Other info: A total of £917.00 was collected in this years Poker League. £750.00 + £50.00 reg (for finishing first in the play-off) went to Nigel Phillips in the form of a ticket into the Saturday 8th December competition in the Luton Christmas Festival. £100.00 + £10.00 reg (for finishing second in the play-off) went to Rick Hill in the form of a ticket into the Sunday 9th December competition in the Luton Christmas Festival. All remaining monies in the pot (£7.00) went towards buying new playing cards. Neither Nigel nor Rick were available to play in their competitions and so Nigel nominated Darren to play in his place, and Rick nominated Curtis to play in his place. Nigel and Rick still keep their percentage that they earned in the play-off.

Poker League Details
This years Poker League started on 27th January 2007
Each tournament we play will have a 10% additional charge which will be put into a savings account.
For each game played in, 2 points will be awarded - so if you come to all 3 tournaments, you make 6 points on the day.
Additionally, if you make a final table appearance, you will be awarded the following points:
1st - 10 points
2nd - 8 points
3rd - 6 points
4th - 5 points
5th - 4 points
6th - 3 points
7th - 2 points
8th - 1 point
The league will run for approx. 11 months.
At the end of the 11 months, we will have a "play-off" for the main prize. This will be a buy in for a chosen event/events (depending on how much money is collected) in the festival at Luton in December 2007. The play-off will be in November 2007. The play-off date will be decided at least a month prior to the game, so that everyone knows whether they can make the play-off or not.
The top 16 people in the play-off are the ONLY people permitted to play. If anyone drops out of the top 16, their place will NOT be filled by 17th or 18th place etc.
The top 16 players will have their top 10 scores/points calculated to determine the amount of chips they get to start with in the "play-off". So, for example, if you win every game over the 12 month period (I know it's unlikely but this is hypothetical!!) then you would have accumulated 12 points per game (2 just for entering and 10 for 1st place). Times that by 10 (top 10 scores taken into account only) which gives you 120 points. We will then times that by 50 to give you your starting chips of 6000. The "play-off" will be No Limit Texas Hold'em. We anticipate an average starting stack of 4000 at points count.
Your top 10 scores will be taken into account AS WELL AS including the 2 points for every game attended. This is basically "rewarding" those who come more often. So the moral is, the more games you come to, the more points you will start with in the play-off.
When the play-off has been won, the person who wins will play in the tournament that we choose and that person will play for 50% of any prize he/she wins. The remaining 50% will be split between the other 7 players who made the final of the play-off. The percentage structure is as follows:
1st = 50% of any winnings
2nd = 19% of any winnings
3rd = 12% of any winnings
4th = 8% of any winnings
5th = 5% of any winnings
6th = 3% of any winnings
7th = 2% of any winnings
8th = 1% of any winnings
So basically, the person that wins the play-off is playing for the other 7 finalists as well as themself.
The Tournament Director has exclusive right to disallow any player from entering the playoff at her discretion.
Good luck to everyone who participates.
