Rules update!

After some thought, I am adding one more rule to the league.

NO DEAL MAKING

If you are caught making a deal at the final table, you will automatically be assigned the lowest ranking of the players remaining when the deal was made.

Here is an example scenario:

You are heads-up with a player that is NOT in the league. You tell him that you will give him some of the first place money if he lets you win (thus earning yourself additional league points). In this scenario, you be ranked 2 in the tournament, even if you win. You cannot make a deal to increase the league points you get in any given tournament.

I will be capturing the hand histories, which will show all chat at the final table, so beware.

Tiebreakers...

I have come up with the following system to break ties in the standings (in the pay spots) when all is said and done.

1. Money leader

I will add up the cashes for all players tied, and the money leader will take the top spot.


2. Head to Head

If there is still a tie, whether there are two people or more tied in the standings, I will break the the tie using a head to head scoring system. For example, if three players are tied, I will rank all three players based on their weekly finishes. In this tiebreaker I will use ALL 12 weeks. 3 points for finishing highest, 2 for second, 1 for third.

If there is still a tie after applying the two tiebreakers, the players will remain tied. For example, if first pays $100 and second pays $50, and there is tie for first, the players will each win $75.

If you have any objections with these tiebreak rules, or a better idea, please use the comment section to voice your opinions.

PT Poker League Season 1 Registration

All,

I just sent an email to everyone on the interest list outlining the registration/payment procedure for Season 1 (January 5th to March 23, 2009). If you didn't get this email, it is because you are not on the interest list below.

Payment is due by 6:00pm EST on January 5th, so I can announce the payout structure prior to the first tournament.
