League Layout
 
Hi all,

I have gone over all the feedback from the polls and threads, run some stuff by TP, and I have a layout for the league.

The point system and year end payout structure from League III will be used because there did not seem to be any reason to mess with it.

Four nights were tied with the most votes. In the end I thought that a relatively consistent night was best because it would be easier to remember and work around where possible. There are 2 exceptions for the holidays.

I went with Stars because it was the most popular. However, there are a few events that we will try to set up at FT. If you don't keep cash on one of those sites, trades are possible if you can get someone to trust you. ;):rolleyes:

The 5 card draw and 2-7 triple draw were not available as private tournmants

-------------------------------------------------
Optional League registration: $20
Tournament buy-in: $5
EDIT: All tournaments start at 9:30 pm

Warmup Bounty tournament (to be determined by TP)

**exceptions in bold

1. NLH Stars Mon Nov 19
2. LH Stars Mon Nov 26
3. NLH Stars Mon Dec 3
4. Omaha H/L Stars Mon Dec 10
5. NLH Fulltilt Mon Dec 17
6. Stud H/L Stars Sun Dec 23
7. NLH Fulltilt Sun Dec 30
8. Razz Stars Mon Jan 7
9. NLH Stars Mon Jan 14
10. PLO Fulltilt Mon Jan 21
11. NLH Stars Mon Jan 28
12. HORSE Stars Mon Feb 4

T.O.C. NLH Stars Mon Feb 11

---------------------------------------------------

Obviously this schedule does not meet everyones needs. I tried to go with consensus and what seemed reasonable.

Let me know if you have any suggestions regarding what appears here.

bunny 11-05-07 10:31 PM

What time?

Invigilator 11-05-07 10:50 PM

9:30 PM

I went back and editted it in.

I think it looks great.

Hopefully people will agree. If so, I'll start the official thread, collecting league fees, and setting up all the tourneys by the end of the week or so.

Thanks for your initiative on this. :thumbsup:

New Guy 11-06-07 08:04 AM

My show should be 1) cancelled by then or 2) the writters will still be on strike so IM IN !!! Very excited to get back to playing poker!!!!

Wes 11-06-07 08:12 AM

I think it would be a good idea to have a baller division where people put up 1-5k on who finishes better in the league. At least that would spark some interest from me.

bunny 11-06-07 10:07 AM

Donations to the league fee, would be nice...since you can afford to give more. :rolleyes:

Seriously though, that's how the other league I'm in operates. If there is someone who'd like to donate to the league, they do.

There is NO league fee (one of the things I like about it). To compensate, they ask every league player who places, to send 10% of their winnings (and/or donate whatever they like).

They, in turn, get more interested players to join and the tournament turnout is impressive.


Invigilator: would it be possible to change the Stud H/L for a different date? Christmas time isn't a good time for me and I do enjoy playing Stud h/l, but I understand if you can't make changes.

eejit101 11-06-07 10:35 AM

you dont HAVE to pay to enter. most people here deposit, the league aint for freerollers.

Im in btw

Kurn 11-06-07 12:50 PM

I'm in

Invigilator 11-06-07 04:21 PM


There is definitely nothing stopping the high rollers from setting up side bets, but it would probably be better to have them set it up among themselves.

As to the stud h/l game, I think it would be best if we considered switching it to a different place in the schedule. I'll take peek at it later tonight.

Invigilator 11-06-07 06:15 PM

As per Bunny's request, I will suggest that we flip the events in bold.

bunny 11-06-07 09:03 PM

Thanks, hun. :cheers:

de-coder 11-09-07 09:28 AM

I think Dec 23 might be a tough date for turnout...

I'm in.

Invigilator 11-09-07 05:18 PM

Should we skip a week or move it?

Fildy 11-09-07 05:20 PM

move it to the end of the league

bunny 11-09-07 06:26 PM


I won't be here, from Dec 22nd to Jan.7th. Don't change anything on my account, but thought I'd mention it.

murkosk 11-10-07 08:54 PM

Ok
 
Ok, Im in, but I need somebody to exchange my pokerstars money for fulltilt. It is not posibble to deposit any money on my FT account.

Talking Poker 11-11-07 11:19 AM

Let me know what you decide on this.... I will be setting everything up in the next day or two or three.

Invigilator 11-11-07 08:39 PM

I think skipping that one week would be a good idea. I'll adjust the schedule and post it. I think we can run with it at that point.

Invigilator 11-11-07 08:41 PM

There, that didn't take long. Let 'er rip!:thumbsup:

Talking Poker 11-13-07 07:09 PM

I'm putting together the league thread now, so if anyone has any last minute suggestions, now is the time to post them.

Also, since the last league used each person'd best 8 scores out of 20 tourneys played, I'm dropping that number to 6 out of the 12 we have scheduled this time around.

I'm not 100% sure about hwo to set up private tourneys on Full Tilt just yet, but that's the plan for 3 of them. If this doesn't work out, we'll be moving them to Stars as well.

OK, back to my megapost.
