Rules:

Final positions based on chip count (plus if 2 go out same time highest chip higher position).

The £ amount split to be agreed between the last players if no deal is done play on

(all players left must agree to a deal).

Minimum 4 for a deal (this may change depending on numbers)

Tables to be rebalanced at the end of the hands, next big blind moves table.

If a players going to be late someone can buy them in and they will lose a small blind every-hand after the first round of action up to the 1st break and if not back before we re-start they forfeit the cash.

 

Points:

Points will go 1 for lowest placed and 1 point for each place thereafter (with the winner getting 1 extra point). Ie 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, winner gets 7

 

Final:

You must play 7 of 11 games to qualify for the final up to a max of 32 players.

(You must pay £10 for any missed dates ie played 8 games you owe £30) NO EXCEPTIONS !!!!

For the final 30% of the £ will be taken out the league pot and top 3 will be paid at a rate of 50%, 30%, 20% plus £40 back for 4th place, then the rest we play for on the final night.

Final will be free but you can get a 25k chip top up for £30 (at the start of the game, no rebuys in final)

You will also get extra chips at the final based on league position (5k chips extra for lowest placed going up in increments of 5k, better league position better starting stack for the final)
