- Game and House Rules: League will follow Robert’s Rules of Poker (see link on right tool bar). Any deviations from those rules and any house rules will be posted here on the league’s website, 909 Poker.
League Structure:
- Players will earn points based upon their play in each tourney
- Points will be assigned in reverse order of finish. For example, in a 20-person tourney, the 1st place finisher would receive 20 points while the first player out receives 1 point.
Bonus points will be distributed to the top three (3) finishers for each tourney in the following manner:
1st place - 5 bonus points
2nd place - 3 bonus points
3rd place - 1 bonus point
- Overall point totals will be based on each player's top 3 finishes. Therefore, you can miss 2 games and not be "penalized."
Final Table Event:
- Winner will be crowned "2007 909 Poker League Champion"
- Each winner of the 5 tournaments will receive a seat at the final table and their buy-in will be covered by the final table pot.
- No more than 5 free entries will be awarded in total. For example, if there are 3 different tourney winners (e.g. 2 people won twice), the top 2 in point standings (that did not already win a free seat) will receive a free seat.
- $50 buy-in for all others
- In order for any player - including tournament winners - to sit at the Final Table, they must have contributed a minimum of $15 to the Final Table pool. This can be done by playing in a minimum of 3 games or paying $15 to the league (e.g. if you played in 2 games, you would only owe $5).
