If everyone in the league has sufficiently deep pockets that losing a few hundred is trivial, then quarter-a-point should be fine. But if the money means anything to a player, I think having a per-point payoff will lead to more people quitting. I don't know what buy-in people were planning on, but if, for example, it's $100, then the per-point system could cost some players more than their buy-in. Say a player played 12 games and had the misfortune (or played so badly) that he went 2-10 with an average points per game of -50. He would lose 1.5 times the buy-in (12 x 50 x 0.25 = $150) in points. I haven't seen all of the results from this tourney, but my biggest win was +178 points, which would have been worth $44.50 (or almost half the buy-in) at $0.25/pt. |

OneByPhi goes to 10-1 after squeaking by Ctrevino by 1 point with an unbelievably lucky comeback in the last 4 deals. |

New to the forum. Definitely want to get involved. If the potential of a significant loss beyond what the "buy-in" or what was the anticipated amount one could lose is a significant concern, there are a lot of ways to address said concern. |

MeGrimlock was complaining that the summary hand histories are sometimes hard to read. This is your chance to vote for more display options: http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...48#post2195848 | |

What's going on with the league? Is the "regular season" over? Have the playoffs started? If so, who is in the playoffs? What were people's final records? What are the seeds? Info would be great, thanks. |

Hey guys, not sure where all the confusion was since I did, in fact, post something about what was going on. |

Since there's no cash involved, it's really no big thing. However, if this ever turns into a cash game, I think it's important to make a united effort to make sure that all games get played in a timely fashion, that all results are immediately posted in the forum, and that the standings are updated after every game. This doesn't have to be a lot of work for whoever ends up as the "commissioner"/"banker" for the game--the players can do this. Eric and I consistently posted our results, and it always took me less than 1 minute to do so. If everyone would do this, and if the current standings were always posted (so that a player could easily copy-paste-edit to reflect the result of his latest game), I think it would go a long way not only to satisfy information junkies like me, but to keep everyone's interest engaged. But when the time between games drags on and no one has a clear idea where they stand, it's easy to just blow the whole thing off. |

So the SAC league is dead? I've heard nothing for a week. Again, since money isn't involved, it's no tragedy, but if any of the guys in this league ever want to be involved in a league again, please take the lesson of what happens when things don't move quickly forward and information is not immediately and widely shared. |

Yo, this OFC Pineapple League was a trial run ...it was for fun ...and it was not the focal point of my life over the last few weeks. |

Okay. I apologize for crossing over the line. I didn't intend it as a rip at you, but as lament that the league seemed to wither away out of apathy. There had been talk that it would evolve into a serious league with cash entries and prizes, and I guess I got my hopes up that that would happen. I love this game, and although I play fairly frequently in small-stakes live cash games in Seattle, there's nowhere to play in casinos around here, and no opportunity that I am aware of to play in a cash tourney of the type we had discussed, which I think would be really fun. I apologize if expressing my disappointment came off as blasting you. Good luck in the FTR league. |

No worries, it's all good. We all enjoy this game a lot and we'll keep playing it together one way or another. | |

Are we just going to say that OneByPhi won the league and I came in 2nd or are we going to play this out? | |
