Blonde/DTD September Online Leagues

[TightEnd]

If Flushy and/or/preferably both tikay can commit to 1-2 nights a week for a month I'll happily go back to a Private League format, with some added value, bounties and cash tables after.

and my deadline for setting up is Thursday next week

Over to the bosses.

Forgive me for being niave, but aren't dtd adding the value to get more players on their site? and if so, if the blondes just play the 1 or 2 private league games a week then theres not much in it for them? Sorry if im wrong...

You are not wrong, but getting players onto the site has to start somewhere....the assumption being they'll play more than just these, you'd hope.

I think Matt's right in there's only so much that can be done.

My suggestion would be a private league with Tikay and/or Flushy playing in them.The winner of the league gets the full package of both 300 + 150  and to have bounties placed on a different Blondes head every game and if you bust that person you get 5% of the person who wins the league.

Am I wrong in thinking there was no added value for a lot of those 18 months ? If not then ignore me

mostly correct.

Basically I need plenty of indications that people WILL play a Private MTT league to put it on.

Scouts honour I will play

I played some of these, but I have not played any of the new variant simply because I don't fancy them. I just play an hour or two most nights and mainly stt. For the old monthly league games I happily played if I was free. If you go back to that type of format then I will probably be there, (i was never bothered that much about the additional value for being top of the league). I think there was always a problem of what night was best. My view on that was if I know well enough in advance then I can plan around it for most of the time.

If you want to attract more people then perhaps something along the vein of the Hendon mobs current league set up may be useful, (I don't know the numbers that play). You would need to run something over a longer period than one month, (why not 3/6 month period?), with a slightly sexier incentive than an entry to the DTD deepstack, (no offense meant as I have been there and it is a good tourney but it is a regular event now).

From a personal point of view i didnt know about these leagues until a couple of weeks ago - so maybe a bit more spamming of threads should take place.
I was however intending to take part next month.
I have to say though that i used to prefer the Blonde league games that took place due to the great banter.
 My idea, based around what others have proposed would be:

Blonde only mtt's - maybe 3 a week (all the league games used to take part on a weds which i normally cant play - 3 nights would give people plenty of opportunities to play)
This would mean 12ish tournies a month - best 3 or 4 scores count, so people would still have a reason to play even if they were away for a couple of weeks.
$10 + $1 entry fee - that way 12 tourneys with 30 players would generate $360 in rake, plus any additional tourneys that people played.
Points awarded for finishing positions, plus additional bonus points for bounties for 'special guest' players.
Winner gets entry to £300 DTD tourney + expenses (no excuses for anyone then) with 2nd, 3rd and 4th each getting a small % of the player.

I understand it is a lot of setting up - but with the amount of people on Blonde it really shouldnt be an issue getting 30 or 40 to take part in these on a regular basis.

Just my two pennies worth

Another suggestion

I think the prize of a live seat at DTD is financially not viable to a lot of players who would have to pay hotel/travel cost etc if they dont live in the area.

Maybe a seat into an online game would attract more players?

I recall many moons ago when I was new to blonde they were running a promotion for Mansion. I cant remember the details but I won a seat into the Sunday night $200 buyin. I was a $2/5 sit and go player so this was a HUGE deal for me. I went on to cash the min for $500 :-) Maybe some new/low stake players might be encouraged to play the league if they can still sit behind a keyboard in their PJs ;-)

Agree with this suggestion for prizes. I enjoy current format as I live close to DtD , if I didn't I guess I wouldn't play the online MTTs as much.

As to format, I'll play whatever one is decided (as long as its not only on Tuesday nights)

Yeah, back able to play again and off work until 7th October weeee and all that.

The league format is a difficult one. I quite like this as it offers flexibility for those of us who might not be able to play a certain night. An online buy-in might be a better prize (from the point of view of making money), but I live miles from anywhere so an excuse to get somewhere like DTD is quite nice.

How about something like stick with the current format but put a Blonde only tournament in there (once a week) with extra points for knocking out Tikay/Flushy if they are able to commit to it. You could also have bonus points for winning the Blonde only tournament. Not sure how you make that work for two leagues though. Have one tournament with a €10 buyin and you can pick what league you want your points to go into? Or is that too complicated? I seem to have confused myself.

Anyway back to trying to do something about h in this micro league will edit post later when I figure out what Iam playing.

OK I actually going to play tonight, registered for the €6.60 at 8pm will probably play some more wait and see. Going to play the APAT on Betfair as well.

Tighty - I assume the 20:15 €5+0.50 counts for the micros? Regged for it anyway.
