A quick reminder that this starts tonight! Get involved! :D
-
This is really a great thing, thank you for setting it up :)
Unfortunately I can"t play :"( :"( :"(, I really would love to, and would have the time, only as there are no alternative prizes for those who won"t have the time to go there, it would make no sense at all playing it
I really would like if we would have a league regulary, but perhaps just as an idea for the future, not everyone who likes playing league has time to go when it is a package, so perhaps for those an alternative prize? same or just a bit less worth? Just an idea as I might not be the only one who would like to play this and like this things, but just simply has no time on the day of the package and so far has to give it a miss :"( :"(

Portugal first weekend of November & Vegas straight after probably excludes my getting the time to go to the IPO, so unfortunately will not try for this >:(

Although there are no "alternative" prizes, whoever wins a package has the right to do what they want with it - e.g. play it themselves; nominate a friend to take their place, perhaps in exchange for a percentage share; sell it to someone else.

Thank you Matt,
was just an idea should there be a league again, to set up some alternative,
I shall think about it and decide tomorrow, but very likely i give it a miss, to much risk there. Should I be lucky enough to catch a prize, I need to find someone who wants it, should i not find is a waste and so on
But I am sure, or hope there will be a league again, where i might have time when the prizes are or there might be an alternative, so than you can count me in for sure :-)

When is the IPO Matt?

When is the IPO Matt?
The 2013 IPO hasn"t been announced yet, but they are usually held in October. This year, it"s widely expected to be 18th > 21st, but we cannot guarantee this until it"s officially annouced (which will be soon).

It"s winner-take-all Brian - I get all the points.
Don"t forget to add the result to your profile.

Looks a great format with a nice set of prizes and added value for those playing..
Dunno if I will play..
A. Can"t commit to going in first place (but like the idea of being able to transfer package)
B. 9.30pm start time seems to late?
C. 10am on weekends to early lol
Good luck to all those playing and hope someone connected with APAT/LPPL takes it down

Hey Carl,
Shame you may not be able to play mate - timings of games are always an issue - whatever time slot selected will appeal to some and be of no good to others.
We try and respect the live games that LPPL members (and hopefully soon some APAT members!) will play - 21:30 was felt to be the right balance for as many as possible - whilst knowing we cant please all.
But we had over 20 players last night - a great start with more to come - and yes, packages are sellable/transferrable, although if you can attend you certainly wont be disappointed by doing so! But the opportunity is there to "cash" these in to members who want to go - and there are certainly many of these around.
Enjoyable game last night - Brian Yates hitting every flop in sight and John Murray being as lucky as usual - it wont last!!
-
-
B. 9.30pm start time seems to late?
:D what you think this is for me :D I would be happy would it start 9:30pm, but for me it starts 10:30pm :D
after a good thought, I decided to go into it, as anyway you all are much better than me, so the chance to really win a package is close to zero, so will do it just for the fun of a league
There are some things in prizedescription which I do not understand, but as my chances to really win one are close to zero i shall very about this and go on matt"s nerves to explain it to me, should a miracle happen and i get one
Can"t join today, and most likely not tomorrow as well, but will than be there regulary
-
Matt, could you clarify a couple of things for me please.
1st through 8th in points at the end of July is worth same? (i.e. entry into final)?
The freeroll for everyone else is for 2 spots into the same final?
Also, will there be a running total of the final prize money. I ask this because it"s not worth playing for the daily prize (other than to support LPPL/APAT of course) so at some point a judgement will have to be made if it worth persuing more points to reach the final 8.
Thanks

Yes, that is correct.
The freeroll for everyone else is for 2 spots into the same final?
The Freeroll is for all players who miss out on the top 8 spots, but who have played a minimum of 8 games in the league.
Also, will there be a running total of the final prize money. I ask this because it"s not worth playing for the daily prize (other than to support LPPL/APAT of course) so at some point a judgement will have to be made if it worth persuing more points to reach the final 8.
Running total will be posted after each match. A link to the LPPL leaderboard will be live on the 2nd post in this thread, within 60 mins.

Looks like a good structure. Might give it a go later in the month.

It wasn"t my doing. You"ll have to ask Kim about that. If you don"t yet know Kim, you will.

His nickname may well begin with "C" if i chose it....but it most definitely wouldnt be "Charmer"!

Well, because we at LPPL think he is charming.

Hi Nellie,
Unfortunately, with only 4 runners the late reg doesn"t kick in. It"s a standard Boss Network rule, so any tourney needs at least 7 runners for late registration to be allowed.
Sorry, looks like not enough players made it up for 10am on a Saturday.

Thanks Leigh, I suppose I should try and get up earlier then!
-
I preregistered and logged in at 10.20 to find a certain Scottish lady had stolen my blinds at a speed that caused blisters on her fingers. :o
-

Do all scores count or just your top 8
-
No matter how many games you play only the top 8 are added up for a league position. Also if you don"t qualify in the top 8 you need to have played a minimum of 8 games to play in the qualifier to 2 extra final places.. Hope that is clear...
-
Thanks Mr Bill
-

-
-
Into the final 10 days of this league now. Time to consolidate your results, or make a charge for the top 8! Remember all players who"ve played 8 or more games, and don"t make the automatic leaderboard positions, will enter a freeroll where 2 seats will be awarded in the playoff final!
Thanks for the pep talk :)
-
-
-
Some players who are just short of the 8 games required to enter the Freeroll playoff (and number of games they need to play in brackets):
Sam Hardie (2 games)
Len Stanley (2 games)
Mairs (2 games)
Rudders (1 game)

Im trying :)

Looks like TWO packages for the finals... The example on the first page looks like it might be fairly accurate... $1400
I was looking OK for the final ten and I think tonights" win might of sealed a finals night for me...
Fingers crossed....

Glad to hear you"re enjoying the league. Following the success this month, we"ve decided to run it again next month. Basically the same, with a couple of Omaha games thrown in (Weds + Sun evenings) to mix things up a bit.

Yes, I thought the late-reg rules may have changed a bit recently, though haven"t been told anything from Boss. Will check and get back to you.

Can you let me know how places 8 and 9 have been decided. I know there is one game to go and it still might change but interested all the same...?

Thats great to hear guys and the sentiment is definitely returned from the LPPL side of things (thats friendly people from APAT - not John) - can only auger well for the future - both immediate and beyond.
Hopefully you"ll be pleased to hear we are repeating the event through August - am sure Matt will be releasing details imminently if he hasnt done already - its amazing how quickly the prize pot builds up, and the July Finals Night will be very exciting - so hopefully a few more will give it a go through August!

In the instance of 2 players tied for 8th, both players would make the final. This will make it an 11-person, rather than 10-person final.
-
Doh 1 minute late for registering at 9.31! Only 5 players in good luck, I know I had no chance to get in top 8 but I do like to play these games.

This cant be right surely? You REALLY need to make amendments to the rules that if 2 players tie for 8th then there is only 1 player gets through on the playoff.
How can you have an 11 player final!!!

Thankfully this scenario didn"t materialise but I 100% agree with Suz, you can"t have an 11 player final. For future leagues if there is a tie for 8th place then it"s easy enough to have a tiebreaker of who has the best 9th score and so on.

Good point.
tbh, there has never been a tie before in the online leagues, so we"ve never had to address this problem. When it looked like a tie could be possible, it seemed by far the fairest way to proceed was to allow both the tied players to play the final. Rather than retrospectively decide upon a way to split ties, which would inevitably be more beneficial for one player than the other.
Moving on, we"ll decide upon a method to split ties. I"ll speak to MTS and get posted up on the thread for the new league.

Interesting. ty for the hu. I"ll auto-register the 8 players who qualified to make sure nobody misses out.
-
Just waiting for Boss admin to get back to me to confirm they have manually registered everyone. Will update later this afternoon. Watch this space.
-
No response from Boss, so am chasing this AM.
All players will be registered for the Final automatically later this "avo - there will be no need to register using the password I sent out previously.
Players who qualified for the Playoff will still need to register for that themselves.
-
Everyone should be registered for the final now.
Players who qualified for the playoff will need I register for that using the password I previously sent.
Any problems PM me. Do not post on this thread as it"s likely I won"t see it in time (not near a computer).
Good luck!! :)

Hi Matt, there was no register button for the playoff game

Hi Matt, there was no register button for the playoff game
What time did you try to register? I sent instructions and passwords out last week. Registration was open from 7pm Thursday night to 6.55pm tonight.
Unfortunately there"s nothing I can do now the game has already started :(

Everyone should be registered for the final now.
Thanks Matt

I won a seat.....
Thought I played really well... Tony Tripps hit me hard early on Kh Ks v 8d 8c but I got a big pot when my 5c 5d turned into a full house. Took Suzanne out with Ks Kh and then repaid Tony and a divalppl (who continued to moan about the site and APAT players) by hitting a straight when they were both All-in...
Very happy, very patient play and well rewarded...
Cheers for the set up and now to start playing a few more nightly games...

well played Bill and congrats on winning an IPO Package.
Dont worry about Diva - she is in no way anti-APAT members - she always feels that online sites "target" her with bad beats.....and she takes those beats to heart bless her....shes a lovely lady though and you"ll meet her in Dublin - im sure she will be the first to welcome and congratulate you.
I will drop you a PM mate as im gonna need some details off you for the package and give you a few more details about the trip.
Youre gonna have a blast!
Congrats/commiserations to the other finalists - I hope you enjoyed your first taste of the Mini League and that youll continue to support it in upcoming months.
-
Looking forward to it.... I don"t mean to be getting at divalppl but she was getting a bit of verbal from another player and maybe it was just her giving a bit back..
