GaF Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Re: Heads-Up League 20 players would be 38x2 games each (assuming 1 division) - or is it 19x2? - any clues on intended timespan to play these games? Would like to suggest some thought be given to the contingency where some players dont play all their games/drop out before completing - I think it's probable for one reason or another that it will happen...

Would like to suggest some thought be given to the contingency where some players dont play all their games/drop out before completing - I think it's probable for one reason or another that it will happen... Billy mentioned other prizes on offer - best winning streak for example - which would hopefully keep the interest of those who are without a chance of winning the league. I had had that thought (about people dropping out) too, and was going to suggest a Premier League Poker type format. Say 18 of us, play 6-handed preliminary heats, each person plays 4 heats, points according to finishing position in each heat 10-7-5-3-2-1, the top 5 advance to final, and the next 6 in the league play a 6-man stt to determine the final place in the final. Cash prizes to top 3 in the final. That should pretty much keep most in with a chance of at least hitting the play-off zone right til the final heats. But the big problem I thought of with that was that you're needing 6 peeps to be free to play their heat at the same time, as opposed to just the 2 in a HU league.

Cheers Samba, and yeah there are a few ideas I have. An entry fee up front helps people sticking with it too, not for a minute suggesting people won't pay after, I mean that once paid I'm hoping that people will stick/take it seriously. :ok Like I said, prize for longest winning streak, best HE, PLO player, longest unbeaten streak. More ideas weclome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will wait till I know exact numbers before I finalise everything but I reckon 2 games a week. In fact, I'm going to cap this at 20 players. Potentially only four places left!!!

billy the punter Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Re: Heads-Up League Based on 20 players it will be something like this... $400 collected $150 added by me $550 total prize fund Winner $240 Runner-up $120 3rd $60 4th $40 Longest winning streak $50 Longest unbeaten streak $40 Anyone who fails to complete will lose their place for the following season. If anyone does I can only suggest a 2-0 win for the opponents for the game missed. Do you think 1 game a week would be better? As some are online less often than others.

avongirl Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Re: Heads-Up League I would think 2 ties a week is feasible especially if it's left up to us to arrange when we play. I guess if two people really couldn't manage to arrange a time for their tie one week it can be carried over and played asap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadlydaveLDN Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Re: Heads-Up League Given that we've got all these different variantions, would it make sense to add Stud, Stud H/L + 8-game?
