The free PocketFives League on NLOP, which welcomes US players, returns for a new month on Tuesday, August 5. We’re hitting the reset button on the standings, so everyone will be on equal footing, and there’s no cost to play. NLOP is giving out a total of $500 in cash to the top five finishers.

The games run every Tuesday night in August at 9:30pm ET on NLOP. If you want to play, just sign up for NLOP by clicking hereand then log into the web-based client. Click on “Redeem Promo Code” on the left side of the screen and enter the code for that week’s game. The promo code for the August 5 game is 4POCKETFIVES.

Once you’ve entered the promo code, click on the “Featured” tab in the “Tournament” lobby and you’ll see the PocketFives League game listed. Just click “Register” and you’re all set. Make sure to show up to each League game on time, as there’s only 20 minutes of late seating.

Each week in August, we’re giving out PocketFives gear to our top three finishers. Additionally, the top ten finishers receive points that will be tracked for an overall leaderboard for the month of August:
