You do not have to be on time in order to get the RSVP bonus. As long as you show up before the event is over and play at least one game you will get BOTH the extra chips (500) and the extra awesome points, assuming you checked the box to RSVP in advance.

If you DO happen to sign in before the event starts AND you were among the first 10 to RSVP you ALSO get a guaranteed spot on table 1.

If you did not RSVP, you are still welcome to show up at any time, you just won't get the extra bonus chips and extra awesome points, and you MAY still be able to get on table 1 if there are any available spots at the event start time. If not, we will still get you into a game as quickly as possible.

Bonus Tournament Chips Reduced
Every tournament point you earn during regular play will yield 75 extra chips in the tournament. This will be rounded up to the nearest 100. The reason for this is that when the original model came into play the number of points being given out was a small fraction of what we currently award. For example, in our first year the most points anyone won in a month was only 31. In order to keep things in proportion it has become necessary to begin gradually reducing the chip-to-point ratio for tournaments.

Changes Coming in July
_The on-time bonus chips will be reduced from 1,000 to 500.
_The minimum penalty for not showing up to an event at all after you RSVP will be 20 awesome points.

Bragging Rights From the Past
As requested, past leaderboards are now available showing all tournament points earned since June 2011. Full win percentage data is available (for those who have opted to make it public) going back to December 2020. In time, we will go back further for win percentages, but that's what you get for now. To check it out, click on "Winners" from the top menu above and then click on "Past Seasons."

Vaccinations Still Required to Play
If you have not been vaccinated please get vaccinated before attending any 4 Aces events. Once you have your vaccine card, please upload a picture of it where prompted. Once approved, the image will be purged and only the date/manufacturer will be saved.

CURRENT PLAYERS: PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE AT AN EVENT
Upload your card in advance BEFORE you come out. It will make things go a lot more smoothly when you arrive. Just log in and click "My Account" and you will be prompted with an upload link. Once verified the image of your vaccine card will be purged.

NEW PLAYERS
IF VACCINATED, you can sign up and play one game prior to uploading an image of your vaccine card. Once signed in, Please use this time to click the link in the email you received and upload your card so you can sign in again for the next game without delay.

BOOSTERS
If you are due for a booster shot please get that taken care of as soon as possible. At some point, the web site will prompt you to upload an image of your vaccination card showing your most recent booster, if applicable.
