TPF League II...

[Talking Poker]

What do you guys think? Is everyone ready to give this another go?

I wonder if we can talk Blibbity into coming up with a schedule and setting everything up for us again.

Official League II Thread:


(Feel free to start a new thread, BB).

Basics:
-One time $10 entry fee (prize pool to be split by the top 3 league leaders at the end).
-20 $10+1 tourneys: two per week for 10 weeks
-Only your top 10 scores count (so no need to play in every tourney).
-Scoring system the same as last time (?)

I think we should have one mid-week nightly tourney every week, rotating from T-W-Th and one weekend tourney, switching from S-Su. But I'm game for as many as 3 per week if people are up for it. 1 isn't enough though.

This is all subject to change, of course. Feel free to debate/suggest away here, and once we get some stuff worked out, we'll create a new official thread with the schedule, participants, prizes, etc.

Who's in?

[jillaj]

I'm in.

[Zybomb]

yea me too

[Robbie Robb]

I'm in. Gotta defend my title

[PShabi]

You know me. I like 1 weekend + 1 week night tourney / week. Three seems like too much.

[bunny]

Summer time's just around the corner....I won't be around as often as I am now.

Would I be able to play when and if I'm around, said tourney date?

[Nikita]

I'm game for this one. There are enough extra tourneys in this one that it won't hurt me too much if I have to miss a few due to work.

[MAYHEM45]

[Robbie Robb]

Looks good to me.

[melioris]

if you are going with this schedule, might as well call this tournament the TalkingPoker Forum World Cup


And I can't make it.

[BlibbityBlabbity]

too long? or some other reason? This is not set in stone so feel free to comment.

[Robbie Robb]

I think it's a good length. Take a look at other leagues that exist: bowling leagues and the like usually go around 8 weeks or so. Most of the poker leagues around town here run quarterly.

Don't forget everyone: only your top ten places are counted towards the final rankings. It is NOT necessary (but obviously in your interests) to play in EVERY event. This schedule allows those that can only play on weekends to get in ten events.

[melioris]

just because it is going to overlap with the World Cup, that is all. For those of us that the WC is important, everything gets framed by that reference.

[eejit101]

two words, multi table?

[PShabi]

So that rules out 99% of North America. World Cup? Really, no one in the USA cares.

[Talking Poker]

As someone who will not watch 5 seconds of the World Cup, can you give us more info? When are those games? Surely not ALL of our tourneys overlap WC games, right? And most of these start at 9:30 PM ET. Where is the WC being played? If it's in Europe, I can't think they are playing games at 2:30 AM+, are they?

Depending on how a couple of things shake out for me in the near future, I will miss somewhere from a few to a lot of these, but I'm still in for sure. And I'll throw some extra loot or prizes or something into the league prize pool as well.

[Nikita]

Are we making this official? This is only a couple weeks away. It might be a good idea if we start getting everyone's money in. As well, I'm guessing we are using the same point structure and payout schedule as the last league.

[Talking Poker]

Ask Blibbity. I forgot all about this.

[Akverno]

So, I'm in but I won't be around for a while. I was just wondering if all the the tournaments were mtt nlhe. Or if we were going to substitute a couple with out games (heads up matches, omaha, anything like that.) I was just wondering what the status was.

[BlibbityBlabbity]

I think it would be cool to mix some other games in to the mix. (PL Omaha H/L, PL Omaha, PL HE) I know people on here generally hate limit tourneys so we should probably stick to PL/NL games.

We can start tranferring money to TP's Stars account anytime. $10 league fee. Entries into each event will be $10+$1.

League scoring will be the same system as last time. I will type it all up and post it with the paid sign up list as we get closer.

me in me want TP money

[studiopet]

Schedule works for me.
