This is a fantastic opportunity to spend time focusing on raising dealing standards so please try to encourage as many of your team members to enter as possible.
Club Stages
28th July to 19th October. Anyone with a PFL can take part.
The club stages are drill based; videos of the drills have been provided.
You can have as many goes as you like, the more goes you have the better you will get, all your times will be recorded and your best one for each drill will be your score.
You must have taken part in all the drills to be able to qualify for a prize.
A QR code will be provided to your Dealer skills club coordinator to record your scores.
To make it through to the regional stage you will need to be one of the top 15 scores across your region.
Regional Stages
The top 15 dealers in each region will take part in the regional stages, competing against each other to come 1st or 2nd and win a cash prize.
The regionals will consist of dealer 15mins of roulette and 15mins of BJ to a panel of judges (pretend customers), the judges will not cheat on the table, be unreasonable or ask for bets that are unsuitable for the competition.
Judging criteria has been provided on the assessment page.
The dealers with the top 5 scores will deal again to compete for 1st and 2ndplace, but don’t be disheartened if you don’t come first or second as the top 15 scores across the UK will move onto the Grand Final.
There will be 3 side events at the regionals, these are the drills that you will have done in club and money can be won by getting the highest score on the day. The side events will be used in the event of a tied score for the top 5 dealers.
The news you are all waiting for, yes, our impossible side events are back, newly imagined and as hard as ever. Not for money but for pride and a unique prize!
Grand Final
2nd December. The format is the same as the regional events, but the competition gets harder, you are now competing against the top 15 dealers across the UK and the stakes are high. Money and pride!!! There are plenty of dealers that want the title and the cash.
