avongirl Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 Was sat with Crumble from EMS forum in a game tonight so mentioned the league to him and where to find details. Hopefully he might get some interest going over there. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 I'm going to register for this at least as an individual, but I'm not going to be able to play many of the games (at most one in three, probably). So I don't want to join a team where I'd feel I wasn't pulling my weight. But there's no downside to being part of a team. So are there two other players in a similar situation who would like to join Team Occasional? Team rules would be that team members should feel absolutely no responsibility to play any games all if they don't feel like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGremlin Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 I'm going to register too. I expect to play almost all the games, and will be searching for 2 other active players to storm the leader board... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGremlin Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Re: VIP-Team Drunk Maniacs - Full THIS IS THE SETUP FOR VIP-LEAGUE SEASON 3 IN GENERAL source: http://vippokerleague.com/ The new season starts on May 24th 2010. The VIP Poker League is run over a 15 week season, divided into three 5 week Mini-Seasons. Every week there are four online tournaments held on bwin for players to take part in. Participating players score points based on their finishing and can win prizes IN ADDITION to any money they win in the tournaments. These weekly tournaments are held on the following days : Tuesday - 8pm Wednesday - 8pm Thursday - 7pm Sunday - 7pm Each tournament is a $5 + $.50 buy-in with a GUARANTEED prize pool of $500! You don't need to take part in all four tournaments, as only your top two scores each week will count. If you are unable to make a couple of weeks because of work commitments or a holiday, we have the option of Joker Cards which you can use and automatically get your average score that week. The scoring system is very simple. You earn 1 point for entering a tournament, and 1 point for every person you finish ahead of. So in a 100 runner tournament, you would receive 100 points for winning and 5 points for finishing 96th. You also receive 1 point for every dollar you win in prize money. Only your best two scores each week count, but you can earn a bonus 5% on your weekly score for playing in three tournaments or a bonus 10% for playing in four tournaments. Teams must consist of three players, and the team score will be the total of their three team members. There will be two leagues keeping track of score - a Team League and an Individual League. WEEKLY PRIZES Each week, the highest scoring individual will win a $22 tournament ticket. This can be used in any qualifying bwin poker tournament. Each week, the three members of the highest scoring team will win a $22 tournament ticket. This can be used in any qualifying bwin poker tournament.

Hooloovoo Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 VIP Poker League Season 3 Received this: "I'm afraid I have some very bad news. We've just been told by bwin that the tournaments for The VIP Poker League will only be available to UK players. It seems that was their intention all along - with it being a UK focussed promotion - and assumed we were aware of the fact. We had no idea that certain tournaments would only be served to be in specifc geo-locations, and while we were very much focussing the marketing to UK players, we did not know that non-UK players would not even be able to take part. I am so, so sorry to be revealing this at this late stage - we honestly did not for one minute imagine such a scenario taking place. The good news, is that bwin want to work closely with us to make The VIP Poker League a success not just in the UK, but to expand it to other countries and offer them Live Finals in their own region. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen, of course, but we will certainly do all we can to make that happen. Again, my sincere apologies but there is really nothing I can do about this.

avongirl Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 Glad you mentioned this. I registered last night for 1st one, but that's now cancelled and it seems they haven't transferred names over to the new tourney and I need to re-register. However as runadrum has now registered it won't let me in. Will have to wait til I can log in at the other house. Actually, this is going to be a nightmare remembering to register from the right place. :wall Or one of us is going to be driving round trying to pick up someone's unsecure connection.

TheVPL Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 Over 100 registrations for the league now guys! Not quite at the 250 we needed to be for all the prizes to be 100% guaranteed, but at least most if not all of the individual tournaments should have enough to go ahead. And we will still be trying to attract more people to make sure that we have enough players to keep things going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 VPL. I am trying to downloads BWIN on my laptop and it saying there are connection problems. Is this long term or just a short term problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVPL Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 Staffy, I would suggest contacting bwin directly with technical queries. I've not had any other reports of problems and we have had a few new registrations today. If you don't get a swift response from bwin, please let me know and I'll see if I can do anything to speed up the process. Best advice I can give is to email them immediately and let them know exactly what error messages you are receiving. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
