Personally, I feel that poker leagues are a great idea and add something extra to the game. We all know that sometimes the most skillful players can end up not winning a tournament due to one piece of bad luck, but we also know that luck evens out over time. This means that a poker league run over several months gives a fair chance for the most skillful players to shine.

I have recently started playing in a local league, and it is nice to have an extra incentive to play for, and to see the league leader board updated each week.
Many major sports and games have leagues involved, and I think that due to the luck factor playing it’s part in the game it is perhaps even more important that leagues are part of poker.
Points awarded for league placings probably differ in different leagues, but from my own experience a player is awarded 1 point for finishing last, 2 points for second last and 1 point thereafter for each place up to 1st. This seems a fair way of awarding points, and is a well balanced points system I feel.
I am not very highly placed on our league at the moment due to a very rocky start over the past few weeks, but the good thing about a league is that things can change pretty quickly with one good result, and so it is always worth coming back the next week to try and improve.
My hopes for the moment are to move into the top ten, and I am sure other players in other leagues can recognise the extra enjoyment factor of competing for an additional prize pool over a lengthy league campaign.
