Upgrade - PokerOwned League Games? -

[Paisleysky]

I played in league games on the Wass poker forum which is now defunct, for several years. We played on Carbon and then when Wass Poker opened we played there. It was called The Bragging Rights league.
Teams could have unlimited members - But only, I think 5 players could actually play per game.
1 game Sat and 1 game Sun.
Points were given out to the top 20 finishers in each game, more pts the closer you were to 1st.
At the end of the month...the team with the most points won a private game for real money paid for by the forum.
Teams were started by their captains originally and then voted in or out after that, month to month.
The captains had final say on who was in or out of the team.

I was a captain for a couple months, it was a demanding job in terms of organizing who was going to play every weekend etc. For example in the case of no shows right before the game, you have to have standins. And then if you have plans as the captain you have to have someone capable of doing all the organizing for you etc.

"Team play" is different then regular play. You chip dump to your team mates early on in the game when they are low, but not as much in the later part of the game. Some teams used Instant Messaging between player at the same table, telling each other what they were holding. This helps decide who is going to play the hand as most of the time you don't want your own players in the same pot together.

Can't think of anything else helpful at the moment...I'm sure more will come to me. We had a lot of fun playing together!

What if we did something simple like.. If you are part of the league, you get taxed +5 points per coupon which gets added to the prize pool... I could see people abusing that so every game you play in you get deducted 5 points which gets added to the prize pool.

Captain has to pay XX to create the team (Let's say 100 points).

Then he can start recruiting players

-----------------------------------------------

Issue is, what do we do at the start of the new month? Disband all teams or give the captain an option to keep his same team or?

So the buyin would be coupon and the prizepool in the game would be just like a freeroll? I would say a new league every month and the captain has the option with its players so there wont be a lot of issues with not showing up.

This, I like. Yeah at the end of the month just give the team captains the option to disband or keep the same team.

Ya thats the question, how \ when do we form teams? There will be a delay? Can teams enter late?

I would say you keep the same teams but people have the option to leave a team certain periods of times..

Maybe we don't have captains? I dont know

yes, teams can join whenever they want, entering late they will be in disadvantage, but thats up to them;

people are free to leave team whenever they want (The team however still gets to keep the scores you made from the events you played in while you were a member) ;

I still think a captain is required, we will still need someone to hire/fire members;

Sounds like it could be fun. I like the raffle so far.
