Getting Started at CCN

Once you've accepted your free tokens, you will see tabs for the various types of games that you can participate in. We'll describe each of them below.

Each tab represents the different types of poker tournaments with the date and time of the tournament and the Buy-In or Invitation required to get a seat at the table. We'll explain each of those tabs below.

Remember, a 'Buy-In' is still FREE -- you just earn those points by playing!

In general, you will begin by practicing your game play, increasing your skill level, and building up Tokens and Loyalty Points that will be used to get you into the different kinds of tournaments.

Most CCN tournaments have multiple winners! As you progress by winning through the steps and various levels of play in each category, you will continue to build your Loyalty Point and Token balances while earning free invitations to higher-level tournaments.

The Summit Tab offers eight free tournament steps that earn each player Loyalty Points (LP’s), Tokens and Invitations to higher steps and the Triple Crown Series Tournament.

Buy-ins and Invitations here are free. New players should focus on learning poker with games that don't require buy-ins in order to build up their points and tokens for the larger prizes.
