    Hi

    Over the past few months Alex and I have been asking questions to our regular customers and have taken into account what they have said.
    We have now put together a new schedule for the coming months.

    In addition to the normal weekly schedule the monthly game will still be on the first Saturday of the month and on the second Thursday of the month we shall have a €100 Double chance with 25 min levels in place of the regular €50 game.

    This weekly schedule will coincide with the launch of the poker league.



    Tournament league starts on Monday the 5th Feb.


    WIN A WORLD SERIES OF POKER MAIN EVENT PACKAGE.

    THE LEAGUE WILL BE FOR TOURNAMENTS ONLY AND WILL RUN BETWEEN MONDAY 5TH FEBRUARY – SUNDAY 27TH MAY.

    THE LEAGUE IS RUN ON A POINTS BASIS WHERE PLAYERS RECEIVE POINTS FOR PLAYING IN A TOURNAMENT WITH BONUS POINTS BEING AWARDED TO THE FINALISTS OF EACH TOURNAMENT.

    THE TOP 3 FINISHERS OF THE LEAGUE WILL RECEIVE CASH PRIZES.
    1ST : €1,000.
    2ND : €600.
    3RD : €400.

    (Prizes are estimated)

    THE TOP 40 FINISHERS WILL PLAY IN A FREEROLL TOURNAMENT ON SUNDAY 3RD JUNE FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A W.S.O.P. MAIN EVENT PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDES FLIGHTS TO LAS VEGAS,ACCOMODATION AND ENTRY INTO W.S.O.P MAIN EVENT 2007.

    4% WILL BE TAKEN FROM EVERY TOURNAMENTS’ PRIZEPOOL BETWEEN MONDAY 5TH FEBRUARY – SUNDAY 20TH MAY INCLUSIVE FOR THE PLAYOFF TOURNAMENTS’ PRIZE.
    THE WINNER OF THE PLAYOFF MUST TAKE THE PRIZE.

    For more information on new schedule and tournament league please go to www.thesportingemporium.com

    Hope to see you on Monday.

    John.

    Dont know about anyone else but this sounds like a great idea and will also bring up the standard of play in tournies, if someone wins a tournie and see's their name on top of the leader board and are in the running for the WSOP prize package, will undoubtedly make them play better.....


    Well done again lads for putting this together....

    Will the 40 players in the freeroll have equal stacks or do they get stacked in relation to their league points?

    eh.. i actually dont like this at all. if i play the 100+10 game i'm paying out 14euro to play a 96 euro tournament. i know its a the difference of a handful of euro but for players that are not regulars this is an additional reg fee. And if there is 50 runners thats 200 out of the prize pool, that is substantial.

    i appreicate the se is trying to attract more regulars with this but for people who simply dont play that volume of tournaments this is a deterrent more than anything else... why do i have to pay for tony to play the world series? :p

    I'm just after noticing the 4% thing from the flyers that were handed out last night and I can't say as I am impressed to be honest. A league should be used as an initiative to attract occasional players to play more often, but this leage rewards the few (top 3 finishers only plus a tournie) while maybe meaning that those that cannot play often enough to secure a top 40 place are put off going due to the skim off the prizepool.

    As for calling the WSOP tournie a freeroll, I think this is blatant misadvertising. I am in general a fan of the SE apart from the horrendous problems parking that I seem to have every time I go there which leads me to park in Merrion square half the time and sometimes means that I just give up and go to the Fitz, but this is a backwards step I think in the pro-player advances the SE has made in the last few months.

    Obviously in the unlikely event that I made the top 40 I would play in the qualifier, but that is not the point I am trying to make.
