The KISSino Poker League

(Discuss games here)

A home game league set up to provide consistent, high quality, higher stakes, Texas Holdem Tourneys.

The primary focus of the KISSino Poker League will be winning. Money, that is. The Leader board will be based on $$ first, points second.

The KISSino Poker League starts on Sunday Sept 10, 2006 at 1pm sharp!

- This is an invitation only League

Games will run every 2nd Sunday for 3 months (six games).

The League then resets with:
- The top 6 on the money list, ties broken with points, gp, wins, avg - all previous seasons combined
- And the top 14 from a Qualifier game:
A 20 handed Qualifier game will be held for the first 5 alternates, and the (cumulative) money list players 7th place and down. Any remaining spots will go to the points leaders. Top 14 in this Qualifier game earn a spot on the roster, and the bottom 6 the Alt list, for the following season.

Alternates

- If you cannot make a game, a player from the alternate list will fill your spot for that week.

- Alternates will be called in the same order, as necessary. (If you’re first alt, you’ll always get called first, when needed)

- I will set the initial roster and alternate list.

- Future rosters determined by results. New players coming on to the alt list, again, at my discretion.

- Top 5 alternates that want to remain as alternate players only, can give their spot in the qualifying game to the next person in line.

- After the qualifying game, alternates that do not qualify also drop to the bottom of the alternate list.

**Note: This is a league you are signing up for - committment is expected.automatic

Not qualifying for the following season also puts you at the bottom of the alternate list. You gotta win to stay in! This also ensures ample opportunity for new players to challenge for regularly opening spots.

The KISSino Poker League Championship game will be held at the end of Season III. The top 3 money winners from each previous season earn first rights to purchase a seat. The final seat will be a wildcard card spot for the player with the highest money total earned over the 3 seasons combined. If that player has already qualified (via finishing top 3 in any one season), the spot will go to the first unqualified player with the highest points total over the 3 seasons combined.

- Championship game (after Season III) will be a $100 buyin, T10000, and played on a Sat.

- Championship Game Payouts:
1st - $600
2nd - $300
3rd - $100



Once you miss your 2nd of the six games you will be removed from the roster with your seat given permanently to the First Alternate, and negate your entries into following season and/or the Qualifier or Championship games if you were eligible. You will then be placed at the bottom of the Alternates list where you may start to work your way up again.
