    This will be the official thread for the weekly PLO8 Bounty Hunter League. All results, updates and changes will be posted in here. 
    FAQ's
    When are the games?

    Every night!

    Nightly @ 7:15pm - £5.50 buy in PLO8 Bounty Hunter with a £200 guarantee 
    Nightly @ 8:30pm - £5.50 buy in PLO8 Bounty Hunter with a £200 guarantee

    Each league week runs from Monday-Sunday.

    *Both games count for the 'Jackpot Prize' and league points.


    How do I enter the league?

    Just make 1 post in the thread saying "in" and you are opted in for eternity or until you opt out.

    What can I win?

    Win both tourneys in 1 night and you win a £33 tourney ticket. This applies to the 1st person to do this each month only.

    Finish in 1st place in the weekly league and you win a £33 tourney ticket.


    League points are awarded for making the final table of either £5.50 BH game each night.

    1st place = 10 point
    2nd place = 7 points
    3rd place = 5 points
    4th-6th place = 3 points

    In the event of a tiebreaker situation - Most bounties taken over the week will be used to decide the winner. 

    Anything else I need to know?

    Everything is subject to change and the league organisers/Sky's decision is final. To be eligible for these additional prizes you agree to these terms. The structure of payouts etc may be changed without notice and guarantees for the tournaments may be reduced/withdrawn if participation falls below a certain level.

    If you have any suggestions to improve the prize payout structure then feel free to give your feedback in this thread and it will be given due consideration. The tickets paid out for prizes cannot be changed to differing denominations (for example you cannot swap a £33 ticket for 6 x £5.50 tickets). This is simply to cut down on administration, no need to give Sky staff more work to do when they are already being generous enough to support the league!

    Lastly a big thanks to Sky for supporting the league, to 'Scouse red' for his great efforts in working out all the points and making the tables and a big thanks to everyone who takes part in the league!

    New rule effective from 3rd May 2017: Please note that you have 2 weeks from the date you win a prize to post in this thread indicating you are claiming the prize. You can play the ticket whenever you wish, if you could just post to accept the prize. This is so that (a) if players do not claim a prize then the next best finishing player can collect the prize and (b) so we do not have players in 6 months or whatever looking for prizes we have long forgot about.

    Good luck!

    Thanks folks!

    I see there were 28 in the £11er tonight, so fractionally off the guarantee. Hopefully when the league kicks in it can get us that little bit extra and ensure the numbers stay north of the guarantee. Did anyone notice how many were in the £5.50er? I was out all night so didn't get a chance to check, just curious :)

    Looking forward to this starting on Monday.

    Thanks all!

    One little change to the league position scoring system...

    Entrants will still get points based on finishing position and extra points for finishing in the later stages (the FT). It is also still your best 10 results that count. The only change is that there won't be extra 'league points' for bounties taken though. This has proven to be logistically unworkable to incorporate into the scoring system.

    With regards to the 'Bounty Hunting' aspect of the league, there is still the £55 (5 x £11 tickets) prize for taking the most bounties in a single night each month.

    I have edited the opening post to reflect any changes.

    Not long to go now till this gets underway :) Thanks again for the kind comments!

    Marky, you may need to have something in place to determine the most bounties on the night winner, there could be a tie.

    I thought about this myself Chilling literally an hour ago, I think there are 2 ways to do this

    1.... if 2 players tie on 15 and one has 12 & 3 ..... the other 10 & 5 then the 12 & 3 takes it

    2.... if both players have the same then the highest total of heads taken across all the games they have played is used

    if they are still tied ....... then I'm taking cover and hiding like a hidey thing lol


    like everything else whatever is suggested as a solution I will go with on the sheets

    Good point chilling. I will add something to work as a tie breaker when I get home from uni this afternoon, probably whoever gets the most in a single tourney wins if scores are tied. 

    Thanks :-)

    Have updated the criteria for a tie break situation.

    Also late registration is now for 50 minutes (it was 40). Late reg was ending just seconds before the break in some of the games, hopefully this gives players a chance to enter during the break and helps the numbers.

    I only just noticed your post Chris (I am on my mobile and am hopeless using it on forums). The update I put for a tiebreak situation was exactly what you had suggested anyway :-)

    The first month of this kicks off in 40 minutes! (see opening post for full details)

    Assuming the numbers keep up and we get to the second month... There will probably be a few changes to the scoring system for the league points, a couple of issues have been spotted and Chris is working on a more effective system. For the first month we can just go with what we have though and see how everything pans out :)

    Good luck all!

    Will def play this when I can xcept Mondays as it's DTD. Unfortunately, my brain...I mean pooter can't cope with more than 4 x tables.  If I bomb out early (which only happens once a week) you might see me at 9:15.

    Gl ALL and a BIG TY to Chris.  Hero again.... terrible colours but still a hero.  ;-)

    Congrats to our first winner!

    Pomfrittes wins the FT Jackpot on night 1 of the league by winning the £5.50 BH (despite having a very tricky opponent :-p) and also finishes 2nd in the £11 BH. Very well deserved Pom and you showed great sportsmanship heads up by going slow when your opponent was disconnected!

    Will contact you about the £55 (5 x £11 tickets) Pom.

    It was a great start to the league tonight. The £11 hit its guarantee with 31 runners and the £5.50 smashed its record and got 68 runners.

    Hopefully see you all tomorrow night, still the monthly league and most bounties in a single night prizes to play for.

    Very well played Bill.

    As Mark says Pomfrittes gets the first ever prize awarded in this league for his top 3 finish in both tournies on one night

    and it will probably come as no surprise to learn that he currently leads the Bounty leaderboard too

    FIRST PLAYER TO FINISH IN TOP 3 IN BOTH
    PLAYER 7.15 9.15
    pomfrittes 1 2 WIN




    MOST NIGHTLY BOUNTIES TO DATE
    PLAYER 7.15 9.15 TOTAL
