Hello Replacements,
I thought this might be the best way to go over what is being discussed , first being how the league is set up.
1. We could run separate, all teams in one holdem and omaha leagues; a new twist into the league again. This gives us the option to run the leagues parallel --as the plan is to play one game every two weeks. Teams participating in both leagues then have two games in two weeks. Should be doable. Also, let us know if your team wants to play one or both leagues. If only one then tell us which one.

****Of the two choices this is the one i would rather have, it puts all teams on equal ground at the beginning of the season, we can play omaha if the team wishes and we have enough players.

1.1) We could do the following: Run the season with division 1 and 2 (holdem only); if there is 2 divisions, there is a reason for all teams to play and not lose the spirit of the league till the end.
1st division : Some teams will play for the title, some will play not to be relegated in 2nd division.
2nd Division : Some will play to reach division1 and we saw this year, that there would have been 6 teams able to get there this year. Was a nice "fight".
At the end of season 2010-2011 we could have 2 winners 1 from each div or
winner of div1 and winner of div2 will play the final game for the title of 'league winner 2010-2011' ?

Promotion/Demotion. The top 2 or 3 from 2nd will be promoted and bottom 2 or 3 from 1st Div relegated . This is a way to create the two divisions only.

Also, this prevents the teams, having a bad season, not to give up half way because there is nothing to win or lose. We think this is an important point. Think well about your choices. Also, there will be a separate omaha league set up with same structure.

**** I dont believe we need this system at all, as far as i know no teams gave up or quit the league because they could not win.I dont believe there is a need for a major and minor league system, because we really dont have enough teams or players, and i dont think people want to be classed in a game we play for fun.


(2) As far as rules and appeals are concerned: we best make it a one player/team committee. Again, each team nominates the representative ( does not have to be the captain). Tia will have a tie breaker vote if need arises. Other suggestions to improve the general rules should be communicated now as well.

****This sounds very fair to me, we can figure out who our representative is when they want.

(3) We would like to hear your ideas regarding the scoring format. There are three options that would be possible. 1) as it has been, 2) as the WC has used (5 extra points for winning team) and 3) winning team scores 3 points, losing team gets 0 points (total team points are used to separate teams ending with same amount of points)

**** I never seen a problem with they way it was done so either way works for me.


I posted this here so we all could comment on what we thought of there agenda, it seem we havent been able to hook up for an msn convo and we have some new players, so please post here with your comments and i will post what we come up with in the proper thread.

Thanks Buddy

umm goober, you know how i feel so just a waste of time posting for me, but everyone else?
any thoughts on the matter?

bumpity bump bump

Why did you have a hard time finding this thread Jake?

Can you find the only blind man in a nudist colony?

Well guys now that you found our secret club house, please read my latest post and give me your opinion of the agenda,,,

Thanks Buddy

cheffy, this is all new to me so im good with whatever. I know that is not a good answer but until i get into this team play and understand all the scoring and all thats the best i can do

I don't want to sound cliche, but i too am with you cheffy, you seem to have a good grip on the situation, i think the way things have run in the past with scoring and appeals etc, have all worked well so why change something that's not necessarily broke, however, the league with divisions I don't really have a full opinion on as I said before, i just want to play poker and improve my game whilst having fun doing so. Cheers cheff, probably not helpful but you are doing a fantastic job as spokesman, so thanks......

Pez

PS. Oh and welcome to ubuntu and jake, you have no idea what you've let yourselves in for....but I'm sure you'll cope.....and cheff forgot to mension his gravy, don't ever critisize it ok!!!! lol

pez im sure cheffys gravy is delicious, after all he is a cheff heehee. i do believe i can handle anything uall throw at me also, cuz im quite ornery myself. talk to ya soon jake

Hey Capitana Lolita and Vice Capitano Cheff, I was just wondering about whether or not we ought to change or re-register out team name??? The reason I say this is that this team was founded last year as a new team by Dadeadly (dad) who no longer participates with us and I believe there is only Bry and myself who were originally in the team from the beginning, I personally have never liked the name and was just wondering what everyone thinks about this, i know we have semi-discussed this in the past but would really be interested in knowing what you all think, and any suggestions people may have as far as 'possible new names go?'

Pez ..... hup hup

well specially since i hope lefty will come back after her breather, you know what my vote is for Hup Mortal Hot Sauce Hup!!!!!!!!!
