With reference to May, I was going to run similar again starting next week


That ok with everybody?

Happy to hear suggestions of what you would change, if anything. If there is a consensus on anything we'll implement it

[EvilPie]

Possibly make a change to the Wednesday bonus.

It's very difficult to win without getting one of those unless your name starts and finishes with an 'h'.

[Laxie]

Ran well with no pressure on anyone to play certain dates as such.  Deffo prefer it this way - as and when you can play.  As for the bonus points, 6 of one half dozen of another as far as I'm concerned and happy to go with whatever the rest of ye think.

[kinboshi]

Right, I can win this.  Just need to play three tournies tonight and finish first in all three.

Simples.

Feck off!!!  That's MY plan!  Get yer own damn plan.   

[kinboshi]

How about leaving it as it is, but scrapping the Wednesday bonus and instead having a blonde-only tournament once a week where the top three get bonus points (2, 3 and 5 points maybe) towards the monthly league?

Would be fun when it gets to the end of the month and it gets personal.  Might be huge flaws in this idea, I haven't really thought it through.

[rex008]

I don't get a great deal of poker time in my life, but the Wednesday bonus certainly has encouraged me to play more, which is obviously the plan. The league itself has been great, obviously rewards more frequent players, but again, that is fine, and I'm sure everybody understands that. The bonus does give the less frequent players a better chance, so I personally would prefer to keep it. If it makes it a bit unbalanced, maybe reduce it to 5 points?

A blonde only tourney would be fine with me too, as long as it is on days I can actually play .

Oh, and I'll be in tonight, 3.5k and 4k. That bonus is miiiiiine.

[technolog]

I'm happy to keep things as they are.

[Laxie]

The problem with blonde only tourneys where points are involved - as we've seen in the past - a good few don't bother if they aren't in the running towards the end of the month. 

Just as well to keep it to the regularly scheduled MTT's.  Then there's no pressure to get the numbers...just the finishing spots.

Maybe cut the Wednesday bonus in half...and even have two days a week where you can get a 5 point bonus?

This.

It also makes more admin for Tighty which can only be a good thing.

In all 3 tonight - final push for the summit
