general league rules

[jaeh00d]

I would be very interested in something like this. I have pondered something like this for a while but just never saw open. What site are you looking to do this on?

If there is enough interest in this, I will fully support it and will gladly ADD money to the prizepool... but this can not be a freeroll league. It has to be a minimum buy in league.

Also, I don't want to run it. I have enough going on. So if someone else wants to step up (Blibbity? ), by all means, please do. Hell, BDMK seems to have a lot of experience with this. Maybe he'll want to step up and lay out the groundwork, see who is interested, and get things going...

i think we can do it without you having to add money to it. Should be a simple as having a buy-in to the league and there is the prize money at the end. I know you feel obligated to put money in every torney we have but think its time you took a break with that stuff.

I have a great calculator right now but its linked through another forum so Ill find another one.

How about something like a 20 dollar original league buy in. Then 5 - 10 dollars for each individual event. If you would like even some sort of a mainevent with a 30-40 dollar buy in.

I would also like a few different events not only hold em. Maybe PL omaha high or seven card stud

Absolutely, Omaha 8B (limit and PL) TOO!

I have no problem getting this going, but I am not an expert with it by any means so if anyone has any input feel free to share it. BDMK, let me know if you are interested in figuring this out.

First questions:

1) Who is interested?
2) How much would you be willing to put in to a league fee? ($10, $20, $30)
3) How much would you be willing to pay as a buyin per event? ($5, $10)
4) How long should this last (maybe a shorter duration one for the first try)? (10 weeks with 2-3 events per week at varying times/days/game types? Top 8 of the 20-30 games count)
5) What games would you like to have as part of the lineup? (NL, LIMIT, PL Omaha, Omaha 8B LIMIT and PL, 7 Stud, 7 stud 8B, Horse )

I'm interested. A league fee of 20 dollars. Buy ins of both 5 and 10 dollars ( varies ) I thin 10 weeks is fine. nl hold em, limit holdem, and pl omaha high

[BrianSwa]

$20 I think is too much of a fee for league. what i posted 2 up would work out fine.

Im in. I think a $20 dollar league fee and $10 events will be the most reasonable, and will get the most turnouts. All of the games you mention should be played at least once, with the final MAIN EVENT being NLHE, just like the WSOP. Im not sure how the points system works, but if we could do something like the Toyota Leaderboard to determine the overall winner, that would be cool. The main event would be weighted heavier than the other events. Last of all I think this should be on Stars. If I have to play one more match on Bugsys Club, I think my eyes will commit suicide and take my brain with them.
