Can you lead your State or Province to glory?

This is your chance to put your home state — or province — on the map

In State vs State, anyone can become a captain. Whether you’re a poker host, room regular, or simply the social glue of your community, this is your shot to build your dream team and take them to sea for the ultimate filmed showdown.

This isn’t just poker — it’s pride, teamwork, and bragging rights that cross borders.

You’ll face other captains who think their players, their game, and their state are unbeatable.
Prove them wrong.

Each team represents a state or province — or even a special region if your area isn’t full yet.
Captains choose their roster of nine players, each bringing their own strengths:

• One who’s brilliant at strategy.
   
• One who thrives under pressure.
   
• One who’s the heart of the team.
   
• And at least one who can handle PLO or other mixed games.
   

You’ll battle in filmed Hold’em tournaments, Pokerlympics challenges, and reality-style team games that test creativity, adaptability, and nerve.

Every win earns points toward your state’s overall ranking — and the right to claim the Ultimate State Champion title.

• Feature Table Filming: Your team could play on camera, representing your state in highlight reels watched by thousands.
   
• Pokerlympics: Fun, easygoing physical and mental team challenges — designed for laughs, pride, and unforgettable moments.
   
• Multiple Game Types: Expect surprises — from No-Limit Hold’em to PLO, Pineapple, and more.
   
• Team Spirit: Uniform shirts, flags, slogans, or matching colors encouraged — bring your full personality.
   
• Red Carpet & Studio Interviews: Captains and standout players get the full filmed treatment — interviews, commentary, and photos.
   

If you think you have what it takes to lead a team of strong personalities, now’s your chance.

To register:

• Pick your state or province (first come, first served for captain slots).
   
• Recruit your team of up to nine players.
   
• Choose a team name, design your shirts, and show us your pride.
   
• Submit a short intro video (fun, casual, and creative — let your region’s flavor shine).
   

Don’t worry if your state already has a team — we’ll also open wildcard divisions and smaller regional brackets.

Your region’s pride, your team’s chemistry, and your captaincy are about to be tested.
Do you have what it takes to carry the flag all the way to the final table?  

Not sure you can fill all nine spots yet? No problem.

Apply as a Wild Card Captain, and we’ll help connect you with solo players or partial teams who are looking for a leader.

You’ll still get full captain status, full visibility, and the same chance to compete for filmed glory.

This challenge is about leadership, energy, and connection — not geography.

If you can rally a team, you’re already halfway to victory.
