Background
If you are looking to start a new poker league or want to get your poker league on the internet, then look no further than Wordpress and the WP Poker League plugin! Wordpress is traditionally used as a blogging platform but in recent years it’s grown to a full fledged content management system. You can quickly deploy a brand new website in a matter of minutes at most web hosting companies. Creating a website for your poker league allows you to communicate schedule changes, event results and leaderboards to all of your players, no matter where they are located.
And running a poker league online has never been easier. The Twitter Poker Tour, for example, has been using the new WP Poker League plugin to manage it’s online poker league for the last two seasons. Using this plugin, they are able to display the Leaderboard, Individual Event Results and Event Schedule on any Wordpress page or post simply by including a “shortcode” exactly where they would like the data to appear. Pretty easy huh?!?
