Notes from the Commish

Greetings all,

We are working on getting everything ready for our 2026 Gem State Poker League. I want to make you aware that we have a few new things we are working on. Below is most of it as there are still a few moving parts.

Website: Yes, Michael has been working on putting a website together for our league. It's close to being done and once we have it all finished, we will send you out a link to the site. Our intensions is for the website to contain all of our league schedules, results, next tourney, anything that is informative and fun for us all in the league.

League Fee is increasing to $130. We are adding mini games that will take place during each tournament. Bad beat, Bounties, Certain hands winning, etc. The $30 increase will be used to fund these mini game payouts.

Please help us all out by bringing correct change to the 1st tournament. We will be handling a lot of money and want to make sure we are organized for it. You can help by bringing correct change the first night. You should come with $130 for league fee and $30 for that tournament. Please attempt to bring correct change on both.

Each tournament entry will remain at $30.

FIRST TOURNAMENT IS FRIDAY, JANUARY 30TH.

We have added a fun debauchery tournament for July 10th. This tournament will award no points for the league standings. We wanted to have one fun tournament that everyone could play without thinking they need to grind for every position. More to come on this as it gets developed.

Championship Tournament Date: October 2, 2026. SAVE THIS DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR NOW. You do not want to miss this one as this is our league championship tournament.

Please confirm for me that you are back for the 2026 Gem State Poker League. I have heard from some of you but if you're on the following list, please confirm your back for 2026. Becky, Brian H, Bruce, Eric, Jason, Jeremy, Josh, Justin, Kelly, Mike H, Shawn Everyone else I have heard from.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, Robert
