TPF League II - $125 Added!!!

BlibbityBlabbity · #1 04-27-06, 02:18 PM

This is the official summary thread for the TPF League II. Here you will find the official rules, the signup list, and eventually the Results and Overall Standings. I will keep this updated with the current rules if there are any changes.

____________________________

RULES:
1) League consists of 20 events - all Private tourneys. The password for every tourney (unless stated otherwise) is: talkingpoker
2) Each event has a $10+$1 buy in and payouts based on the standard Poker Stars MTT payout schedule.
3) Each player also pays a League entry fee of $10 (payable to TalkingPoker via Poker Stars transfer prior to the first event the player plays in (not necessarily Event #1)).
4) The winner of each league event is awarded points based on their place in the event (see points distribution list below).
5) Overall point leaders at the end on the 20 league events will be awarded portions of the prize pool as described below.
6) TP is adding $100 to the League Prize Pool!!! And the winner also gets some TP.com loot, including a TP.com hat if they don't already have one. .
7) pshabi is adding the $25 he won from to the League Prize Pool too!!!
8) Of the $125 added, $25 will go directly into the prize pool for the top 4 league finishers. The remaining $100 will be set aside for a Tournament of Champions for the Top 9* finishers in the league. This will be a $100 freeroll (an $11 value - more than the league entry fee!) at Stars held on July 12, 2006 at 9:30 PM ET.

____________________________

LEAGUE PAYOUTS ($245 Prize Pool + $100 T.O.C.):
Based on overall points total from each's players best 10 finishes:

1st (40%): $98.00
2nd (30%): $73.50
3rd (20%): $49.00
4th (10%): $24.50
PLUS the $100 Tournament of Champions Freeroll for the Top 9* finishers!

*If necessary, ties for the 9th spot of the T.O.C. will be broken as follows:
1) Highest Average Score for events scored in (person to get to total with least scores)
2) Highest Individual Score (if still tied)
3) 2nd Highest Individual Score (if still tied)
4) Next Highest Individual Score (if still tied) and so on...

Note: There will be no tie-breakers for the Top 4 league payouts. For example, if the players in 3rd and 4th place have the same total score, the prize money for the two spots will be added up and split evenly between them. If two people tie for 4th, they will split the 4th place money.

______________________________
So to answer the ineveitable question of "How much is this going to cost me":

League Entry Fee: $10 payable to 'TalkingPoker' on PokerStars

Individual event buyins: $10+$1 (minimum at PokerStars), BUT, you don't HAVE to play in them all if you choose not to. Only your top 10 point scores will count.

If someone enters that is not a member of the league they WILL generate points (their play will add 10 points up for grabs in that event) but at the end they will NOT recieve points BUT WILL block points for that place. For example, if a non-league player wins an event there will be no 1st place points awarded. This is what we did last time and it worked ok.

In other words, even if you aren't in the league, you are more than welcome to play in one or more of the tourneys with everyone. You simply won't be eligible for the prize money at the end of the League.

I just made some edits, and I'm about to make a bunch more... including some added money to the league prize pool!

Thanks for taking care of this, Blibbity!

PShabi · #3 04-27-06, 02:43 PM

Yes, thanks to BB once again. And thanks to TP for boosting the prize pool. Tasty!

I just transferred, so count me in.

Hey TP, $20 says I place higher than you in this league.

Talking Poker · #4 04-27-06, 02:47 PM

$25 says you don't!

PShabi · #5 04-27-06, 02:53 PM

$25 it is.

Talking Poker · #6 04-27-06, 02:58 PM

I've also tweaked the points distribution to be more uniform. Unless anyone has any strong objections, I think this will be an improvement over last time.

Talking Poker · #7 07-10-06, 01:17 AM

It's official:

and...

Talking Poker · #8 07-10-06, 01:18 AM

Thanks to everyone who played in the league, members and guests - I think it's safe to say it's been a big success. I'm going to transfer the winnings to the Top 4 players now. The password to Wednesday's TOC will be PM'd to the 9 qualifiers in a day or so.

eejit101 · #9 07-10-06, 01:32 AM

lol, transfering $92 from TalkingPoker to Rogue23?

New Guy · #10 05-26-06, 06:00 PM

Do I have a chance in this league assuming i dont win like 5 in a row? Be honest now!!

eejit101 · #11 05-26-06, 07:06 PM

yeah, 1 win and you "should" make it to the tourey of champions, 2 wins and your in second.

PShabi · #12 05-27-06, 07:03 PM

I'm in first place so far for tonight's event!

PShabi · #13 06-10-06, 07:44 PM

eejit101 · #14 06-10-06, 08:12 PM

Robbie Robb · #15 06-10-06, 09:15 PM

15 minutes till game time and only 5 of us registered! Could be another small field tonight...

Talking Poker · #16 06-10-06, 09:24 PM

Ass.

I didn't think I'd be able to make it, but I got home just in time. I have friends over again, but I'm still gonna play...

studiopet · #17 06-13-06, 09:35 AM

You all are very forunate as I have a Soccer game (thats right - I said Soccer, not Football) this Thursday night and will not be in attendance for the League event.

You can all thank me by transfering over 1$ (each) to my Stars account.

Talking Poker · #18 06-13-06, 12:23 PM

Finally, eejit will have to play with a normal stack, instead of the double stack you always start him off with.

studiopet · #19 06-13-06, 01:51 PM

Yeah TP - you *might* get some points this time.....

Good luck with that.....

eejit101 · #20 06-13-06, 03:05 PM

League tonight.

I plan on sticking around a lot longer than three hands tonight. Consider yourselves warned.

PShabi · #25 06-21-06, 07:27 PM

I'm like 65/35 in favor of not playing. Wish I could. Might still. Consider YOURSELF warned.
