How the league works
You can never lose by playing in the Quebec Poker Tournament League (QCPTL).
All the QCPTL tournaments are free. The only condition if you want to play in the tournaments organized in any of the QCPTL’s registered venues is to be 18 years old and have a league membership card. You can obtain a free membership card by registering online at www.qcptl.com or in one of our venues.

Every month, the statistics will be reset and will restart at zero on the first of every month. However, a cumulative score, by stage and by season will always be available.

So that all the points won at each tournament are tallied and that the number of tournaments played be counted, the interested players will have to register to the optional GPT scoring system, at an annual cost of $20.00 via the website or at a venue’s premises. The points and tournaments played will be tallied starting on the member’s registration date and will not be retroactive.
The role of the CPBBTQ is to ensure the control of each registered venue of the QCPTL. Gestion Poker Tour will be, in addition to making sure that its members are satisfied, ensure that during major events, the international rules are followed.
At the start of every tournament, the players will be solicited for a voluntary contribution of $2.00 maximum, which will help pay for the administration of the tournament and league.
Of course, a player who doesn’t wish to register to the optional GPT scoring system and who doesn’t participate in the voluntary contribution will still be accepted at each registered venue’s tournaments.
However, a player who doesn’t wish to register to the optional GPT scoring system, his points and tournaments played will not be tallied.
