A season is four things and then it runs itself

Create a season, choose how it scores, attach your sessions to it. The standings recalculate every time a session ends.

  1. Create the season.Name it, and optionally reserve a few dollars from each night to build a prize pool for the winner.
  2. Choose what it rewards.Any combination of the nine rules below, each configured to your league.
  3. Attach your nights.Link a session to the season when you create it. Tournaments, cash games, or both.
  4. Crown a champion.Finalize the season and the prize pool pays out down the standings.

Turning up is worth a point. Over twenty-two weeks that is the difference between a league and a series of unrelated poker nights.

Standings your players can actually see

Every season gets a public link. Send it once and your group can check where they stand from a phone, with no account, no app, and no invite.

One link, always current

Send it at the start of the season and it keeps up on its own.

No account, no app

Opens on any phone. Only the person running the league signs up.

The rules travel with it

Players can read how the points were awarded, not just the totals.

Public poker league standings page showing season leaderboard and prize pool, shared with players without an account

The page shows the leaderboard and the rules it was scored under, so nobody has to take your word for the points.

Every night shows what it was worth

Share a single night and its link carries the season with it: the points each player earned that evening, and which rules earned them.

Per player

What each person at the table earned that evening.

Per rule

Which rules paid out, not just a total nobody can check.

Back to the season

The same page links through to the full standings.

Public poker session page showing the season points each player earned that night, broken down by scoring rule

Nobody has to wait for the standings to update to find out what a night was worth, and the arithmetic is on the page rather than in your head.

Cash nights count too

Each rule applies to tournaments, cash games, or both, so a league that plays a mix scores both without two separate tables.

In a cash game "cashing" means finishing the night up.

A pot for the season

Reserve an amount from each night and it accumulates into a season prize pool, held out of that night's payouts automatically.

When you finalize, split it down the standings by percentage or exact amounts.

More than one league

A club can run seasons back to back, and a completed season keeps its final standings and its public link.

Premium clubs are unlimited, so a separate group means a separate club.

Better than the spreadsheet

A spreadsheet

  • Someone retypes last night's results on Friday
  • The formula breaks when a week has nine players instead of fourteen
  • One person has the file, everyone else asks
  • Changing the scoring means rebuilding every past week

A season

  • The night you already recorded is the input
  • Rules apply to whoever turned up, whatever the field
  • A link anyone can open
  • Change a rule and every week recalculates

The scoring is a property of the season, not of the file, so the standings cannot disagree with the results they came from.

Common questions

How do I run a poker league?

Decide how many nights the season runs, agree on how points are awarded, and keep one record of every night that everyone can see. The scoring matters less than picking it before the season starts and not changing it halfway. In PokerNite a season holds the rules, the sessions attached to it, and the standings those produce.

How does poker league scoring work?

Most leagues award points by finishing position, often with a point for turning up so regulars are not overtaken by someone who played twice and won both. PokerNite has nine rule types you can combine: podium points, in the money, attendance, one bullet, comeback kid, bounty hunter, session MVP, ROI king, and win streak. Each is configured with your own point values.

Can I run a poker league with both cash games and tournaments?

Yes. Every scoring rule is set to apply to tournaments, cash games, or both, so one season can score a mixed schedule. In a cash game, finishing the night ahead counts as cashing, and placement is ranked by what each player won.

Do my players need accounts to see the standings?

No. Each season has a public link showing the leaderboard and the rules it was scored under. Anyone with the link opens it on a phone without signing up. Only the person running the league needs an account.

How do I score a league where some nights have more players?

Award points for attendance and for cashing, not for finishing position alone. A fourteen-player night pays more places than a nine-player one, so placement points on their own quietly reward whoever played the busiest weeks. Combining placement with a flat attendance point keeps a regular who never wins ahead of someone who showed up twice.

Is PokerNite's league manager free?

Seasons are part of Premium, which is $7.99 CAD a month. A free account covers one poker club with unlimited tournament and cash sessions, your player list, blind structures, the timer, and a public results link for every night. Premium adds season standings, unlimited clubs, auto-generated payouts, settle-up ledgers, club accounting, and reports.

Can I run more than one poker league?

Yes. A club can run one season after another, and each keeps its own rules, standings, and public link once it is complete. For groups that do not overlap, give each its own club: Premium clubs are unlimited, and players and history stay separate between them.

What happens if I change the scoring mid-season?

The whole season recalculates from the sessions already attached to it. Points are derived from the results rather than stored as a running tally, so adding a rule in week ten applies it to weeks one through nine as well. That is usually what you want, and it is worth telling your group before you do it.
