Every 3rd Saturday of the month is a league game. Everyone is still invited regardless of being league players or not. Points and cash will be awarded for placing. Buy-in is $20.  $10 goes to the pot, $10 go to the "Championship Pot". There will be eleven (11) games and a Championship.  The Championship will be FREE and held December 11th.  In order to play in the Championship for free you must participate in all 11 of the 11 games, or the entry fee is $10 for each deficit (i.e. if you only played in 5, your entry would be $60--which goes to the pot). You must have played in at least five (5) games to play in the Championship.

The point system is based on the one used by pokerstars.net. We have altered it slightly:

score =
round ((5.0 * sqrt(# of players / player finish)) * (1.0 + (ln(buy-in + 1.0))))

One change this year is NOT providing a handicapped starting chip count at the beginning of the final game.  Everyone will start the final game with 10,000 tournament chips.

The biggest change will be no buy-ins for no-shows.  If you can't make it, you lose the points.  If you have reserved a seat and do not make it before the beginning of the first break, you will lose the buy-in opportunity, and you will get no points.

The League Rake will be used to pay for the following: The points leader after the final game will win $150. The remainder of the money will go towards the Championship game's pot.  So we could expect  $800 or more on a "free" game at the end of the year.
