TP Cash League-idea crapshoot

[Talking Poker]

One more thing I thought of... This needs to be changed:
0000-1999 25 points

While I don't think anyone would do this, there is nothing to prevent someone from playing 10 hands and calling it a week with some sick 150 bb/100 score. We need a minimum amount to qualify - probably 500, or better yet, 1000 hands. People should be able to get in 1000 hands in a week, I would think. Anyone should be able to do 500, anyway, even if you are just one tabling.

I agree with The Storm about the different limits, which is why I suggested coming up with some sort of multiplier to normalize the results. For example, we could multiply the $25 table results by .5 and the $1000 and higher table results by 1.5... or something like that. I'm just making numbers up here, but I think it's reasonable to say that one's expected BB/100 rate at $25 should be three times that of the $1000 winrate. I dunno. I think we should do this for all limits in order to level the playing field. We'll pick a base level and then agree on multipliers for every other level. I think the minimum table people should be allowed to play for this is $25, so we could do something like this:

$25 - .5
$50 - .7
$100 - .8
$200 - 1.0
$400 - 1.2
$600 - 1.3
$1000+ - 1.5

That's just my first stab at numbers, but I actually think they are pretty decent. I'm sure we can agree on something that's fair for everyone.

I like the BBJ idea too. We could come up with qualifying criteria and let it continue to build until someone hits it.

My final suggestion: I'm cool with starting the week of August 6th (in fact, I think that's just right), but if we do, I think we should have a "practice week" the week before, with maybe one extra day thrown in between for any last minute tweaks. That way, we'll have some results to work with and can make sure the rules are fair and adjust anything that needs adjusting.

I'd like to get some input from the lower level players who are interested in participating. Surely you guys are going to want in on this, right? I would think this would be the most +EV for the low limit guys, based on the discussions so far. And it's great inspiration to grind out a lot of hands too.
