PT Poker League FAQ

Might as well get the ball rolling on this. I will update the FAQ as we go.

Q: What is the PT Poker League?
A: The PT Poker League is a series of 12 Phantasy Tour Private Poker tournaments, held at 9:00PM EST every Monday on Full Tilt Poker. Members of the league can accumulate points based on their final table finishes in the weekly game. The top point getters after 12 weeks will win a share of the prize pool.

Q: How much does it cost?
A: For the first season we will set the entry fee of $20, with 100% of the pool being distributed to the winners.

Q: What additional costs will I have?
A: Each weekly tournament costs $11, with $10 going into the prize pool for that individual tournament, and $1 going to Full Tilt as a tournament fee. If you play all 12 weeks of the tournament, it will cost you $132.

Q: When does the first season start?
A: Week 1 of Season 1 will be Monday January 5th, 2009. ALL league entries must be paid prior to the start of that tournament.

Q: How do I get points?
A: After a little discussion, it looks like we will go with the points structure below:

1st - 100 points
2nd - 80 points
3rd - 60 points
4th - 40 points
5th - 30 points
6th - 20 points
7th-9th - 10 points

Remember, your finish position is counted regardless of non-league members in the PT Tournament. That is, if someone NOT in the league wins the tournament, no 100 point result will be added that week.

Q: What if I can't play every tournament?
A: Your top 10 finishes in the PT Tournament will count towards league scoring. That means that you can miss 2 of the weekly tournaments over the course of the 12 week season without having that impact your scores.

Q: What if I lost my connection through no fault of my own, and I am blinded out of a tournament?
A: This is all part of Internet poker. All tournament results, according to the Full Tilt Hand History text file will be final.

Q: How do I pay my entry fee?
A: I will be acting as treasurer for the league. It seems like Full Tilt account transfers are the easiest method of payment. More information on payment instructions will be released as the start of the first season nears.

Q: How many people will win money, and how much will they win?
A: This will depend on how many members we get. At an absolute minimum, the top 3 finishers will win cash. This will be finalized at least 2 weeks before the first tournament that counts towards league points.
