CPF League play (give it a go?)
Ok, looking to take a crack at pooled league play. We can try this a few times and see if it takes off or not to more events, and/or events with bigger buyins. Just want to get one under our belt to see how smoothly it goes (or doesn’t)
Here’s the idea.
Play in a private tournaments on stars for $1 (that’s the lowest they allow users to create, anyone know how/where we could do this online for free would be an asset)
This will serve as a satellite to a $50-55 buyin on any major site. (preferably stars or ftp) You can’t play an event, finish ITM and say “oh, that wasn’t me playing for the league, it was my own etc) you must announce when you will be playing the tournament at least a few hours before it starts.
Anyone who takes part in the tournament sends me $5.25 via player to player transfer
The winner of the $1 tournament will receive all the funds that other players have sent me which is to be used to buy in to a $50-$60 event.
Satellite winner plays the event within a reasonable timeframe, and posts on the forum with as much notice possible so we can rail you J
Field of players who take part in the satellite own a 30% share of any winnings from the larger event which you would be responsible for transferring.
So, example:
10 people play the $1 satellite (but transfer $5 to me) “Bill” wins the event.
I send the pooled transfers to “Bill”
Bill plays a $50 event on pokerstars and wins $500.
Bill keeps 70% ($350) the remaining $150 gets transferred to the 9 other players who took part in the satellite to that event ($16.60 ea)
Soooo, anyone interested, you can register on stars. I set it up for this Tuesday Oct 5th at 7pm EST. once you’ve registered, please transfer $5.50 to Kanadian on stars

do we as a group allow folks to send their buyin, knowing they can't play, but simply to be part of the 30% pool? I for one think absolutely yes...for anyone that would be interested at least.
this....Mondays & Wednesdays no good
Its not full, it moved here....
when logged into stars, hit cntrl + t to search by tournament ID
creating personal events doesn't allow SNGs or capping players.
i remember now, with CNPL, we used poker4ever which allowed for private freerolls which didn't require any buyin at all, so we could maybe look into that as an option if we're looking to save $1.10 each time.
And perhaps its possible to run say 2 or 3 on the same night? This is a forum with people across Canada, and there could be 1 for each time zone, and if you can join more than one, great!
I think this is a great idea you have, and I think its fun to play against those on here. I really don't mind giving stars the 10-30 cents to host this...its quick, its easy
(and I wouldn't have to try and download anything new!!!)
Whatchya think?

sounds good. So...another question for the group.
Say we set out to send the winner to the nightly $55 on stars.
What if we get 16 players out and have $80 or so (16 * 5) what do we do with the surplus $25 after transferring the $55 to the winner?
2nd place plays a $20 buyin? or does 1st place play a $50 and a $30? what do you all think?
ill play too, and ill take the surplus...
I'd like to see the excess go to 2nd place to play a tourney.
that's what I figured too. Makes the most sense.
and, yeah, any time there is an excess there should be at least one more buy-in for second, third place etc..
will do.
