday, May 22.

The eventual champion in the final standings will receive accomodation, travel expenses, and free entry into the Main Event, as well as a personalised Black Belt Poker hoodie and those all-important bragging rights.

Meanwhile, the remaining top 10 will win satellite tokens and Belt Points, whilst all leg winners will be automatically entered into a Second Chance SNG to compete for a second Nottingham Live seat. In addition, anyone who participates in every leg will earn a loyalty bonus of 200 Belt Points.

The event will appear in the lobby under Scheduled > Black Belt Tournaments and costs $5+0.50 to enter. You can also buy in using Spending Points by purchasing a token in the Black Belt Poker Store.
Points for each leg will be awarded in reverse order, so that in a 50-runner event, 50th would earn 1 point, and 1st 50 points. The top 10 finishers per leg receive the following additional points:

1st          25 Points
2nd         18 Points
3rd          15 Points
4th          12 Points
5th          10 Points
6th          08 Points
7th          06 Points
8th          04 Points
9th          02 Points
10th        01 Point

Prizes will be awarded as follows:
1st         Nottingham Live Package & Personalised Hoodie
2nd        1,000 Belt Points & $30+3 Nottingham Live satellite token
3rd         800 Belt Points & $30+3 Nottingham Live satellite token
4th         700 Belt Points & $15+1.50 Nottingham Live satellite token
5th         600 Belt Points & $15+1.50 Nottingham Live satellite token
6th         500 Belt Points & $5+0.50 Nottingham Live satellite token
7th         400 Belt Points & $5+0.50 Nottingham Live satellite token
8th         300 Belt Points & $5+0.50 Nottingham Live satellite token
9th         200 Belt Points & $5+0.50 Nottingham Live satellite token
10th       100 Belt Points & $5+0.50 Nottingham Live satellite token
Last time, Orange Belt Craig McKelvie became the newest League winner when he took down the fourteenth League to date. As a result, he got to participate in our inaugural $250+25 Samurai on May 3 where he finished a credible 12th place. First prize paid $4,480.

Tom Drew and Adam Saunders have both done it twice, but next time - as the giant blue finger would say - it could be you...
