Playr League changing
With 16 Playrs ready for the July Final, the International Playr League will undergo some changes now that the summer vacation is over for most people. It's obvious that the current concept with weekly tournaments is not the perfect way for the League. Instead we'll take the next few weeks to construct a new structure - including qualification tournaments in other games such as Omaha, Razz, Limit games and H.O.R.S.E. We hope these new initiatives will help bringing the IPL back up to previous popularity.
The July Final will be held on Sunday, August 10th and more info on that will follow.
