Poker league point system

Running a season with your crew? Pick how points are given and see what every finishing place is worth. Simple enough to do at the table, fair enough that nobody argues.

The three systems

• Top 5: 10-7-5-3-1. The classic. Easy to remember, and only the top five score. Best when the same people show up every time.
• Everyone scores. Last place gets 1, each place above gets one more. With 8 players the winner gets 8. Nobody walks away with zero.
• Bigger nights count more. Points grow with the number of players, so beating 10 people is worth more than beating 4. Fair when attendance changes a lot.

Running the season

• Decide the system before the first night and don't change it mid-season.
• Eight to twelve nights is a good season length.
• Ties on points: whoever has more wins, then more top-three finishes.
• A final table for the top players makes the last night worth showing up for.

Let the app keep the table

Holy Chip keeps your season table for you: finishing places are recorded when the night closes, points are added up with your own table (10-7-5-3-1 by default, or edit it), and everyone sees the standings on their phone.
