correct ... should be 3/5/06

I can play this week if there's going to be one. I'm off on monday.

Id love to do it weekly. But thats only if we can get 13-20 ppl who would agree to it and participate. If we can't, biweekly I spose.

I went ahead and schedule it for 3/12/06. I'll have the details up in a day or so. Biweekly seems to be working the best.

Right in the middle of the new Sopranos episode.

buy a TiVo you cheap bastard

I have a TiVo but, wont be using it during that time...not on the season premiere atleast...maybe if we could start it aroud 5...i'll be able to get knocked out 1st again...

So I booked it for the same time

same password as last time

Sorry about that Sopranos fans.

ak,
since we are playing for points to the finale, why dont we spread out the winnings farther out as I figure points are more important but having more people hit money would be nice. Even if we started at $1, double to $2 then $4 etc. I am playing every time not for the money per say but to try and score points as we all should. How does that sound if it makes since.

I been thinking about something like that. The initial point system was designed for some bigger tournaments. I 'll trow something together and see what you all think.

Bi weekly is fine with me. How many more matches do we have left?

I would like to see 4th & or 5th place win some $ if enough people show up & play i.e. we get 2 full tables or spill over to 3 tables. Not sure how you work that out though.

Anyway nice job setting this up AK!

We will play 6 and a final.. The only way FTP will start paying more than top three is when we get more players. It not something we can control.

Yeah if you want it to pay 4 places you need at least 18 to play.

That sounds reasonable.

Will the final night winner get more points or will it be a play off with only x number of players invited?

Heres what we initially posted. This was a format for a big field (30 plus) so we will need to revamp it a little bit. I might be able to do that tomorrow.. Im going to play cards live tonight (think I have a problem???)

• Attendance Pool Points for tournaments with less than 24 players will use the percentages for 24 player tournaments.

This method of awarding points is to ensure that the winner of a larger tournament is awarded more points than the winner of a smaller tournament, since it is more difficult to win a larger tournament, yet still provide more points to more players in a larger tournament.
• For example: Player A finished 3rd in a 48 player tournament and receives 2 Participation Points + 50 Placement Points + 29 Attendance Points, or 81 total points for the tournament. Player B finished 3rd in an 18 player tournament and receives 2 Participation Points + 50 Placement Points + 13 Attendance Points, or 65 total points for the tournament

Winning a tournament will qualify an automatic entry into the final tournament.
The final tournament will consist of these winners (6) and the top point leaders (12)
For a two table final tournament of 18.

I forgot I have free tix to a blackhawks/Redwings game on 3/12 at 6pm central in the club level. I haven't been to a hockey game in years because the hawks are so bad & ownership in Chi-town is worse but free tix & parking is still a free night out.

I think I will pull a Missing #7 & blind out & hope I get home in time with chips left. If nothing else I will at least get points toward the Jersey. MN7 is still in mid pack with his strategy!

Hell yeah dude! And you know if the tourney goes right, you could possibly place in the money too! Thats frickin comittment right there.
