Added prizes are courtesy of dt (http://www.dtdpoker.com/aff/BlonditesDownload)d (http://www.dtdpoker.com/aff/BlonditesDownload) and for that we thank them.

Post by: Flea on October 18, 2007, 11:10:49 PM Aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhh! I can't do Thursday's next month - although the way I've been playing recently a 50 point penalty would be better than my score.
May try and just play the Tuesdays anyway. Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: ifm on October 19, 2007, 12:31:55 AM LOL i finally get on permanent mornings but play darts tuesdays and thursdays...................
Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: AndrewT on October 19, 2007, 01:17:32 AM That blooming 'middling points for sitting out' scheme again.
Which rock is going to win in November? I think only those in the top twenty should get any credit at all - registering and sitting out should get you nothing. Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: Shogun112 on October 19, 2007, 01:52:21 AM Thur 8th and 27th are APAT online evenings..!!
Dont suppose anyone knows if we can play DTD and Blue Sq at same time..!!! Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: Ironside on October 19, 2007, 01:53:54 AM yes you can

Different networks so no problem... Its BlueSq and Blonde you cant play at the same time... Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!!

Registering and sitting out wont get you a top 5 at month end. or a blonde Bash win eh :D I quite agree, would it not be a good idea to only have positions 1 to 20 getting points or something like that? Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: AndrewT on October 19, 2007, 10:03:46 AM That blooming 'middling points for sitting out' scheme again. Which rock is going to win in November? I think only those in the top twenty should get any credit at all - registering and sitting out should get you nothing. Registering and sitting out wont get you a top 5 at month end. Fair enough - forgot it was the team aspect which made sitting out a viable strategy in the last leaderboard. Though registering and sitting out will mean you avoid the 50 point penalty if you are unable to take part in six games. Maybe it might be best to only open registration on the day of the tournament, to reduce no-shows. As we're seeing in the Tuesday games at the moment tables with half the players sitting out, who don't get blinded out for two and a half hours, are a real pain in the arse. But I still think that the points should be restricted somehow - the difference between 3rd and 4th should matter more than that between 48th and 49th. Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!!

Superb comp.. :)up Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: technolog on October 19, 2007, 05:35:17 PM Well done Blonde and DtD especially King Kev!
As part of the uber-consistent Team Bluffer I will be looking to prove I'm nothing on my own. Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: Geo the Sarge on October 19, 2007, 05:48:41 PM Things just get better and better.......great job Kev & DTD.
Geo Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: sharky_uk on October 19, 2007, 06:02:11 PM Good work! Sounds like this will be a great league to replace the Team Challenge.
I think the scoring should be done like it was in the last Individual Blonde League where the top 10 score as shown below and the remaining players do not score. 1st - 10*n 2nd - 9*n . . 9th - 2*n 10th - 1*n where n = Number of players in tournament With the best 6 scores per player to count Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: Shogun112 on October 19, 2007, 06:06:08 PM I AM looking forward to this new comp... I do need to ask a question though..!!!
50 points for someone who does not turn up... what if 150 people play the league?? then 50 points is surely a benefit..!! Me thinks a better idea is needed.. Maybe like we do right now in the team league, like number of players plus 10... Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!!

Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: Colchester Kev on October 19, 2007, 06:10:20 PM The rules are set for this month, if it needs tweaking, we can do so for December.
Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: jizzemm on October 19, 2007, 06:43:15 PM I think the rules like we have now is better, hell of a difference between getting 11 and get nothing and say 9th getting 2pts * number in tournament...
It will keep people interested longer as you score each game, no matter how low or high it is.. Great Comp though Kev Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: ericstoner on October 19, 2007, 07:00:26 PM More and more good work, from the champ...............................i'll be in these cold winter nights what else could i do than play.

Looking forward to this. Nice one. Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: redsimon on October 20, 2007, 06:17:57 AM Do we need to notify whoever is keeping score if our ids are different on blonde and dtd?

Nice value. you'll need DTD poker client too...see link in Kev's initial post Title: Re: NEW BLONDE/DTD LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: Flea on October 25, 2007, 07:29:08 PM Hi,
not sure if this is the right thread for this question but I have a problem with the DTD software, I recently signed up and opened an account but everytime I play it plays ok for a while and then starts auto-folding my hands for 2 or 3 hands running and then going back to normal - this occurs every 10 minutes or so. I've checked each time that none of the auto-play checkboxes are marked but cannot see any reason why it does this? (any ideas??) Was really narked when I got close to the money in my first tourney on there and then it auto-folded AA and 10 10 in consecutive hands and then bizarrely put me all-in for 7 times the BB with 93 off!! honest I never touched a thing and the timer hadn't even started for my turn on any of these hands. Unless anyone has any idea what I can do about it I won't be using my account again. Title: Re: NEW LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!!

Post by: TEX FITZ on October 31, 2007, 01:41:19 PM forgive me for ignorance, am i right in thinking after adding all totals for 6 games, the person with the LOWEST points will win ?
Just wanted to clarify as i intend playing, i didn't play in the team league so not fully up-to-date with rules Title: Re: NEW BLONDE/DTD LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!!

Just wanted to clarify as i intend playing, i didn't play in the team league so not fully up-to-date with rules Yes, the winner is the one with the LOWEST points as obviosuly the higher he places in each game the lower his total score will be at the end of the month. Title: Re: NEW BLONDE/DTD LEAGUE FOR NOVEMBER !!! Post by: Colchester Kev on October 31, 2007, 11:04:34 PM First of the comps is on the 6th on blonde, the first on DTD is on 8th.

;ashamed; (You'll feel better knowing that I beat kings again with the twos - but this time the money went in when I was ahead on the flop when I'd hit a set).
