PASSWORD
If you are registered for our league, you have immediate access to the upcoming game's password.

Gauntlet Mail: Click here.
FTR Gauntlet Forum: Click here.
-------
To those who don't know what the Gauntlet is:
The FTR Gauntlet is our own private online poker league. With such a community of both skillful and cool poker players here at FTR, we thought this would be a great venue for us to compete and have a ton of fun.
How does it work?
This season consists of a series of 25 tournaments (or "games"). NEW - Each player is permitted to play as many games as they like during the course of the season! Of these 25 total games, only the 12 highest-scoring games will count towards your final season point total. To have the best chance of ranking among the season's top 10 players and be eligible for the post-season FyrFytr Tournament Of Champions, you should play as many games as possible. The top finishers of each individual game will collect and keep the tournament cash prizes as in any tournament.
FTR will keep a leaderboard based on a point system. The leaderboard will be updated after each game with the latest point standings. At the end of the season, additional prizes will be awarded to the top three places on the leaderboard. But only 1st Place takes home the coveted FTR Gauntlet Trophy!

I was sitting in a lawn chair, trying to cool myself off with the mist setting on my garden hose while humming "In the Ghetto".

I lost my BR last month, so I am grinding $10NL rush poker for a $300 bonus on FT. It's not good BRM to play in the gauntlet for me.

That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

we gotta build the gauntlet up again, it's been too long since the last one and there's no more hype. Hopefully participating gets better as this season goes along.
