Among many suggestions on this thread http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=39782.0

Was this one from Laxie.

I know of a much smaller forum where they did a 10 person league.  It was done over the course of 4 weeks, with a small weekly buy in ($5 or $10) to keep it interesting on the night.

Everyone involved had transferred the full amount required (for the seat plus expense) prior to the start of the league, so no worries about anyone backing out.

The thought was this - Everyone can have a bad night, so sending someone based on one luckbox tourney to the WSOP was a bit silly, but to give it to the person with the most points over the course of a few weeks showed consistency in that person and a better chance overall of actually cashing in the WSOP event.

Meanwhile, the other 9 had a small percentage share in that person at the WSOP event, which kept them interested right to the end.

They had so much interest, they had to run 2 or 3 leagues and have done so for the past few years.

Blonde is a much larger forum with a bigger player base.  I can't see how it wouldn't work.  And as Trace said, there's a draw to WSOP that won't be there for smaller local live events.

So lets say we run one ... it would mean 10 people putting up $250 making a pooled prize of $2500 (enough to buy in to the $1500 event & exes)

we then run a league for those 10 consisting of 4 games at a nominal $10 buy in per game (which would be paid out on the night) ... and the league winner after all 4 games gets the pool.

The other 9 people get a %

Say 10th - 3rd get 5%, Second gets 10%

winner plays for 50% of himself and gets a trip to Vegas.

Who would be up for it ?

we could possibly run 2 or 3 in the coming months ... would be nice.

But for now, first 10 who confirm interest will get first shot.

Couple of questions kev

When would you hope to get the 1st one of these started ?

Would the structure be the same as what the league games are or would it be different,obvouisly you've just started the ideas for this but just wondered ?

As soon as 10 people confirm, I will speak to the 10 and make arrangements with them on what days/time etc... and structure.

(majority decision wins obv... we will never get 10 people agreeing LOL)
