Coming soon…

A new tournament league running every Tuesday in late May / June.

What’s up for grabs?  A host of prizes – with the overall champion guaranteed TWO tournament entries, including a seat in the Sky Poker Tour Grand Final at DTD.

Full details will be revealed in the coming days and weeks, but here’s the essential info:

 

* Players will need to pre-register to take part in the league.

* Registration will be open from Saturday 14th to Saturday 21st May.

* The league begins on Tuesday 24th May and runs until Tuesday 28th June.

* For the first five weeks, all players will enter two events randomly selected from the evening tournament schedule (7pm-10pm).

* These tournaments could be No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha or Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Lo.

* Each tournament will cost no more than £5.50 to enter.

* That’s a total of ten tournaments over five weeks, costing a grand total of <£55.

* Six players will win prizes and advance to the “play-offs” – to be held in the sixth and final week.

 

If you have any immediate questions about the SKY REGIONAL LEAGUE, please ask.  And remember: registration opens on the forum this weekend!

    Good question, Rob.

    For the first five weeks, you'll be competing against players from your "region."

    So, for example, we'll find out who's the best tournament poker player in the north ;)

    Don't get too excited!  Wales will be part of the 'East'* - which will also include a fair chunk lot of England and, possibly, a bit of Scotland.


    * Before you say anything, someone's already spotted my appalling error!

    Will there be sufficient tournaments each Tuesday so that you can play only Holdem and no Omaha?

    Sonded good until the Omaha Hi-lo bit

    With so few ppl playing Omaha,  nevermind hi-lo on this site I think it  may of attracted more ppl by sticking with  NLHE, as the PL Omaha will put some ppl off and the hi-lo will put even more off

    I do like the idea of mixing the 2 discsiplines as its not been done before on here but the hi-lo is a different game altogethor and one that hardly anyone plays on this site

    I personally  think your trying to throw to many ideas into one competition

    Ideally I would have liked to see a regional NLHE comp and a seperate comp for NLHE + Pl Omaha mixed togethor to get an all round champ

    I will randomly select two tournaments each week.  All league participants will be expected to play both tournaments.

    Over the course of the first five weeks of the league, I envisage a balance of 60% NLHE (including Deep Stacks, Bounty Hunters & Turbos), 20% PLO and 20% PLO8.

    The mixing of disciplines HAS been done before.  And successfully!

    Both the OmaHartigan League and the recent All-Rounders' League attracted a lot of players who'd never played PLO or PLO8 before.

    But they were willing to give it a go - because the tournament buy-ins were low, the prizes up for grabs were awesome and they knew it would be fun.

    However, I understand if people don't want to enter this league, because they don't like Omaha, or have an irrational fear of the unknown.

    Actually James I think this "Regional" thing is a bit unfair.  

    As everyone knows all the best, of everything, comes from Scotland... including Poker Players ;o)

    Just checked my diary.  Good news is that I play only three evenings a week, Tuesday is one of those, Hurrah.  Checked diary for any special events on Tuesdays throughout qualifying and, Hurrah, I have no commitments.  Checked diary for the date of the Final on Tuesday 29 June and, Bum, my girlfriend has a significant birthday dinner party for 30 people.  Bum. 

    Options are (a) enter the competition with complete pessimism of not reaching finals, (b) take netbook to the restaurant and play the final, or (c) get a new girlfriend in July.

    Give me a minute to decide.
