New Team Challenge proposal

[GaF]

I've been giving some thought to the format of the existing Team Challenge and trying to think how it could be improved for future Team Challenges. The format I've come up with is as below. Any feedback on this (or the existing team challenge) would be welcome :ok - individual or teams are ok - though I'd expect more individuals and smaller teams with this format (depending on time span) - Will be a nominated SnG MTT challenge (or maybe a regular Scheduled MTT event). At a speicifed site (Probably a site PL is currently working with to bring us value added promos), the second SnG MTT to start after a specific time will be the "focus" (sounds complicated but honestly it's not - For example it it were Pokerstars SNG180s after 6pm BST, then at 6pm, the tourney currently registering is let go and the next one to start registering will be the selected event - this is to ensure the maximum time is available for people to register) -There will be no declarations or nominated players - everyones alias on this site will be known and we will look to see who is playing - the team member for each team with the fewest games played for the team is the person whose score will count - where more than one person falls into that category, it will be the team member that comes first alphabetically. - This will run over a fixed period - say 14 consecutive evenings - Opening team bankrolls will start at 14xBuyIns plus minimum player to player transfer value on pokerstars - so if a team play and lose all their games, they still have enough that they need to make the minimum transfer (transfers within a team will be up to the teams to sort out themselves). Team to Team transfers will be through Pokerstars - with any accompanying play through requirments this throws up. Players enter in the knowledge that any winnings received may need to be played through before being withdrawn. - We are still playing for everyone elses bankroll Just to be clear - I will NOT be changing the existing challenge in any wholesale way along these lines - this suggestion is solely for any future challenges I think the main weaknesses of the existing challenge I've tried to deal with: - The biggest nightmare, both as an organiser and as a player seems to be the whole nominations and declarations process, and the rules surrounding eligible games. This new format does away with that totally :) :) This should massively reduce the rules and the bureaucracy. No need for screenshots of lobbies or results. - This will run for a fixed time period, rather than a completely unknown period of time

Re: New Team Challenge proposal "- This will run for a fixed time period, rather than a completely unknown period of time" How about a set amount of bankroll OR a certain date determined beforehand? In fact, I wouldn't mind setting an end date on our current challenge (like till the end of the summer) if we take much longer about hitting $500
