TPF League III Interest List and Suggestions...

[Talking Poker]

The deal will be about the same as last time:

(See details in that thread)

Quick summary:

We'll have 20 Events on - 2 per week for 10 weeks... One every Sunday night (no more Saturday tourneys) and one on T, W, or Th night each week. 9:30 PM ET.

The league fee will be $10 per person. You can play in the events without being in the league, but to have your points count and to be eligible for the prizes (and the Tournament of Chamnpions!) at the end, you need to pay your entry fee first.

I'll kick in some extra cash and/or prizes. I'm not sure exactly what, but I'm thinking I'll put up $100 for the TOC, and maybe throw in a sweatshirt for the overall League Winner.

Other than not having any Saturday tourneys, I also suggest the following changes for this time around: Let's mix in some different games. My suggested breakdown:
14 NLHE
1 Limit HE
1 Omaha (PL)
1 Omaha H/L (limit)
1 Stud (limit)
1 Stud H/L (limit)
1 HORSE (if they offer them by them - cross your fingers)

This will still make the league very Hold'Em focused, but I think it would be fun to TRY some of these other games, even if it's just once each. I'd be ok with more of each, but I'd rather ease these in and see how people react to them this first time around, rather than going crazy with the mixed games.

The other suggestion I'd like to make it to only count the Top 8 scores for each person, instead of 10. This should make the league a bit more competitive, and more fair for those who have to miss tourneys. Last time, no one scored 10 times. Only N1kita scored 9 times, but a few people were in the 7-8 neighborhood:


Ok, those are my thoughts. Let's have this thread be both an interest list and a discussion thread for other ideas. I'd like to get things finalized and the schedule out by the end of the month, with the intent of kicking off the league in September and running into November, hopefully wrapping up before U.S. Thanksgiving.

Oh, and yes, I plan on winning. Again.
