College Poker Tour, Scottsdale

The College Poker Tour, the first-ever intercollegiate poker league, gathers undergraduate card sharks for a full season and postseason of online play. Players can represent themselves or their team in daily, weekly, and invitational online tournaments, inching their way up the rankings with each win and a step closer to a $10,000 first-place prize.

Though the competition is serious, so is the league's commitment to having fun. Players meet other college students in the laid-back, non-gambling environment, and can also socialize at practice tables outside of league play. The league allows players to participate in daily games for prizes, or challenge themselves against top-rated players to vie for the national title, tuition dollars, and prize packages.
