O.P.C. "Our Poker Club"
The O.P.C. or "Our Poker Club" had it's first tourney of it's 6 tourney season this past weekend. The tourney went well. The 40 person club meets once a month for the next 6 months. The entry fee is split to have 2/3 of the entry going to the individual monthly tourney and the remaining 1/3 going to the season prize pool.
The club rewards the top 5 at each monthly tourney.
Players are rewarded points at each tourney for how they finish in that tourney. A players points are totalled after the 6 tourneys are complete.
The top 5 season totals will be rewarded with the season pot at the completion of the season.
When a player is unable to make a tourney they may send a substitute.
The club uses kem cards.
No one is allowed to carry out chips in their pockets.
The tables are broken down in order.
And we don't do that re-buy thingy.
It was a lot of fun, and I don't know if I can wait a month to play the next one. :banghead:

You keep me posted on those Bristol St. Classics. Also the other tourneys you have on the go.
See you all there!
The tourney will be starting at 7pm sharp!! The same format as the last tourney will be used. If you are looking for the last tourneys results check the other threads started by me ( Xsqueezeme )
If you are looking for the totals after the first 2 tourneys ( same as above )
Good Luck everyone and see you this weekend
Season 2 is still a question mark at this point. If we decide to go ahead with it, it will start in the new year when season 1 is complete.
If you are interested in being a substitute just let me know and I' will let you know when I need someone.
Remember that the top five for the season are in the pot.
Top 5 at each monthly tourney will get from the tourney pot.
Format is the same as the previous tourneys.
Remember that if you cannot make it and you do not have a substitute, let me know ASAP so I can get someone for you.
Hopefully we'll have the full 40 out again!
See everyone on the weekend and good luck!

As you can see it is very tight for season points. People have moved from everywhere.
After only receiving 3 points in our first tourney. Kevin has worked his way up to a tie for 9th place and well within striking distance. Well done Kevin!
Consistency has done a few players well. Geoff, Greg, Pete, Scott and Mike S. have been very consistent and their season totals show their good successes.
One or two mediocre results can put a skid on your totals, as it has shown in the movements in our leader board. Good luck to all in the next 2 events.
The 5th tourney is this Sunday same time, same place.
Good luck to everyone.
Remember to let me know asap if you cannot make it so I can find a substitute for you.
Thanks
Talk to you soon
The season pot is up for grabs with the top 5 for the season in on the prizes.
I want to wish everyone good luck for whichever prize you are seeking.
I personally will have my eyes on a few people tonight so they don't overtake me in the race for the season pots.
See you tonight!
Look here for results of our Season 1 with the O.P.C.
Thanks
Brad
if you coudl message em these details, it woudl be greatly appreciated. thanks

I have learned lots over the course of the season, both as a player and as the organizer. Also the difficulty of trying to do both at the same time.
Thanks goes out to all the members, I think the season went well and by the sounds of it, the majority of you thought so as well. I hope to see all of you back for season 2, which I will be setting up in February to begin in March. First season members will be given priority for membership.
There will be a few changes for the 2nd season as we strive to improve and learn from the first season. The first of which is that we will be going a little bigger. The demand for this there, and the space is available to go a little bigger. Buy-ins will stay relatively the same, maybe rounding up to $80 instead of $75 to avoid the $5 needed for change since everyone comes straight from the bank machine. The blind schedule will be evaluated and may become slightly more agrressive. We also may develop a pre-pay buy-in for the tourneys. This may eliminate the no-shows. Small things that we are looking at to help improve the club.
I hope everyone had a blast just as I did!

Wes was the big winner at this tourney, playing for Paige. After coming 2nd in Tourney 5, Wes finished the season strong after a slow start to the season.
2nd was Perry playing for Ivan.
Strong play from Patti got her 3rd place and to the final table for the 1st time in the season.
4th was Troy who also finished the season strong. Troy almost sneaking into season placing, finishing in 6th for the season. The difference between finishing 1st and 4th in this tourney for Troy was a possible 2nd place season finish to his current 6th place finish. Not to take that away from Troy after moving up several positions to get 6th, but just to show how tight it was in the race for the season pot.
5th place was Doug
and on the bubble was yours truly.
Rounding up the final table was Warren in 7th and
in 8th was Brent playing in the open position.
Congratulations to the final table and all others.
The Season Race was very tight going into the final tourney. Eyes were on other players as the game withing the game was being played, opening the door for members seeking the monthly rewards. This element truly added to the tournament as some players played for more than one pot.
In the end the season ended with many in contention bowing out early and opening the door for players not too far behind.
In 1st was Brad with 197 points
There was a tie for 2nd with Pete and Geoff 169 pts
4th place went to Andrew and Christine 167
and 5th was Dan 166
Troy was on the bubble 164
Jay T, in 7th with 160
Greg P in 8th with 155
153 was Wes/Warren in 9th
152 was Leon in 10th
151 to Scott in 11th
and rounding up the top dozen was Matt J. at 150 pts
Congratulations to everyone.
Another change being looked at for the next season is paying more players, possibly the top 8 at tourneys and season rewards.
The points system will also be reviewed, with the club getting bigger, season points may have to change slightly so members don't find themselves too far out of contention too early in the season.
Thanks to all again for everything! ( and the the big chunk of change ) :eek:
Later
Brad
