Steelcity Poker League will be based upon a series of 4x Quarter Seasons consisting of 3 months. While it is acknowledged that not every Quarter will be equal it is a clean, fair way to split up the year.
- A League Prize Pool will be collected from each Tournament which will be $5/per player. This is apart from any costs associated with the game including Buy-In and Bounties and any side-games from each tournament / game played and is for the League itself. This will be set aside from the Tournament Prize Pool consisting of the Buy-Ins, Rebuys and Top-Ups.
- Each Season will be broken up into 4 Quarters. These will be named after the 4 Suits of the deck and run as Q1 Diamonds, Q2 Hearts, Q3 Clubs and Q4 Spades.In addition, Titles will be awarded to players who place in the top 3 of each Quarter as well as for the season as follows:

- 1st Place: 40%
- 2nd Place: 30%
- 3rd Place: 20%
The remaining 10% from each seasonal league fee will be set aside to cover the costs already incurred setting up the League (quality chips, website, etc.) as well as maintaining current equipment, hosting the website and maintaining it as well as future investments (purchasing a decent poker top to play on).
Note: This pot will be used by the League Director(s) at their discretion, without requiring approval or accountability. It is expected and acknowledged that running a League like this takes a lot of time and effort beyond simple man hours and this is reflected in this cut from potential profits.
There may be additional bonuses and awards given as these funds exceed the running costs and purchasing required to get it up and running at the discretion of the League Director(s).
All Tournaments played as part of the League will be counted.
