RC3 All you need to know

The Cup is just over two weeks away and here is the tentative schedule for the March 3rd event. Captains will have the venue details.

We are trying to make this as efficient as possible to ensure a fun and competitve day but trying to cut the drag out of it. RC1 was a work in process. RC2 was a lot more efficient and flowed quite a bit better and so we are hoping to make RC3 the best yet.

The tables will run #1 from the window to #8 which will be the table closest to the washrooms. Captains after we pick our lineups please ensure you players sit according to the seating chart we picked from. First person on the list will be the #1 spot and the dealer and have the seat in the middle of the table closest to the window. We will print out a few seating charts and have them on hand for players to reference.

Schedule

10:00 - 11:00 Registration.


Captains will pay me directly their teams entry fee. The full $400 amount at once please. I will be at Westside this weekend, The KW Pirana event Sunday and Bristol on Wednesday. So if you have collected the money before hand all the better.

Nadine/Miranda will be collecting for the individual side pots. These are strictly optional but do add some fun to the day. The side pots are $2 each.

Our 50/50 Points draw is an event where you pull a players name out of a hat and if they are the days MVP you will split the pot with them. So the pot goes to the MVP and the person holding their card.
Beanie was MVP of RC1 and Wolffhound the MVP of RC2.

Also, each variation of poker that day will have a High Hand Jackpot.

Omaha
Stud
FL Holdem
NL Holdem

For all the SNGs you must show your hand to be eligible but a showdown does not need to occur. In the Hold em SNGs you must use your 2 hole cards to be eligible for the high hand jackpot.

So for $8 you can enter all the side pots.

Rules of Stud
These will be the rules for the Stud SNGs
Antes are paid and then the dealer deals 2 cards down and one up per player
After the first three cards have been dealt, the player showing the lowest up card must make what is called a "bring-in" bet.
The bring-in bet, by the way, is the only significant time and place in poker where card suits come into play. The highest suit is spades, followed by hearts, diamonds, and clubs
After the action has been completed on the opening round, the dealer gives a face-up card to each player remaining in the game. The dealing will go in a tradition clockwise fashion. Unlike the first round, where the lowest hand was forced to start the action, in this second betting round, the highest hand on board has the option to start the betting; that is, the player showing the highest hand is called upon first to either bet or check.
On fifth street, you receive your third up card, and then there is a round of betting, again started by the highest hand on board. (This person may be different then the first bettor on 4th street).
Sixth street is virtually identical: an up card is dealt, the highest hand acts first.
The betting on seventh street is identical to sixth street, but the card dealt is the last card you will receive, and it is dealt face down.
There are 4 bets max per round unless heads up where the betting is unlimited.

  • Looks good Sandro, cant wait :) One question though, what is your plan for scoring if we get 9 teams?

    Can we get confirmation from all captains that they will have a team in this thread? Also, if you have it, a roster would be nice to get the preliminary work done on the player placement.

    As soon as I know how many team there will be, I will post the placement table on the other site which Sandro sent out to the captains

    Omaha:
    Greg (g2)
    Jeff C (compuease)
    Dave D (ddmilcan) aka snowflake making his much anticipated return
    Bob S (bigbob)


    Stud:
    Larry L (Dr)
    Dave B (non forumer)
    Judy P (non forumer)
    Paul P (non forumer)

    ie non forumer = ringer
  • Sandro, you should also note that in stud, the betting is doubled when players have 5 cards just in case :D

  • I am awaiting on my confirmation e mail from the site. I'll post the team once I get that. I assume we place starting at the top of each table?
  • What do the Royal Cup captains think about the 9th place team getting 0 points? I vote that the 8th place person gets 1 point and the first person eliminated from the table gets no points.

    I really don't think the difference between 1 and 0 is worth it. Give the 8 and 9th place both 1 point and dont' worry about it.

  • I 3rd it and well 4th and 5th it too so 1 pt each.

    Buddy do you have your team ready to place. Let us know. If I don't hear from you I will have to pull your team out.

    Jeff if you want I can place for you if you give me some direction while your away. - If you like.

    Brent - Can you post on other ite your team. I think you mentioned that Brad may already have your team.

    Thanks Guys
  • Appreciate the offer, lets see how much we get done by Sunday. I leave at 11am. I assume we're not doing heads up assignments until the 3rd right?
  • Why not just the top 4 or 5 people get points if the lower point value's don't mean anything.
  • lets not change it now... Worked fine before, created some great races,, too late to change now
  • Point system will stand as is. Thanks for your input.

    Thank you. This system has worked for the other 2 tournaments and I see no reason to change it just for shits.

    As far as the placement goes, I don't mind doing some for Jeff if you want to go that route

    Brad
  • I have added two blind levels for Omaha 200-400 and 800-1600 in their respective spots. Also Stud will go with 5000 in chips. We will have two systems going so the Omaha/Stud round will havetheir own monitors and TD running. Sorry for the change.
  • I changed the whole Stud structure to allow a bit more play. The tructure is a bit less agressive since we can now run two computers with different structures. Also the breaks for each of the first two disciplines will be at dfferent times. Added a 150 300 300 600 Level in Limit. Added a 1200 2400 level in NL.


    That's the last of them. See everyone on Saturday. Please register early as we will start at 11:00 sharp.
  • I'm really looking forward to this! Definately one of the highlights of the poker year! Thanks for putting this together guys and for all who believe in making it happen.

    stp

    Mark, cover your nuts when you stand on a chair!

    Seriously, thanks for the warning Sandro. I'm aware of the allergy situation, but others aren't.
