Spidey,

For our WSOP league, we each put up $250. This gave 1st place the buy-in and $500 for travel and accommodations. Second place got $500 to go along as a companion. (there were 10 people)

There were many rules for money and how to resolve disputes and such, but the important things were...

We played 10 tournaments. First place got 10 points, Second place got 9, and so on

If you are absent you can send a sub ONCE.

IF you have no sub, you get 1 point max. (if one person was absent, the first person present to bust out would get 2 points)

Ties int he final standings were broken by number of 1st place finishes, then 2nd place finishes and so on.

Since we were playing for a $1500 buy-in event, we started with the same chips. (4500).

Blinds were...

25/50
50/100
100/200
150/300
300/600
500/1000
700/1400
1000/2000 capped at that level

We played 20 minute levels and raced of the 25 chips after the 4th level.
We also ran a 2 deck system to keep it moving.

----------
The only glitch we ran into was as people became mathematically eliminated, they stopped coming. So as we got down to the wire, the available point spread shrunk. This made things harder for the people who were chasing. We pointed this out and got better attendance at the end, but I suggest also doing $5-$10 each game as a last longer and pay out to first or the top 2.

That seems to be the gist of the important things, let me know if you have more specific questions.
