NHC Qualifiers are Exclusive to HorseTourneys in October

From October 1 through October 31, HorseTourneys.com will be the exclusive home of all NTRA National Horseplayers Championship (NHC) qualifying events. NHC Qualifiers this coming weekend will each award two (2) Guaranteed NHC Entry Packages.

The NHC is the most prestigious and lucrative handicapping competition in America. Each year, top players of all backgrounds travel to the NHC Finals in Las Vegas to compete for the title of Horseplayer of the Year, an Eclipse Award and a share of millions in prize money and rewards. These top players earn their way in to the Finals by competing in official qualifying tournaments.

In the month of October, these qualifiers will run exclusively at HorseTourneys.com. Feeders for NHC qualifying events will also take place daily at HorseTourneys, though a direct buy-in to qualifiers is also an option.

HorseTourneys players looking to compete in qualifying events must be NHC Tour members in order to accept the NHC Entry Package prize. More information on the NHC Tour and links to join can be found at ntra.com/nhc.

A detailed schedule of NHC Qualifiers through the month of October is available at horsetourneys.com/schedule. There are two NHC Qualifier tournaments this weekend, one on Friday Oct 2 and the second on Sunday Oct 4. Details on both tournaments, including how to enter, and their feeders can be found by going to HorseTourneys.com and sorting by “NHC.”

Or…if nothing else…it’s a way to pass the time.
