Poker League Kit + Tracker Spreadsheets: Home League Planner with Points, Payouts, Blinds, Budget & Standings Excel

Tired of running your poker league out of a group chat, a shoebox of cash, and a spreadsheet you built at midnight? This is the kit plus the trackers that settle every argument — points calculate themselves.

Everything in the Poker League Kit — plus the working spreadsheets a commissioner actually runs the season on.

THE KIT (12-page PDF): a complete planning playbook for a 10-month private poker league — 30/40/50-player models (40 recommended), monthly money model built around a $10,000 championship target, field-normalized points (first place always 100, last always 5), percentage payout tables, the $10,000 championship table, dealer cost matrix and quote script, complete blind structure (20,000 chips, 20-minute levels, big-blind antes), role separation and money controls (no organizer profit, separate ledgers, two-person counts), event-night run sheet, New York legal/venue due-diligence section, and a six-week launch runway with a final pre-launch checklist.

THE TRACKER PACK (delivered as one ZIP file containing):
• league_tracker.xlsx — blank workbook with live formulas: Nightly Results (points calculate automatically from finish place and that night's field size, using the kit's formula), Season Standings (best-8 total, wins, top-3s, qualification and top-8 championship flags, rank), and Payouts & Championship calculators
• league_tracker_example.xlsx — the same workbook filled with clearly fake sample data, so you can see it working before your first night
• league_tracker_printable.pdf — blank nightly scoresheet (50 finish rows, two-person count sign-off) plus a season standings grid for the wall or the binder
• CSV starters: nightly results template, season standings template, and the kit's payout percentages / $10,000 championship table as data

The trackers are verified against the kit's own worked examples: points reproduce the kit's examples for a 40-player field (1st = 100, 5th = 90, 10th = 78), best-8 logic drops the two lowest scores, a 40-entrant × $100 night pays exactly the kit's $4,000 example, and the championship table totals exactly $10,000.

IMPORTANT SCOPE NOTE: The kit's legal section is written for a proposed New York league — questions and due-diligence gates for a gaming attorney, venue, and insurer. It is NOT legal clearance or legal/tax/insurance advice. Most operating material adapts elsewhere; have local counsel and the venue review your exact structure before collecting money.

WHO IT'S FOR: league commissioners and home-game organizers who want the playbook AND the season-long working files, with transparent, no-organizer-profit money handling.
WHO SHOULD NOT BUY: anyone seeking legal permission or a raked/profit model; anyone who only wants the playbook — see the Basic Kit listing at $24.
