The first month of this kicks off in 40 minutes! (see opening post for full details)
Assuming the numbers keep up and we get to the second month... There will probably be a few changes to the scoring system for the league points, a couple of issues have been spotted and Chris is working on a more effective system. For the first month we can just go with what we have though and see how everything pans out

Will def play this when I can xcept Mondays as it's DTD. Unfortunately, my brain...I mean pooter can't cope with more than 4 x tables. If I bomb out early (which only happens once a week) you might see me at 9:15.
Gl ALL and a BIG TY to Chris. Hero again.... terrible colours but still a hero. ;-)

Pomfrittes wins the FT Jackpot on night 1 of the league by winning the £5.50 BH (despite having a very tricky opponent :-p) and also finishes 2nd in the £11 BH. Very well deserved Pom and you showed great sportsmanship heads up by going slow when your opponent was disconnected!
Will contact you about the £55 (5 x £11 tickets) Pom.
It was a great start to the league tonight. The £11 hit its guarantee with 31 runners and the £5.50 smashed its record and got 68 runners.
Hopefully see you all tomorrow night, still the monthly league and most bounties in a single night prizes to play for.
I'm not sure how often Mark would like me to post the overall leaderboard as technically no-one actually gets a score until they've played 10 games. however I'll just post the top 10 places as it stands after the first night to give youa flavour of how it looks
GL to everyone tonight and especially to a couple of new players to Sky who said they will come and play some games tonight Milena and Helen (Helen's usual poker alias was Hels Bels, not sure if it is the same on Sky).
Very well played Bill. As Mark says Pomfrittes gets the first ever prize awarded in this league for his top 3 finish in both tournies on one night and it will probably come as no surprise to learn that he currently leads the Bounty leaderboard too FIRST PLAYER TO FINISH IN TOP 3 IN BOTH PLAYER 7.15 9.15 pomfrittes 1 2 WIN MOST NIGHTLY BOUNTIES TO DATE PLAYER 7.15 9.15 TOTAL pomfrittes 7 6 13 Posted by scouse_red
Thanks Chris, thoroughly enjoyed last night's games, format obv suits my uber tight style
I think this is a great league and well done for starting it however just a bit of early feedback though it seems the overall monthly results will be dependent on the 7.15 tourney results rather than the 9.15 one. The 7.15 has far more runners so a decent run will gain far more points in what should be an easier tournament as the buy in is lower.
For example winning the 9.15 last night would have got 41 points, the same as finishing 15/61 in the 7.15.
Would be fairer to us an adjustment factor to give the 9.15 equivalent weighting or is that getting far too picky for what is in effect a bit of fun?
Or maybe separate monthly prizes for 7.15 and 9.15 results?
Just my two penneth worth, tell me to s*d off if you want!

It is a fair point Enut. Me and Chris both noticed this a few days ago and Chris has found a solution. We didn't change anything for this month as it was a bit late in the day. Couldn't agree more with your point though and we can change it for month 2 of the league

Mark beat me to it lol,
I'm working on it as we speak Enut and will have it in place for next month's league. I'm gonna do some dry runs to make sure it's all good to go first tho, and, as Mark says it's a bit late now for this one
Glad your enjoying it ......... and feedback is great
I agree with the above points. I wouldn't over adjust though, as beating a larger field has its merits as does winning in a larger BI event.
It's a case of trying to finding the right balance between encouraging recs to play who are only rolled for the £5 er and encouraging those who can play both to play both.
At the moment it is skewed to the £5er, it would be better EV to play all the £5s and no £11 rather than both for half the nights.
If you go too far and make it better EV to play the £11er every night than both for half the nights then that would potentially affect the good numbers in the £5er.
Not easy - don't envy you - wish I had a suggestion that solved this perfectly, but unfortunately I don't.

Cheers m8, hope the fingers are ok. Did a bit of hanging on myself last night.
