Point System:

Points = (Position) X (# of players Multiplier) X (Buy-in Multiplier)
POSITION - POINTS

2 - 15
3 - 12
4 - 10
5 - 8
6 - 6
7 - 5
8 - 4
9 - 3
10 - 2
11-15 - 1

# of Entrants Multiplier
0-10 - 1x
11-20 - 2x
21-30 - 3x
31+ - 4x

Buy-in Multiplier
$10 Tourneys have a 1x Buy-in Multiplier
$25 Tourneys have a 1.5x Buy-in Multiplier

So, if you finished 2nd in the $25 game and there were 16 players, here is how the points would be calculated: 15 x 2 x 1.5 = 45 points

I apologize for the short notice. I am still trying to figure out the points system, so to give people some time to deposit possibly we can make the first game not worth any points if that is what everyone would prefer?

Also, I noticed they have something called Immediate Check (e-Check). Does anyone know what this is?

Hobbes

And moneybookers

Thanks Hobbes... also, updated the original thread with the points system. Also, added a note that no points will be awarded for Tuesday's game due to short notice, but there still will be the Calgary Stampede qualifier if 20 players come.

Quimby

I see Game 1 at 15:00 in the lobby. Anyone else?

Hobbes

Yup.
Nice catch

Oh man, not again... I'll have to get this fixed ASAP.... for now the 1st game no points will be awarded until they fix this stuff up. Sorry guys!

Graham

Due to all the issues with time and short notice, I am pushing it back one week. Hopefully this will give everyone more time to get organized. I have updated the schedule with the new times. Thanks everyone!

schabs

I'm registered, how do we get the first deposit bonus? Is there some bonus code?

actyper

bah, i've already gotten the ban hammer from 888. No league for me.

MarcoGD

Awesome! I'll sign up this week sometime.

Graham

I was told it is automatic. Have you made a deposit?
