i think it would be cool to get some kind of monthly elite tourny goin to the top money earners at the end of each month. We could base the starting chips on how much money one earns for example: If you earn $48.70 your starting stack would be 4,870.
It could be for the top 20-40 players. Thoughts?
Great I'll see you there lol.
We've talked about doing a tournament of champions once a month.Quote:

For the TOC monthly tourney whoever won could again get some kind of accolade attached to there forum posts for a month. As there is already a bonus for top earners in a given month I think you would have to make the monthly TOC eligibility based off of winning a tournament. An extended thought process would be at the end of each year we could have a PO yearly Championship Tournament for the 12 TOC winners if there are no repeat winners obv.
I have to believe this would significantly heighten the level of play we see at the tables as well as be a serious attraction to new, current and future members of the PO community. I know from past experience than an award system like this is great and has many positive affects. The moderators could easily hand out the daily tournament accolades and I'm sure a list of tournament winners for each month could be easily generated.
In that my question to Zab would be is there a way to program a command line for us to type into chat that would place an accolade on an individual player? Could they be programmed to auto expire at the end of a week or a month as to create no confusion on who has what and why and for how long? If that is possible then I think we have something here and could be great for the site with all the changes coming up and new faces we will be seeing.
yeah this has been brought up quite a few times, I also made a thread about accolades for PO, but so far it has been just ideas. Hopefully now that we have more players playing we can get this into motion, I think like I said before it will bring more players to PO which is good for Zab, and for me because I like bigger fields. :)Quote:

I guess Zab will bring everyone a christmas present soon :)
Also what kind of prize pool would you do for a TOC?
great idea, would love to see this going...
Deff start a tourny of champions I love that Idea!!
Also I want my idea to be started the 1st annual WSOPO (World Series of Poker Owned) all tournies will be in the client, but you must fix the lagging problem and the timebank so hands arent auto folded when your run out of time it would be checked instead....
I want a 5k Main Event buyin.....and many smalerr tournies
sounds like a great idea... kinda like the recent chip king promotion on carbon.. maybe ill do better here . lmao.
this is a verry very very good idea
Sad to say but some of the sneaks have won these alsoQuote:

Great idea. But could we also have the Tourney of Chumps so that players like myself can get a taste of the bright lights as well. My "TOC" would match the 30 players who have the lowest earnings per cash. In other words the 30 players who cashed the most but earned the least. That is a skill as well. Right. Being a total tuna at the final table night in and night out.
that tourney of champs sounds real cool. i can probably be po's first toc champ. haha
I think a TOC once a month would be cool for the monthly leaderboard. like you said 20-40 players ... we could go in the middle and have the top 30 players... and if they won $50 in the month they would get 5k... $48 4800 to start the tourney. kind of like some tourneys carbon ran. and i think $100 a month would be a nice prizepool to run for TOC.
i think i ask zab about this toc mthly leaderbrd game about several months ago..i am still waiting for his response..i would love to play in this game with the past winners as well..a 100 to 200 prize pool would be nice, ticket entry only but you have to buyin as well with pts
I think it would be better if its just tourney winners because you shouldnt be in a tournament of champions if you dont win one
I guess Zab will bring everyone a christmas present soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
