Epic Poker League
Non-Member Participation
### Non\-Member Participation

While the Epic Poker League was exclusionary in that it was only open to poker players who met certain qualification criteria, a series of qualifying events were marketed and publicized to the non\-member general public, in an effort to draw increased tournament play to the [Palms](/wiki/Palms_Casino_Resort "Palms Casino Resort") Poker Room. Each tournament series began with a [Pro\-Am](/wiki/Pro-Am "Pro-Am") tournament. In addition to the players who have a membership card, the final 9 finishers of each Pro\-Am won entry into that tournament's Main Event.
