League?

[Invigilator]

Having joined AFTER the last time a league was done here, I guess the thing I am most curious about is how it is set up with the site.

I am 200 FPP's short of requesting tournaments Stars (I think you need 2000 right?), because I moved on over to Tilt.

I would also be willing to do the score keeping if there is an established system.

I have really enjoyed the few forum/Raistlin tournaments that I have played and am looking forward to more!

I am around and regularly checking the forum lately, so I can keep score for this one too.

I would like to see more people in each of the events this time. Not sure how we make this happen, but the 4-15 player events (mostly toward the smaller numbers) shouldn't be the standard.

For those who have not played in previous ones, what would make you play in more/some of the events this time?

I liked the variety of events as we did last time, the mix seemed pretty balanced for NLHE and other varieties.

I think a lower buy-in would get more players to play more events.

I was just checking out the old thread of the Talking Poker league...




It looks really fun, I hope this works out, I'll definitely be part of it

I'd really like to get a league up and running again too. I'd like there to be more interest than there was last itme, but I fear there may be less.

Suggestions/ideas:

-Make all tourneys $5+.50 entry (that is the new minimum, I believe), with possible one or two exceptions (first tourney and/or last tourney).

-Lower, $10 entry fee for the league prize pool?

-Have either one game per week (say, every Wednesday night, for example), or if we do 2 per week, shorten the league duration?

I'm not sure what else. Mixed games are cool, but we should have at least half straight NLHE.

I'd like a confirmed interest list of at least 20 people before we get this going. So far, I see maybe 7 (myself included) in this thread.

I would probably play.

Yes, bunny, it's my son Alex. He's definitely a cutie and so far he's quite the flirt too. He knows how to make a girl smile and play with him.

I'd be down with those details. I am thinking once a week would be good. I'll try to talk Oceanwaves into it, but "America's Next Top Model" is on that night.

Yeah, once you've earned enough FPPs, which I think you're right, it is 2000, you can email Stars support and they will give you access to creating private tourneys.

There's a bunch of us here with enough to create the tourneys though, so that shouldn't be a problem.

As for getting enough people to play, it's always been a bit of an issue. Some games had a good turn out and some didn't. For myself, the only time I won't be playing in the league games is if I'm scheduled to work.

With my schedule I'm probably going to be sitting this league out unfortunately...

Stupid work schedule...grr
