Rules Rulez

Not that you guys will read it....but here you go...

Here are the rules that we've been working off, just in case you all have questions on it....

Calvin=Lucky Dog

Today we ?celebrate? our first repeat winner, Calvin. He built a good size stack and just pushed people around after that. He collected 13 green chips! Oh, and he did catch a card or two...Calvin, hopefully you bought a lottery ticket on the way home.

It also marks the first time a re-buy didn't place in the money.

The spreadsheet looks a bit different - the red highlights are the weekly winners. I also added up the top 4 finishes and highlighted the top 6 (if the season were to end today)

We were thinking of Jan. 9th for the final tournament. Please let me know if there are any major issues with that ASAP.

Event Standings as of 9/13/2008 and Next Event Date

Hello all! We had a great event last week. 23 people out to play! WOW!
A bunch of highlights to mention:

• Calvin L took down the dog tag with some nasty sick play. He personally knocked out 10 people!
• The rebuy continues to pay off Anthony K takes second place after re-buying
• Q. shakes off his "best player not to cash" title....while Rob F...well, not so much...alongside Rob, taking Q.'s place, is Mel Kipe...Ken For...I mean Russ H.
• First timer Brett S. cashes and knocks out 4 of the people from his team
• Worst beat taken at all the events thus far: Aaron J. gets knocked out with a full house against Quad Aces, followed closely by a set of kings beat by a straight beat by a flush...

Thanks to Rey and Melinda for hosting! Please remember to throw $5 in the kitty for food/drinks every time.

Our next event is October 24th at 8:30 - Please be on-time as we will start playing at 8:30.

Next Event is 9/12

Thanks!

8/22 Standings, musings, and discourse

Hello all! Thanks for driving out and coming to the latest event! It was a great time! I know that it went crazy late (about 2:30) - From now on we are going to start on time, and I'm thinking over some other changes to try to finish by 12.30. This way people can hang out, play a side game or two and still have a great time, instead of watching the clock the whole time.

Click to see the standings below - Congrats to Mike S. for taking down the massive field of 18 and winning his first Dogtag!! Also, we have a new points leader - our gracious host...hmmmm....

You can start to see some trends evolving here: Of the ones I've noticed- Dave M and Rob F seem to be fighting it out for the Phil Mickelson award...and every event we've had has had a Re-Buy place in the money, with 2/4 having won the whole thing.

Also, I wanted to extend a thank you to everyone for making my job easy - every time we've played the pot has been exactly right, I appreciate it!

Thanks to Rey for hosting, and if you guys could remember to donate a few bucks to the house, it is much appreciated!

I'm going to start looking at dates for the final Tournament - I was originally thinking of January. Does anyone have any "absolutely no" dates in Jan?

Speaking of dates, we have Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, so I think it would be wise to push up the dates a little bit so we don't run into anything, so I'm tentatively thinking of 9/12, 10/10, 11/14, and 12/5 for the remaining dates - I know that cuts down the next one to only 3 weeks b/t the two, but I think we have enough interest to do it....I'll make a new post when everything is finalizied.
