I like this payout structure and hope it stays the same.

Hope to see alot of people this wednesday too. That is the second league game and it's a $5.50 buy in.

yeah, i like that pay out structure, too! but this payout structure is in freerolls.. but in first buy-in event scheduled on titan payout structure is if there is less than 10 players winner takes it all.. and if there is 10-19 players only first 3 places are paid. Last league events was played by maximum 7-8 people so i think winner takes all is not good payout structure.
By that, all second places in buy-in would give you nothing, and one first place can be important to win the league because buy-in event points are more valuable than freeroll. but i think it will be fixed, and the payout structure will be the same as in last league

Yes, i never thought of that before but it's kind of hard to make points for the league in the buy-in.
If 7-9 players will play, only one will win points for the league which isn't fair.
And i belive not all of us will be intresed to give away $5 in the buy-ins and not to get points for that.
I think the buy-in must gave points to all the participants, like it was in the first league.
The rule to gave points in the buy-in only to people which will enter in to the money, make's the freeroll much more atractive. Also the buy-in has nothing added, and it's a $5 entering not $2 like before.

Since I came in second in the freeroll lastnight(yeah for me) how many points did that earn me? I also took out a moderator can't remember which one so I get 5 points for that and I'm also confused about the buy-in games how many people normally play and how are the points spread out for those games?? are they more than the freeroll? anyway if anyone can send em a pm explaining it to me that would be great

The points for freerolls are distribuated based on your winning.
That means that if you won $32 you will get 32 points, if you win $2.5 you'll get 2.5 points.
In the buy-ins i don't think will be more then 10 players.
That means that only one player can earn points.
In the buy-ins you get 3 x your win. So if you won $15, you will get 3 x 15, that means 45 points.
I still consider not good the payout structure on titan for the buy-ins.

Sensei and dolva,

When the buy-ins were proposed, no one had any problem with the $5 buyins. Moreover, its only once per week, so it shouldn't be that bad considering we had $2 daily buy-ins in the previous league. Also the higher buyin and only 3 places paid means serious play and good quality poker. It's not luck dependent. So, i still like this format.

Most importantly, because no one knows how many players will register in these buy-in games, we have to use Titan's Standard Payout chart. If say we pay 10 places, and only 9 register, the game won't run. So I think we should stick with the current system.

Oh yeah you guys are forgetting the bounties on myself and Lytspeed, and these certainly applies in buy-in games as well. So, even if you don't finish in top 3, and you happen to knock out me or Lytspeed, you get 5 extra points, and 10 points for knocking us both.

I have no problem at all with the $5 buyin. My concern (and I think, Sensei's) is that only one person can get points if there are less than 10 players. It will only pay one slot because of the standard payout scale.

If we could award points for the top three finishers, regardless of whether more than 10 people enter, I think that would alleviate the concern.

Thoughts, people?

i think dovla and sensei are worried more about if only 9 people register for the buy in tourney then it is winner takes all. so first place would get $45 dollars or 135 points and the other 8 players dont get anything. i think it would be nice if if there were at least 6 players the top 3 would get paid.

That's exactly my point.
If we gather just 9 for the buy-in then the winner will take 135 points and others nothing except for the bounty's . It's certanly to much points for the winner. But i play for the forum not for the prize. I just brought up this problem because there are people which don't won't to give $5 and wait for the lucky game so they could win. Luck is very important in such a small tourny. It's just like in a SNG.
I don't know if something could be done with the pay out structure. If not, that's it. At least you can give points for every person that participate in the buy-in. I think they desirve it. They won just points for participating but no money.
Here is an exemple:
*Let's say 7 players play:
1st place get $35 that means 105 points .... fair enough
2nd place takes 30 points
3rd place takes 25 points
4th place takes 20 points
5th place takes 15 points
6th place takes 10 points
7th place takes 5 points
I think everyone will be happy with this point sistem and will have a lot more players in the buy-ins.
*Also if we have over 10 players let's say 14. Titan payout structure will give money to first 3 players. Prize pool will be: $70
1st place takes $35 that means 105 points.
2nd place takes $21 that means 63 points
3rd place takes $14 that means 42 points
4th place takes 30 points
5th place takes 25 points
5th place takes 20 points
6th place takes 15 points
7th place takes 10 points
8th place takes 5 points

But it's your choice BBP. I just want to help and make everyone happy not to create your rules for the league.
