In Response to Re: Weekly PLO8 Bounty Hunter League - *New Weekly Prize Format Starts Monday 27th February* : the clues are all there if you search for them Dave :P pmsl UNIQUE ENTRIES 484 No of players BEST 10 SCORES BEST POS PLAYER PLYD SCORE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 only joking of course as you know bud, 484 which goes to show that the base of players is most definitely there, now, to get them to stay and play more, or put put it another way to get those who dip their toes to take the plunge full time. Posted by scouse_red
Haha Chris
Yup 484 is impressive IMO!
Regarding the bolded part, if I read between the lines you are suggesting a 'teatime' £2.20 PLO8 BH? And possible a £11 BH at some point in the evening with a £200 guarantee? :-)
Wow talk about a late injury time winner! Congratulations Mark, I really thought I had it in the bag but 17 in one night is an incredible effort. Posted by beanyuk85
That was very unlucky beany! It did look like you had it pretty much locked up.
I did have the advantage of knowing the score I had to beat so could really put the foot down, you didn't realise about the prize for the bounties and still clocked up 15.

In Response to Re: Weekly PLO8 Bounty Hunter League - *New Weekly Prize Format Starts Monday 27th February* : Yes, I awarded myself a prize of a cup of tea and a Yorkie bar for the 'best average'. The awards ceremony was Oscar like with me originally giving the tea and chocolate to my other half before taking it away and giving it to myself. Posted by Enut
And the monthly award for league winner goes to ......................... Markycash oops no no no its Conorshay.Wp much deserved congrats also to markycash most bounty's and don't forget pomfrittes first to get top 3 twice in one night. Enut's right its just like the oscars . Gl all in the month ahead.
Yes, thanks Koko! That should be you sorted for the £55 'Sherrif' NLHE MTT on Wednesday @ 9:pm Conor. I am playing the same one with my prize. Good luck! Posted by markycash

Nice 1 Gary!
I will update the opening post tomorrow clarifying rules etc for the new structure although they are 'generally' set out a couple of pages back.

just so as you are aware bud
the new structure is for the most heads weekly that's Mon - Sun and a jackpot prize for coming 1st in both tournies on a single night
the monthly league is now purely just for fun/bragging rights ............ I've copied Marks post from a couple of pages bk
From Monday 27th February things will look like this...
The same 7:15pm & 9:15pm nightly PLO8 Bounty Hunter £5.50 buy in £200 GTD games will count as is the case just now.
Prizes will be changing though. There will be a weekly prize (£33 tourney entry) for the person collecting the most bounties in a single evening (from any combination or the 2 games). Each week commences with the Monday evening games and concludes with the following Sunday evening games.
Win both of the nightly tourneys in 1 evening and get a £33 tourney entry (If more than 1 player does this then the 1st player to do so each month will win the prize).
To reduce admin - The volume of prizes will be less (although the cash amount is still roughly the same).
So things are easier to follow - The new system will be easier for any casual player/poster to glance at the rules and know what is going on (collect more bounties than anyone in a single evening or win both games).
Something to play for every night - Obviously the new system means there won't be any 'dead periods' where all the prizes have been sewn up. Someone could enter the games at any point in the month and collect the most bounties for an evening in that week.
To clearly encourage participation in both games - Although you can collect the most bounties in a single evening that week from just 1 of the games, both games count towards your evening total so it will obviously improve your chances to play both tourneys.
So that the system works for regs and casual players - Playing loads will clearly improve your chances but there is absolutely nothing stopping a casual player turning up and winning the lot.
The new system has been devised by listening to comments made from players, a suggestion from Hendrik and talking things over with Tikay and Chris to try and find a balance that works for everyone, both the players and Sky.
So what happens to the league standings tables now?
These will purely be for fun/bragging rights as no prizes will be attached to any monthly league standings. It will be entirely up to Chris if he wants to continue with these. Chris has indicated he may continue with these and may use the lowest score system used in Churchy (Brian's) Thursday league.
Many thanks to Chris for his efforts doing all the tables (I am not sure how often he is happy to post updates as to who currently has the most bounties from a single evening each week?). Also thanks to James, Tikay and Sky for supporting the games!
The first games that will count towards the new system are those on Monday 27th February.
Hope everyone enjoys the new system and good luck!
I will read over that post tomorrow and edit anything irrelevant and put it in the OP.
Yes, a nice simple format now, take the most heads in a single night for the week between the tourneys for a £33 ticket or win both tourneys on the same night for a £33 ticket.
here is the first look at the new table just to give you a feel of how it looks it obv includes most bounties, whether the jackpot has been won and, obv finishing positions in tournaments.
As you will see there are, as yet, no total scores, this is simply because I've set the weekly score to a minimum of 6 tournies to be played. Hope everyone is ok with that, but don't forget that it's only fun fun / bragging rights anyway.
