    i think a monthly competition would be a lot more efficient

    top 3 get paid, or whatever depending upon number of runners
    nono not settling up every week. One payment of $25 at the start!

    I thought this was a 1 time payment and $5 went to every tournament. I have no problem escrowing to Thetemplar.

    I like TheTemplars idea. As long as it's on a day I can play I'll be in. You should probably wait until the end to pay everybody. It would cut down on the amount of envelopes.

    If you go with a different game each week, I think it should be NLHE for the final. This is totally self serving since, although I know how to play the other games, I really don't know the proper short-handed strategy for PLO or omaha 8. I just haven't played them enough.

    Unlike you Bubbles, the video version guy isn't even a convincing retard....
    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    I'd be in. I think an 8 week series with $10/week would be pretty standard. I don't think that logging on paypal and sending a $10 gift isn't a problem and only takes about 2 minutes. This allows late comers to join in later in the game.

    Paypal fraud needs to be considered here. Chargebacks are an option, no?

    Druff said before and I take it the same goes here. If there is a chargeback, the person will be banned permanently.

    Too much to expect only active posters to participate? In all honesty I'm not really interested in playing with forum "strangers".

    Although I guess this wouldn't be like a league on Stars where randoms could sign up and play.

    Here is how I would do this. It would be on an 8 week cycle... you get 20 people at $25.00 each for $500.00

    You play every Sunday night for points for finishing 1-10

    Whoever wins each week gets sent 25.00 on paypal and is now on a freeroll (or more if they win multiple times)

    At the end of 8 weeks the top ten in points play a sng... if the stacks can be weighted based on points even better but I don't know if Belly Buster has that capability.

    The SNG can be $150-100-50

    If you get less than 20 players you just cut the prize pool in half, half for the tournament of champions or whatever and the other half you divide by 8 and pay each winner that amount...

    its very realistic for someone to get a $200.00 return over the course of the 9 weeks of play.

    You just need to send to one person once on the buy in and then that person just has to send out one payment a week, no big deal... and if someone ever has to miss a week or two they are only missing out on 5% of the prize pool.

    Just my opinion

    I don't know many sites I can actually play on. What site would the league be held on?

    Jasep said it perfectly, and I agree with the structure. The only problem we may encounter is when we play the final sit and go. If we can set different chip amounts for a single tourney it would be great, but we will have to ask Belly buster if it is possible.

    Ideally you would do something like

    50
    45
    40
    35
    30
    25
    20
    15
    10
    5

    for points and give every player 100 chips per point that he earns throughout the series, however, if the option doesn't exist in the software you could also do either of these two options...

    option 1

    rotate the games weekly so 2 rounds each of LHE, NLHE, PLO, O8 are played and the points leader picks which game the finals are played in OR

    You do a heads up tournament in the finals and 10,9,8 and 7 have to play off to get into the final 8 bracket with 7 playing 10 and 8 playing 9 and then seed the final 8 based on points.

    Sorry no the software is not clever enough to do this. As a workaround I can set the average starting chips and spend the first level chip dumping to get the stacks set.

    Maybe let the regular season winner decide the game and format of the final match. If you win the season and you want the final game to be a turbo short-stacked game of O8 (obv dependent upon what the room can handle), then that should be the final match. Winner's choice.

    You could also let the winner of each week decide the next week's tourney maybe.
