    Ok folks, just starting a new thread to see who wants in to the biggest poker event to hit boards in 2009. Last year, Boylesports added $10k to the prizepool which helped double the prize money, so everyone was onto a winner straight from the off.

    Boylesports are once again sponsoring the HeadsUp league and their support is once again very welcome. I'l be working with Ciaran getting things setup and we'll hope to go live once everything is in place.

    There will be some $$$ added again, but i dont want any money hungry grabbing greedy boardsies signing up just for that, so i'll talk about that in the next thread ;)

    I'm in work now, and will add to this thread when i can, and will link other threads and answer any questions i dont get around to when i get home.

    We'll be aiming for 4 leagues (last year we split Serie B and had 5 in total)

    Buyins for leagues will be...

    Serie A - $300
    Serie B - $170
    Serie C - $110
    Serie D - $60

    There should a league that suits everyone so put down your interest for whatever league you'd like and we'll try and accomodate everyone.

    Thanks again to Boylesports and Ciaran Corbett for sponsoring and lending their support for another year.

    yes please - whatever League you deem me qualified for (Beeza Homes I'd suggest)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,454 ✭✭✭TripleAce


    Hi - never played this but would like to play :) . Apart for the buy in for the League, is there a buy in for each single match? If yes, how much?
    Stupid question I guess, but just to confirm - has to be played on Boyles or any iPoker pr?

    Thank you....


    Just read the rules in other thread - can I have a place in Serie A plz?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,751 ✭✭✭BigCityBanker


    Tony, il take a spot in Serie A, if not there then Serie B. tyvm.

    WTF, no premier League? That's me out so.
    Seriously though, played against all in stevie for Hoooourrrrrs last time and it put me off HU for a few lifetimes.

    Look forward to seeing who wins though, fair play for doing it daddy flushdraw.

    Thank you....

    Have a look below from last year. Each league will have a min buyin. If both players agree to play lower, thats ok but the min is there to stop someone demanding to play a $1 or they dont play the game (as happened before)

    All games must be played on Boylepoker. They've put a lot of money and effort into the league and all matches must be played there. There is headsup tables exclusive to the headsup league and we'll PM everyone the passwords should they wish to play on them.

    All winnings will obviously be paid into your Boylepoker account.

    I'm proud to announce that Boylepoker have taken over as sponsor for the Heads Up League 2009 and have added a massive $10,000 to the prizefund. This is a massive coup for the League and i'd like to thank Ciaran for the time and effort he has put in (and is willing to put in over the coming months)

    We have been running an interest list over the last week and have reached 46 players. There is room for another 14 players before we are full and from now on, its a **first come first served basis.

    There's a slight change to the league entrants from the other thread. I've decided to expand Serie B to 24 runners. This will be split into 2 equal leagues of 12.

    We will now have..

    Serie A x 12
    Serie B1 x 12
    Serie B2 x 12
    Serie C x 12
    Serie D x 12

    As you can see from the list below, there is 2 places left in Serie A..8 places left in Serie B, I need 1 player to move up or down from Serie C and we have 5 places left in Serie D. Once these are all full, we will no longer accept entries and the transfer of funds will begin.

    All 24 entrants in Serie B will be placed in a virtual hat and they will be divided into 2 equal leagues.

    playersqr5.jpg

    ** I will not accept new users that setup accounts just to play this league. Applicants must be existing members of Boards.ie

    The prizefund breakdown and the payouts are listed below. There is $8k added to this section of the league and its rationed accordingly. The prizefund is based on us reaching the full 60 players. Should we not reach 60 players, the prizefund will be adjusted accordingly.

    payoutul4.jpg

    Rules, Regulations, Terms and Conditions

    The entry fee to each league is below. This amount MUST be transferred to a special Boards HU holding account on Boylepoker before any games take place. This account will be confirmed tomorrow.

    Serie A - This will be a $300 buyin and each game must be for a minimum of $20
    Serie B - This will be a $150 buyin and each game must be for a minimum of $10
    Serie C - This will be a $100 buyin and each game must be for a minimum of $5
    Serie D - This will be a $60 buyin and there is no minimum per game.

    I also need each player to PM me with their Boylepoker username so we can get player to player activated on your account. Once money is transferred, it is non-refundable should you not be able to complete your fixtures. Users that arent currently signed up with Boylepoker.com can do so by downloading throgh this link.

    http://www.boylesports.com/poker/index.asp?

    League Rules..

    Each player will play 11 best of 3 headsup games exclusively on Boylepoker with the winner being awarded 2 points and the loser 0. The more points you get, the better chance you have up claiming a prize, simple :). Trophies will also be awarded to the winners of each league.

    Each player may play his 1st 8 fixtures in any order, at any time but they must be complete over an 8 week period.

    A fixture list will be announced once reg is closed and all games will be numbered 1-11. You may ONLY play your first 8 games over the first 8 weeks. You can play all 8 in the first week should you wish!

    The last 3 fixtures must not be played until each person in the league has completed 8 matches and only then will the final 3 rounds of fixtures commence.

    The reason for this is so that everyone will have played the same amount of games by a predetermined time and will leave 3 games to fight it out for spoils. If you played any of these 3 games out of order, they will be classed as null and void.

    Every player that reg's must make every effort to complete all his/her games. Walkovers can and will be given against players that fail to fulfill their fixtures or make little or no effort to complete them.

    If players are tied on points come the end of the season, placings will be decided on the result of the HU match between those 2 players. If 3 or more players are tied and HU matches cannot determine a winner, then play-off matches will occur.

    Boylepoker will be creating private Boards.ie HU tables at every level for use during this league. They will be password protected and each person will receive the password once reg begins.

    We will be hosting the league on a Boylepoker blog (details to follow) People can check results, latest standings etc on here. I will also be blogging player profiles, matches, hands, scenarios etc which will be updated regularly. Hopefully no-one will have any issues with a few little Q+As just to get an insight into the players in the league. It wont be much, just a couple of "get to know you" questions.

    The Boylepoker Cup

    This year will also see an FA CUP style knockout competition for anyone that wishes to enter. It will run concurrent with the league. Cost of entry will be $15 and should be paid at the same time you register for the league.

    All league members will receive a bye into the 2nd round. The first round will be open to any boards.ie member regardless of whether they participate in the league or not. Boylepoker are adding $1,000 to the prizefund for this. We will wait to see how many numbers we have but we will either be paying 4 or 8 players depending.

    We've accounted for $9k but we still have $1k left. This will be announced once the league begins as there's another little bonus in store.

    I'll leave it at that for now. I'll try to answer any questions you may have, but like most of us, i have plans this weekend so wont be on constantly.

    What i need at the moment from each player is..
    • A commitment to play in whatever league you are put in
    • A PM with your Boylepoker username in order to activate player to player transfer
    • The transfer of funds once the holding account is setup

    Hope everyone has fun and i'd like to thank Ciaran and Boylepoker for the use of their site and the $10k added :)

    Yeah i wouldnt like to have more than 12 in the league. The more players, the longer the league goes on for and the more messy it gets. 12 players should take roughly 4 months to finish.
    I will try B again!

    The league is a NLHE HeadsUp competition to save any arguments. There is no problem with playeres choosing to play any varaition of poker they wish. I think ocallagh, smoothcall and others played some Omaha HU so once the players agree, thats fine.

    Can we change Serie D to "buckfast cup"? I like it

    Seeing as i never like to miss an opportunity, i've sent an email to buckfast for the craic...

    Hi there,

    I have a quirky request that i'm not sure if you will go for or not, but i thought i'd ask anyway!

    I run an online poker league within an Irish community called boards.ie. Each year the league is sponsored by a poker site and last year and this year, Boylepoker have added x amount to the prizepool.

    The league has 4 divisions of different entry fees ranging from $60 to $300.

    This year, one of the lads suggested we call one of the divisions "The Buckfast Cup"

    I quite like the idea so i'm going to try and get a sponsor for each division.

    Would you be interested in taking part and putting up something for the pleasure?

    The league will run for about 5 months so your name will be thrown about among a lot of people over the course of the competition!

    I look forward to your response.

    Kind Regards,

    Tony Baitson


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 797 ✭✭✭aya14


    Tony,
    I'll play in C or D where ever you need to fill a spot. I think I was in D last year.

    Cheers
    Ken




  • If you want I can get some Omaha or no blind increase tables built for the league for you to have as an option.

    PLO would be great.

    No blind increases would make me weep though.

    If you want I can get some Omaha or no blind increase tables built for the league for you to have as an option.

    Omaha would be good Ciaran, maybe a $5, $10 and $20 omaha tables. I reckon there would be no rush with the higher games filling so i don't think we'd need to have specialised tables built.

    I dont think anyone here would go for a no blind increase table. Seeing as time is an issue with a lot of people, this wouldnt help, and it's probably as close as you can get to wanting to poke your eyes out with a needle!
