Anyone fancy a TSP Classic League?
I was struck by what a quality field this gets most nights. (see the thread from last night HERE)
Is there much/any appetite for a "best overall/average performance" League thing for this?
If there were, we'd need to.....
1) Find a reliable volunteer to act as statistician/spreadsheet maker.
2) Devise a system that made it fair to all, bearing in mind not all of us can play it every night. So, "best x from y", or "average finishing position" weighted accordingly, or even "drop x worse scores per y Tourneys".
If there is an appetite for it, & I can get it set up as above, I'd be happy to get Sky Poker to donate a worthwhile Prize - maybe an SPT Seat, or something.
I'll monitor this Thread, & if there is enough interest, I'll get to work, & set it up.
Over to you.....

Anyway, if I run it, I'll disqualify you. You run too good.
But the idea of this league DOES sound very gd indeed
This is a personal initiative, not one from Sky Poker, so if it gets positive feedback, I can do it, without seeking permission from upstairs. If it does not, I won't.
So far, the reception seems positively lukewarm, though perhaps it's too early to judge.
I played it last night and think it is a great little tourney with the 10 min blinds. It fits in well with the re-jig of all the 8pm tourney's with the longer blind levels. Great changes BTW - thanks.
But for me it starts too late. If it started at 9pm like the Open used to (that was the classic time ;-)) then great - I'll sign up.
Why not move it alongside the 9pm re-buy that so many people seem to moan about (but not me as I also love the re-buys (and the BH's (and the deepstacks..........)))?
Cheers,
Ian
I think that the 9pm idea that Doudeau makes ia a valid one. I think the tournie finishes around 1.30-2am and if people have work in the morning then that might put them off. OFC it doesn't bother a degen like me ofc, you could put it on at 3am and I'll be there.
But yeah in general the TSP Classic is probably the best change in the tournie schedule that Sky have made so far so well done guys!
league and 9.pm start ftw
ok im in too not sure how many i can play a week but ill give it try see how things turn out
i like value for my cash so if its a decent prize sure go for it tikay m8
For the record, it has run 6 times, & it has exceeded the Guarantee on 4 occasions out of those 6. It needs 200 to "cover". The other 2 times it got, iirc, 197 & 181. Last night was the 181, which, I confess, was a surprise & a disappointment, although the Site was slightly less busy last night than the previous 6 or 7 nights.
It's too early to make a judgement on it, really. I just thought it might be a grand idea to run a League based upon it, as it plays so well. It's not a Company-inspired idea, it was my idea, & I'd happily put up the prize, because I just enjoy fun poker, & leagues.
Personally, I don't see it moving forward to 9pm, though, it's 10pm for a reason. But they might consider an alternative version, at 9pm, who knows?
PS - K-J is the absolute nuts, right?
I used to run a 22 deepstack league before but i cant find my template on excel...
I also have a variety of ways of running it, all primed & ready to go.
I'm just trying to gauge interest right now, it makes no sense to do it unless we can get 40 or 50 to show interest.
The "interest" so far has been more towards moving it to 9pm, which is outwith my remit really, & not a debate I had intended to spark.
It was just a whim, really, spur-of-the-moment stuff, it seemed worth proposing. You never know, it might yet happen.
We shall see in due course. If I do it, I'd ideally like to do it for a 4 week period, & before Christmas.
Didn't you have an epic fail in running the £22 deepie league Hogman?
Don't trust anyone Tottenham to run it imo boss.
As to last night's field, yeah, it really surprised me, as the Tourney is so good, & the numbers last week were above 200 for 4 nights out of 5, I sort of expected it would grow organically.
Maybe it was a one-off, time will tell.
Spurs fans are great at organising things... like the champions league winners party at the end of the season:)
It would need to work over an average because not everyone can play everynight, (me inc) but another great idea from TK!!
I think a big thanks to greghogg is in order as hes volunteered to keep scores.
