The Keatsway Poker Series (KPS) is a series of 6 tournaments running Friday nights from January to April. Each 32-player tourney is an opportunity to earn KPS Points (top 3 scores count towards your total). KPS Points are earned in the following ways:
-Base points: 1 point for each position (32nd=1pt, 31st=2pts... 1st=32pts)
-Collapse points: 1 point for surviving the first table collapse
           2 more points for surviving the second table collapse
           3 more points for making the final table
-Money points: 1 point for each dollar of your payout divided by your buyin (incl. rebuy if applicable)
-Bounty points: 1 point for each bounty chip won
Bonus KPS Points can be earned in other Keatsway Poker Club (KPC) events, as well as donating to the Chips&Chairs fund. Donating to the C&C fund will get you preference on the list of players, and possibly earn bonus KPS Points at the end of the series (5, 3, and 2 points to the top 3 donors).
In April, the top 15 KPS Points leaders will be offered entry into the KPS Championship. The championship tournament will be identical to the KPS series events, except for:
- 16 of players instead of 32
- $30 buy-in/rebuy
- additional starting chips based on position on the leaderboard
- length of the blind levels will be doubled
A single table tournament consisting of the non-qualified points leaders and C&C leaders will fill the 16th seat in the KPS Championship. *Plus Mario

Greg. Perhaps some clarification on this would be required. The impression I got (and others) was that the total for the tournament is $20. Since 15+5=20. But it is only $10 plus $5 for the bounty.
Andrew
P.S. To anyone thinking about coming. This is a great venue and it is well run by g2. He spends almost too much time running the tournament and ensuring it is running smooth.

I meant to do that... thanks for the reminder.
Cheers Flint

To all the lurkers wary of home games, I recommend this one. Unlike most other private tournaments, it is rake-free, fee-free, with low buy-ins and BYOB. Despite busting out to pocket aces in both the tournament and side game later,
The main improvement that I can think of is to have more accurate starting times and break duration. If people are hurrying from out of town to make it to the 7 PM posted deadline, then the tournament should start soon after 7 PM or the posted time should be changed.
Our table had quads on the board on the first hand!
Those are the main things I will be looking to improve for KPS II. Dealing with my last minute electrical failure really cut into my prep time for KPS I and I was disappointed with how the tournament got off to a slow start. I could tell a few people were unimpressed (and anxious to play poker

Can't wait for the next one!
Count me in for Feb. 3rd.
Good time friday nite. Your a super host, well run as usual. The caliber of play in these 32 person ' Home Games ' is excellent. Abdul, Damian, Stp, Mark, 2/3 from London, Greg, just to name a few. I learn everytime I sit in a game with these guys. Cards did'nt co-operate so making the final table short stacked ( $4300. ) was difficult. Knocked out 5 hands later. Met a few new faces. Cheers to Steve from out Vancouver way, hope you can join us again. See yah soon.

New BLINDS. Old BLINDS.
I have played around with the blind schedule a little bit. I have added a 40/80 level to the rebuy rounds to add a little bit more play before the first break. I have also added a previously unheard of 1 125/250 level to the middle of the tourney.
I had a couple people questioning the points breakdown, and I now realize why. One of the links was directed towards the wrong version of a file. This has now been corrected (actually merged into one file), so the confusion should be avoided for the future.
1 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have never personally played in ANY poker tournament that had a 125/250 blind level. Wait... maybe that's a bad sign. Either way, we're gonna try it out on Feb 3rd!!!Â

6 seats left!

Right now there is only 1 seat left! However, there are 3 pre-registered players (from the Chips&Chairs list) who have not yet confirmed. If they have not confirmed by Tuesday evening, they will be removed from the list.
Another thing... I am considering the option of bumping the capacity to 40 seats if there is enough demand. This also depends on whether or not I can get the lights fixed in that room.
