jimmiwhispers has joined the league at the last moment. This brings the league roster to 23, and the total prize pool to $460. I have decided to add the $20 to the second place pay spot, so the new payout structure is:

1st - $220
2nd - $120
3rd - $60
4th - $40
5th - $20

Total prize pool - $460

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.
