There'll be one PLO event and one PLO8 event. As was the case last year, you'll be expected to play at least one of the Omaha tournaments.

What are the min/max entry fees for the tourneys? can small BR players take part?

All of the freezeout events will be £5.50 tournaments. There'll be two events each week.

Starting times?  I think if the 1st tournament starts after 7.30pm you'll get a lot more players who've made it home from work.

(not that I need it to be after 7.30pm or anything) ;-)

GreekWay

I would prefer them to be 3.30 buy-in instead of 5.50...

I think starting time should be around 8-8:30pm...

YOUNG_GUN

Looking forward to it should be ok Tuesday i leave for poker

Don't panic, Aaron! The first tournament will start at 7.30pm; the second at 9.30pm.

Weather permitting I will be on holiday for the first week but after that I plan on entering the rest of the games.

Will there be a trophy this time?   Or maybe a bracelet?

Hi James

Thanks for running another league, I will try and play as many as I can.  Can I just ask whether I can have the prize in advance please?
Also can you confirm that you will be making the rules up as you go along again?

Cheers

An excellent idea! I will ensure there is an official ARL2 trophy (and no expense will be spent). It will be presented to the champion at SPT Cardiff.

For the avoidance of doubt...

A player is eligible to be included in the league table if he/she has played at least eight ARL tournaments. These must include at least one Omaha event and one Timed Tournament. Each player's average score will be calculated on his/her eight best results - consisting of one Omaha event, one Timed Tournament and six other events.

In the event of a tie, the "single best result" rule will come into effect.

MAXALLY

With the new live show on a Tuesday in mind,

a) Will you be ineligible James if you miss a couple of weeks if the roster says you will have to do the tv slot ?

b) If a does not occur, will there be any coverage of League games on there?

Hi Alan,

Good questions...

a) I will not be hosting any Tuesday-night shows during the six weeks of the promotion.

b) I'm hoping we can feature some coverage of ARL tournaments on channel 865.

Would love to take part but I get back from work around 8.30 on a Tuesday so won't be able to play in the 8 needed .  Oh well, maybe next time.  Good luck all and have fun.

Blatant bumpage...

Looking forward to this one.

I like the format you have chosen, although I do suck at any type of Omaha, but my plan is to bink a win in all the other tournies (My plan may have flaws, but it is a plan:)

Good Luck to all.

J-Hartigan

Five.  Your odds have decreased (realistically they haven't).
