7/6/13 PokerOwned League Play Explained

[Swittie]

No bonus then eh for making the final tables?

nope.... i think extra numbers only increase confusion, make it as simpler as possible and people will like it, as faster people will be able to calculate things easier it will be to estimate risks and gains in hiring/ firing members for example and in any other info they will need to estimate quikly to take decisions.....

Cant expect everyone to play everyday.. Which is why I think we should take 3 \ 5 or 2 \ 5

But what about players who can play only 1 a day, but perhaps place highly? They will never count on any team, so it would exclude alot of us.

Not true.. If you play in ONE tournament, and you do well.. (We take the top 3 from your team from THAT tournament) then you are helping your team.

I would love to participate but i am not always available to participate in every event... etc.. I just play the events on juicy and Lock primarily... =/ The people that are able to play in all of them etc would be at a huge disadvantage.. not that they don't deserve it. I am really interested in being in a league but i think it would be a waste for me if you stick to that format because i will only be participating in 6-10 games a week at most.

[Danger1666]

yeah i really only do one a day or so. As much as i love poker - i have a family etc.. i can't just sit on the computer all night every night... it seems absurd.

wow.. i guess i have to start reading : )

Well let me know.. I don't know how other leagues work and what has to happen.

1 for entering a tourney? What if they don't have 1 point? I could send them negative.. Just -1?

I'd send that 1 pt to the prize pool right?

I am in 8 leagues now, and all play differently. Here are a few things I like from their league format....

1. Sitters are disqualified and hit with the -1 like you mentioned above (registering could cost more to show a true desire to play, or less if you want as many to join as possible)

2. In one league I play, there are games everyday, someone has a specific day assigned to them and they are teams of seven, so everyone is assigned to a specific day (which I don't necessarily like because I can only play once a week, but then again it does work well and makes things interesting).

3. League with weekend games only (only two games a week Saturday and Sunday) could possibly roll one of these out and call it the weekend warrior league. I like the idea of having games daily (every evening). This way everyone has the option/opportunity to join and play. I am only in one league that has the option to play in every game and its on Poker Stars. I am sure the league will have better success being ran on BCP/ACR/True, Carbon/Aced, or Bovada since real money will come with wins (I have played on skins that didn't award money, needed a ticket to enter, and is one of the best ways to advertise the league when players that do not know about PO sees "Poker Owned League" in the lobby of their favorite online poker room).

4. Only top 33% of the players pool are awarded points. Sitters lose points and hurts their individual AND team score.

5. Anything else you need specifically let me know! There are so many ways to run a league and make it fun for everyone, I would love to help coordinate. I have the next couple of days off, so let me know!
