Logs to your record · climbs the leaderboard
Free to play. We set the format once we see who’s here, then play games that count. No buy-in, no pot — every game logs to your record and moves you up the leaderboard. Competitive and structured, never cutthroat.
Who can play
Open to all — 3.5+ plays best.

Open play · 3.5+ suggested
Anyone can RSVP — it’s an open room that records every game. We suggest 3.5+, but that’s a soft signal of who the night plays best for, never a wall at the door. RSVP, show up, play.
Have a DUPR rating? Add it when you RSVP and we’ll match you into closer games. No DUPR? Self-rate — it just helps us group the night.
