Season 7 Rules and Details
Updated 6/11/2010
The league details for Season 7 (this post will be kept up to date with the latest information):
League Details
The league will have a $15 league fee which will go completely towards the league prize pool.
All league fees and payouts will be processed via PokerStars transfers. To pay a league fee initiate a funds transfer to player "potnets" (will show city as Columbia). Please take care to ensure the transfer is going to the right place. Other payment methods can be accommodated but PS transfer is strongly preferred.
All players in the weekly tournament will earn points, with significantly more points going to the higher finishing places. Points accumulate over the season to determine a champion at the end with the most points. The lowest score for each player over the 10-week season will be dropped, to accommodate late-joining players and people missing an occasional tournament.
LEAGUE FEES MUST BE CURRENT BEFORE EACH TOURNAMENT STARTS IN ORDER TO EARN POINTS IN THAT TOURNAMENT. NO EXCEPTIONS.
A league "season" will consist of ten weekly tournaments followed by a Championship Tournament.
League format:
A weekly private tournament on PokerStars for $5+.50
Tournaments for Season 7 will be NL Holdem
Tournaments will be Tuesday nights at 9pm EST starting June 22, 2010
Tournament password will be made available on the league blog prior to the tournament
Every league member who plays will get league points, with points ramping up the higher you place
Bounty: For Season 6 there will be a 5 point bounty on the winner of the previous week. A consecutive tournament winner will not collect their own bounty. The week 1 bounty is the Season 5 Champion.
Additional Prizes: PokerStars has once again generously offered additional prizes for the league: 2 Sunday Million tickets for the leaders after weeks 4 and 10, and custom PokerStars shirts for the Top 3 at the end of the season. Thank you PokerStars!
NOTE: Season 7 will be the last season for this Sunday Million giveaway from PokerStars.
When determining the points leaders for Weeks 4 and 10, the following will apply:
Week 4 leader: Will NOT reflect the lowest score dropped
Week 10 leader: Will reflect the lowest score dropped
Also, note that one player cannot win both tickets; if the leader after Week 10 already won a ticket, the second ticket will go to the next player on the leader board.
At the end of the season, the Top 9 players in league points will play a Championship Tourney, which will also add to the points total. This will be a $10+1 NL Holdem tournament. In addition to the regular scoring, this tournament will also offer bonus points as follows:
The bounties and bonus points for the Championship Tourney are as follows:
Bounties
There will be a league points bounty (no cash bounty) on everyone in the Championship, but it will be a weighted bounty based on the leaderboard going into the tourney, as follows:
Bonus points
There will be additional bonus points for finishing in the money in the Championship, as follows:
The season ends after the championship tournament, with the league prize pool distributed over the top 3 point leaders. The number of payouts may be adjusted depending on how many people are in the league.
Two league policies to be aware of:
1) Sitting out - Any player that registers for a tourney but doesn't actually play any hands (i.e. sits out until blinded off) will receive last place points for that tourney. It is OK (and even encouraged) to register to get 5 points for a tourney you can't attend, but it isn't fair to get more points than an active player in that case. You must actually play at least one hand in a tourney to be eligible for more than last place points.
2) Non-league players - Non-league players are welcome to play in any regular league tournaments. This only increases the weekly prize pool, and league points are only awarded to active league players. No league points will be awarded retroactively should a player later join the league. Non-league players are not eligible to win a cash bounty. Of course, anyone playing in these tournaments is welcome and encouraged to join the league!

Season 6 Champion: HiRoller88!
Congratulations to the Season 6 Champion, HiRoller88!
Things were shaken up early when the points leader, COLUMBIADC, was knocked out first. Gonavy25 made a strong bid to move into the Top 3 for the season, but could not put away HiRoller88 who took down 4 bounties along with the tournament to overtake potnets and secure the top spot for the season. Remarkably, this was the first win of the season for HiRoller88, but the 7th cash, an impressive display of consistency and strong play.
The Championship Tournament was won by HiRoller88, with Gonavy25 in second and potnets third. For the season, HiRoller88 was first ($125), potnets second ($75) and COLUMBIADC third ($50). Congratulations and thanks to all that played this season!
