Poker League. Runs for 8 consecutive weeks. Two worst weeks dropped. 6 weeks will count towards your final score.
Each week players get paired up in groups of 4(and threesomes if we need to). 5 games will be played. Each player chooses one game. The player with the lowest chip count after 4 weeks picks game 5. Each group is handed 72$ worth of poker chips divided evenly. Groups of 4 everyone gets 18$. Groups of 3 everyone gets 24$
At the start of a game everyone antes a set chip amount up to play the game. $1 in 4 player groups and $2 in 3 player groups. Everyone plays ball 1. Your ball 1 score is the cards you were dealt. Before the start of ball 2 player one can bet or call. Then player 2 either matches the bet, raises or folds like poker. Then the same for player 3 and so on. The maximum a bet can reach is 2$ per ball. Then ball 2 is played with everyone still in. Any player who folded their balls will be plunged and their scores no longer matter. Before ball 3 the betting process is repeated. End of ball 3 winner takes the pot. 5 Ball EMs will have betting take place at the end of ball 2 and ball 4 to follow the same structure.
If at any time a player runs out of chips they are done playing for the night. If a bet is ever made over what a player has they will go all in and be allowed to play the remainder of the game.
This goes on for 5 games. At the end of the 5 games however many dollars in chips you have left are your points for the night. With the 3/4 player groups having different total chips per player(but same overall chips available for the taking for the night) the antes will be different in each group size. 1$ ante in 4 player groups and 2$ ante in 3 player groups.
End of season finals based on total points accrued over the 8 weeks minus the 2 lowest. Top 16 in A division. The rest will be in B division. Anyone who plays at least 4 weeks is eligible to play in Finals. The format for finals will be no limit poker (Group elimination bracket). Groups of 4 go out and play games the same way but betting limits are off. Once every group has just 2 players with chips left. New groups are formed and chip counts are reset. This goes on until a final 4 group is left and first one out is 4th, then 3rd and last player left with chips is 1st. Trophies and prize payouts for top 4 in each division.
