Silver Coin Venue - Bottom of the Cup
Starting on Tuesday, September 2nd, the Bottom of the Cup will be hosting the first ever “Silver Coin Invitational”. This tournament is reserved for Atlanta Poker Club members who have earned a “Silver Coin” from past accomplishments with the APC.
This venue will take place on Tuesdays at 7:30 at Bottom of the Cup Golf in Braselton.
To be eligible to play in this event you need to:
- Place 1st or 2nd in the Speed Tourney(s) that take place at 6:30pm (ALL APC’ers welcome to try their luck in these tournaments).
- Earned a coin from the APC from either a Venue Championship, Venue Points Championship, Season Points Championship, Seasonal Championship Allstar Championship or winner of special large event such as the WSOP Quad 4’s / Jeffreys Challenge etc.
- To those without coins - there will be a way where you can win a seat in this tournament. There will be two speed tournaments started at 6:30 and the top 2 from each 1 table tournament get a seat in the Silver Coin event. That means 4 non coin holders can play, regardless of whether or not you earned a silver coin in the past.
Here is the current list of qualified players as best as can be recalled from the history of the APC. If you have won a coin (or a championship) and your name is not on the list, please visit this thread in the forum to add your name.

Quad 4 Minis - Win $500 Every Month!
After taking a season to listen to and digest feedback from our players and evaluate our yearly league challenges and league structure we are proud to announce a slightly modified league structure starting Season 15 (August 25th).
The players have spoken and we have listened! Starting in Season 15, (begins on August 25th 2008), all Atlanta Poker Club members will now be competing to play for $500 in cash every four weeks in what we are calling the “Quad Four Monthly Mini’s”
Don’t worry, we’re still doing our seasonal league points race and Grand Championships as usual, but instead of competing for satellite seats into the WSOP, you can compete to win cold hard cash every single month, all year long.
How it works:
The top 60 in points during the specific “Quad 4 Mini” qualify for an invitation only tournament that happens the following Saturday afternoon. This tournament is called the Quad Four Mini and you compete for $500 of cold hard cash against your fellow top points earners during that four week stretch of time. This tournament also qualifies you for the NEW yearly challenge if you win.
- 1st place wins $350 + seat in the NEW yearly challenge (details).
- 2nd wins $100
- 3rd wins $50
Important: Seasonal points accumulate as normal, with the overall season points races happening just the same as before. It is for this promotion where the points will ‘reset’ every four weeks. So if you have done horribly the first half of the season, you can still compete in, and win a shot to win the monthly $500 every four weeks.
You can keep up with the Quad Four Mini’s points race with a link below the main points leaderboard.

APC Ring Game Simulation at Bottom of the Cup Golf
APC Cash Game Night Simulation
*please note that there is absolutely NO GAMBLING of any kind allowed and this is ONLY for points which have NO monetary value.
Details: Ring Game simulation. - Timed event non-tourney style event. Blinds never raise the goals is not to be the last player with the chips, but to accumulate as many chips as possible in the time alloted. Essentially this is just like playing a ring game at a casino (2/5 no limit)
Points will be tracked on a TOTALLY SEPERATE leaderboard than the normal APC Tournament Leaderoboard. These Ring Game points will not affect your tournament points in any way, shape or fashion since this is a TOTALLY NEW way to play poker for points with the Atlanta Poker Club.
The points system is easy: 1 chip = 1 point.
When you get chips from the TD you have a NEGATIVE point number given to you.
When you turn your chips in to the TD at the end you have a POSITIVE point amount given to you.
The difference in chips at the end of the night is your points earned or lost.
*remember, this is totally seperate from the normal APC leaderboard, points won or lost here DO NOT affect your normal APC points and is kept totally seperate from normal APC tournament points.
For example:
I go to Bottom of the Cup on opening night, Tuesday July 29nd. The TD gives me 300 chips to play with. The TD notes my name and name on the sign in form. Jason Spry, 300 chips. At the end of the night the chips are counted and your points are calculated on the spot. In this example my total chip count is now up to 450 chips, or 150 more than what I started with.
The TD notes my total positive chip count of 450 and my total negative chip count of 300 which leaves me + 150 chips or positive 150 points. My points will be recorded as 150 points for the night. (again, on a seperate leaderboard).
The following week I play and lose my first 300 chips before the break and get 300 more after break time and lose it as well for a -600 points. My overall points now is 150 - 600 for a total points of negative 450 (-450).
Chips have absolutely no monetary value at all, they are free and they are only for points.
Ring Game Structure
Blinds are 2 / 5
Starting Chips: 300 Chips to Start
Bet amounts must be in multiples of 5.
Play for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Take First Break - Those who have busted out already can get an additional 300 chips. Those below 300 chips can be topped off to 300. Remember these extra chips count against your point total.
Blinds Never Increase
7:30 Start Time
11:30 Finish Time
The first 2/5 No Limit Ring Game Simulation starts on Tuesday, July 29th at 7:30 PM. Registration starts 1 hour earlier. The first 40 people to register are eligible to play! Interested? Learn more and discuss this in the forum.
You are free to come and play at any point in the evening, so come on out and have some fun!
