oh.nvm not interested, just reread the first postand noticed it says it would cost us to get in. i take back what i said cuz i dont have anymoney . srry didnt read the entire first post earlier.

Well, I've been playing mostly limit lately, but this sounds like fun and I just got a call to do some work in January/February - so that means a little bit of cash!

So put me down for sure... MathBabe.

Question
 

Would we still need to sign up if we only wanted to play in a few events ?

i will join
 

hey , ill join the league sometimes i dont get off work til late but ill play when i can ...

Yes, these will be private league events, so if you want to get the password for them you will have to pay the league fee. Then you can play as many, or as few, as you like.

i am interested
 

TheLaterDays is my usernam i might want to play

Well, I'm in, but, I don't know if I'm going to have pstars on my computer when I get to my new college. I have to ship my computer from Florida to Idaho, so there's a very good chance I won't have it till february. But barring my roomate not having a computer that he'll let me play poker on, I'm in.

How much do we send to TP? I will just send 10 and if the buy in changes to 5, I will get it back later.

I'm interested, however I would like a final confirmation of the final event structure, if we're gonna allow people to buyin it really should be a steep price (IE underlay).

So... is this league happening? If you guys want me to set up all the matches, I'd like to do so before I leave for the Bahamas next week (or else we could push the schedule back)...

I shifted the dates around a little based on suggestions (and the SuperBowl), does this look all right to everyone. If so, I would suggest setting up the first 4-5 matches on PokerStars ($10+$1). The $10 league fee will be sent to TP via his PokerStars account (by 1/15?). The league prizes will be announced when we see how many players get the money to TP (but before the first match).

TP, when will you be leaving and when will you be back?


Comments/Suggestions anyone?

it will be $10

We will have to see how big the prize pool gets and see how much the buyins that will be given away to the winners of each tourney allow.

I will be gone from the 4th through the 11th. I'll be taking my laptop, of course, but it looks like my access will be limited, so I'll probably fall behind on the forum.

So far, jillaj has sent in $10, and I'm now officially paid up too. I'll be interested to see how many people officially sign up (which will be determined by who sends $10 to TalkingPoker on Poker Stars).

Loading to PS tonight send me an email on what I should do with the full details I"M IN

umm
 

try reading the thread for details.

TP i sent my 10 bucks did you recieve it ?

Yes.

I certainly like these dates, would probably miss only the two Thursdays. Put me down as tentative pending finalization of the details.

Sent ya $10 TP I am In :cool:

Thought we would have at least 10 people in for this already. Didn't think we would get the 20 that said they would play but 5 is still low.

I'm definitely playing. I'll send my $$$ later tonight.

I'm IN and just sent my money to TP- i must say i dont get what's going on with the final match tho (do we have this determined yet- and if not what are the options?)

I think we need to see how many sign up.

Option A:
--if we have, say, 20 people
--$200 prize pool
--10 first place finishers (in the league events) get a free $11 sent to them at PS.
--$90 to be distributed to the top three overall players (with points assigned at each event based on place in the event)
--this is more of a "tour" setup

Option B:
--if we have, say, 11 people
--we just do the second part where it is based on your place in each event and the top 3-5 overall point leaders get part of the pize pool.
--this is the typical "league" setup

Personally, unless we get the 20+ people (and even then...), I like option B as the "main event" can't be a big buyin event anyway (just another private $10+$1 for the winners).

If we can grow this to 40-50+ players then I think the tour setup could be REALLY cool with a $40 buyin final event or something....

Those that are registered (or are going to register) speak up as to what you want to do. I vote Option B for this time around with the hopes of changing to the other format if we can build up the number of players.

If we decide to switch I will work up and post a points list for each event and the prize pool payout percentages for comment. If not we will leave it as is and see how it works.

How long do we have to be able to register? can it be up to say half an hour b4 tourney starts because i'm interested but dont know what plans i have yet.
