2022/2023 Championships
The Sun will continue to Rise!
As we climb back from the depths of a 2+ year span of having the live league shut down, regional championships postponed, and our casino partners operating on limited staff, we are excited to roll out our plan for the 2022 and 2023 Riverchasers and Bar Poker Open Poker Seasons.
The first update includes our regional invitational tournament open to all Bar Poker Open affiliated members and their guests, the HAMMER and ROCKET Tournaments. We are actively working with our casino partner to pick our “Welcome Back” event in 2022. The target dates will be in September 2022. Official details will be announced once the date, venue, and prize pool is finalized. Please take note as we “may” have to offer a different style of event as our seating capacities may be limited at the moment. If they are limited, we would modify the event from a freezeout to a re-entry, BUT we would discount the re-entry fees to help keep the FUN-LEVEL HIGH, and the cost-level low. More coming SOON!
Next, Riverchasers Satellite Tournaments and our Players Championship Tournament events are being combined. This was already in the works at the start of 2020 and was going to be announced in April at the end of our PCT Final. In the past, our PCT was our points-based championship event which evolved from our original TOC concept. This event was typically hosted at our casino property and provided our guests a world-class experience for the low cost of the dealer fees. Our Satellite Finals, were setup as the “Win and You’re In” events, offering players a semi-local Championship event every season that reward players with bonuses for winning additional events during the qualifying periods. The new Riverchasers Championship is going to be a combination of the Satellite and the PCT, rewarding players for both winning and climbing the points leaderboards. We want to keep the Championship “local”, but as we continue to expand our league, the term local doesn’t mean the same thing for everyone. So we are working on the best venue which can offer players the best experience for the price.
POSTPONED EVENTS - The Red & Black Satellite, and the previous PCT Season Final are STILL in the works to be hosted. We recently got the “thumbs up” to host a special event at our previous Satellite Final host venue, so we will be working with them to schedule a Day/Time that is best for as many as possible. The PCT Final, again previously hosted at Borgata, is also in the works. Once we have a confirmation that Borgata can host this event, we will reach out to all qualified players to confirm their attendance.
BAR POKER OPEN - 2022/2023 Season
As of this writing, the ink has not dried so we cannot officially announce our new EAST COAST CHAMPIONSHIP Venue, but the word on the street is that the host for the 2022 Fall event will take place in FLORIDA in November 2022. Unfortunately, our previous East Coast Championship partner, Borgata, is not ready just yet to host a major multi-day event with 1000+ players. As in previous years (pre-pandemic) players will begin qualifying for the 2022/2023 Championships now that our Vegas 2022 Championship has completed. All SEATS or PACKAGES won “may” be used at the Fall 2022 East Coast Championship or held on to for the Summer 2023 Vegas National Championship. The East Coast Championship for 2022 may develop into the largest Prize for the East Coast Championship in BPO History. We look forward to being a part of that success and bringing as many Riverchasers as possible for the Chase for the Crown!
As we finalize any details for any of these events, they will be posted immediately across all our platforms. Be sure that you are signed up for our newsletter to receive our important emails. We don’t send many, but what we do send is very important!
