In a nutshell, Poker League Software is a points
management tool designed to make the tedious process
of points tracking, tallying and leaderboard creation
into a quick and efficient process.
Here is an example of the leaderboard that is
displayed on your website (OR on our website if
you don't have one).

Poker
League Software is NOT like other poker tournament
managers you have seen!
Poker League Software (PLS) is not
like the other poker league managers you've
seen. PLS is NOT a blind timer; it's not going to
tell you when to raise your blinds. Nor Is it not
a tournament clock or a seating chart or of any
kind.
Those other tournament managers are certainly useful
on their own, but they do not solve one key problem.
PLS takes a completely
different approach - making the points management
and league results display quick, easy and efficient.
Successful Poker Leagues know one little
secret that makes their league popular
and keeps players coming back to their website time
and time (and time) again.
That one little secret? 
This one little secret is so
valuable that it can can make you
or break you in operating a poker league?
This le secret is what seperates
successful leagues from ones that flounder and never
get off the ground.
This little secret is the underlying premise
behind Poker League Software.
Don't worry, we will not share your information
with anyone and we do not spam. Filling out the
above information gets you a more information
email that has login information so you can set
up a practice league and play around with the
software.
Now, back to that little secret.
The secret:
 Poker
Leagues with a widely visable and updated
points race is a huge motivator
for league members!
Players want to see points, they want to see them
right away, and they want to know that everyone
else see's them, too. An active points
race is key to consistently bringing
in a large number of players time and time again.
While most players enjoy the individual challenge
of a poker tournament and the prize for 1st place,
but if you are operating a poker league, players
are much more likely to come out and play on a
night where they might not have normally done
so if there is an active points race!
So how to you cultivate an active points race?
Answer: Have a widely visible leaderboard that
is accurate and up to date.
 For
example,
You start a bar poker league in your local town.
You visit three pub managers at a few local bars
and talk to them about the extra customers that
will visit their location to play in a poker tournament
that you put on.
The manager each agree to to hold one tournament
per week for four weeks each and they agree to
pay you similarly to the trivia night karaoke
DJ.
Your job is to bring in a bunch of players who
wouldn't normally be there and allow the establishment
sell food and drinks to patrons who are there
to enjoy the poker tournament.
Your venues are "Bud's Bar and Grill"
on Mondays, Wild Willy's on Wednesdays and Uncle
Buck's Barbeque on Saturdays.
Remembering that the one secret that successful
poker leagues know is that an active points race
is a huge motivating factor for league members,
want a points race for each venue
as well as an overall points
race.
You have 3 venue points races and one overall
points race to promote to your league members.
You need the following leaderboards:
1. Individual venue leaderboard for Bud's on Mondays
2. Individual venue leaderboard for Wild Willy's
on Wednesday
3. Individual venue leaderboard for Bucks on Saturday
4. Combined overall leaderboard tallying points
across all venues.
The individual leaderboards track the results
at each venue. The overall leaderboard is the
combined total points for each player at all of
your venues.
Poker League Software automatically
saves and tallys your league results and creates
all of your leaderboards in one step! Play
your tournament, enter results and hit save.
Results are saved, points are tallied and the
leaderboard is updated all at once.
An interactive leaderboard for your poker league
is created and updated to your website. Your scores
are automatically tallied and results posted in
a widely visiable league resource.
The same thing is true for poker affiliates who
are running an online poker league and trying
to recruit players to join. If you are running
a poker league at Bodog
Life then you are going to have to have a
leaderboard to keep your players interested!
You might be saying
- Doesn't EXCEL do all of that?
"I can track points myself using Excel or
Word, right?"
You are absolutely 100%
correct. -- You can manually track your
points by entering everything into an excel spreadsheet,
using formulas and good old fashioned addition
to update your points.
It is possible, but it isn't efficient.
The Atlanta Poker Club, tracked their poker league
points manually
using excel for over two years.
Here is what they have to say about the software
and they were instrumental in the development
of the software into what it is today.
Poker
League Software saves you time and money!
"For the past two and a half years
I've literally wasted 8-10 hours
every week managing our poker league points
and leaderboard.
Now updating points takes less than
2 minutes per day...I can access
everything online from the easy to use PLS
admin console - which helps greatly when I'm
on the road.
Plus, our players absolutely love having the
leaderboard updated immediatey following a
tournament, instead of days after the fact.
Before, we would already be 3 to 4 days behind
whenever I updated the points... today we're
up to date.
We've wanted this software since we started
our league, but before now it simply wasn't
available.
If you run a poker league you should order
PLS right now.

So yes, you can do all of this the old fashioned
way but we believe that you will agree that your
time is better spent promoting and growing your
league rather than "doing the points."
Poker League Software grows with you as you grow,
add venues, seasons, events etc... as you need.
Poker League Software handles it all, all
in one step. You only enter a tournament
result one time and the PLS database does the rest.
A dynamic and interactive leaderboard is created
and automatically displayed on your website.
League members visit your website to check the leaderboard
and your sponsors and advertisers get exposure to
your league, and you have a great medium to communicate
to league members.
SAY GOODBYE TO EXCEL!

up however you need to set your league up, quick
and easy.
Poker
League Software vs other Poker League Managers
You've probably looked around at some of the other
poker
league management tools on the net. We certainly
did. They didn't look very user friendly and they
didn't really do what we wanted anyway (manage
points / display leaderboard).
Most of those poker league managers were really
tournament managers, telling you how to seat players
and when to raise blinds. The APC had virtually
no use for that, but they did need something to
manage points and display a leaderboard for players
to see. They needed a points management solution.
Poker League Software requires no downloads,
all it requires is access to the internet and
a login / password..
Once you log in, it is easy to both create your
initial league set up / points system as well
as enter your event results. It takes a one step
process to get the leaderboard to display on your
website.
PLS saves huge amounts of time if you operate
a poker league. Hit 'save' once you enter your
results and you are done.
League setup is a one time thing (you can make
adjustments) but once you set up your league settings
and your scoring systems it is a breeze to enter
tournament results.
Once you enter the results, your leaderboard is
updated instantly on your website.
League members can instantly visit your website
and view the updated leaderboard as well as look
through detailed results from previous league
events. The current points race is displayed and
history for your league
is created.

League Software - a no brainer.
"Now that we use Poker League Software,
our tournament directors fill out one simple
online form. It takes about a minute to complete
per venue. When all the information is input,
they hit a buttton and points are tracked,
tallied and the leaderboard is updated automatically
on our website.
When we were using excel, we had
to get the results from the tournament director,
type the results into excel, sort the results,
update the results, merge the files and fix
any errors like a player name mispelling or
typo, save the new file and re-upload the
results to the web and change any necessary
links.
We had to do that for every
venue, every tournament,
every week. Then we
had to combine every venue for an overall
points race where we gave away our big prize.
It took forever and our leaderboards were
never up to date in real time.
Now,
it takes minutes! Which would you prefer?
It's one of the best investments we've made
for improving and growing our Texas
Holdem Poker league and website participation.
PLS is so easy to use and it saves so much
time and money that it pays for itself
time & time again. Plus, the leaderboard
page is one of the most heavily visited pages
on our website and an excellent opportunity
for advertising and promoting our
sponsors."

P.S. We will not talk about the time
the points got really screwed up using excel
and we had to just start it over from scratch
because it was easier than trying to straighten
out the mess we created in excel. No, we won't
mention that at all, because thats not good,
not good at all.

p.s. Almost everyone wants to know why this is
a free service that you can use on your own website.
The answer is because we now have a sponsor who
advertises two small and unobtrusive text links
wherever the leaderboard is displayed.
