Don't know if this is feasible or not, but here is my dream scenario, if you will.

One message forum per club, linked on the left with everything else.

All news postings and tournament announcement automagically get duplicated as a new thread in the message forum.

That way, people could respond/discuss the issues/tournament from there.

Make sense? Don't know if that would be possible though.

That works. I'll have links from the club home page for each news post that will take you to it's discussion thread.

Yes this feature already exists. When you schedule a tourney, your club's members can RSVP and reserve seats on a first come, first serve basis.

As a club owner, you also have the ability to change your members' RSVP status too.

Re: Home Poker Club - Your own home poker league website.
 

What Steve said, it goes to the championship pool, which is now over $200 after 5 tournaments.

I think for the next season it will be $15+5, making for a slightly larger nightly payout, plus everyone can just bring a $20 bill.

Re: Home Poker Club - Your own home poker league website.
 

Steve, please check your PM's. I seem to have lost ownership of my club [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Home Poker Club - Your own home poker league website.
 

What about a feature to have an option to name the tourny... rather than it just be listed as a Date and #.

Our series that we just started is going to have different games with differnt buyins. Some NL, PL, Fixed Limit.. so rebuys.. etc etc...
it would be nice to be able to name each specific tourny so that its easier to find if you want to search history.. etc.


Also, can the points column be set up to hold up to 3 decimal places?
Our point system is kinda different... but it works well since we have a large variance in entrants from tourny to tourny.
But reguardless, the points are low and are taken to 3 decimal places. When I entered it in, it rounded to the nearest whole number.

I was thinking about adding event names for tourneys, but I didn't know if everyone would want them. I guess I will do this and hard code a default name for people who don't care about them.

Decimal places is something I overlooked when I designed the website. I will need to change the data type of the points field in the datbase, and it will require testing.

As a temporary work-around, try multiplying all points by 1000 (or a larger number if necessary) and it should take care of the rounding issue. For example: if my points are 1.245, 1.245x1000=1245, and 1245 can be entered into the website. Apply this to all points and you get the same results with bigger numbers.

Re: Home Poker Club - Your own home poker league website.
 

Hey stevea,

I just want to thank you for putting this up. I saw this post about 5 weeks ago and decided that I would use it to organize games with the guy I play with at NYU. It seems a bit difficult for some people to sign up and get into the correct group, but other than that, I love it.

Some things I wish were different though:

1. We play mostly cash games. I can still use the site to put up games (I just have to remind people that it's a cash game). If your site had a button, New Cash Game, instead, that would be awesome. It would just be nice to clarify when we actually play tournaments opposed to when we play cash games.

2. I wish there was a message board, so that people could communicate with everyone, and not just via email. Otherwise, why not just use email for organizing games as well?

3. The sign up seems redundant. I invite a bunch of people, who then sign up for my club, and then I have to confirm them? This seems unnecessary, especially if I'm the one that has invited them.

Again, thanks for the site. It has made things (for the most part) easier on my end, especially after I got everything set up.

I haven't had this situation yet (we run a tournament followed by a cash game), but what I would do is simply to create a News Item with the details, and leave the box for 'email members' set. Although if you wanted to use the reservation system, that wouldn't work....I'm guessing that was your point. NEVER MIND! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

What I did was create everyone's account for them, logged them in, set their email correctly, logged out, then emailed them with the info and told them to log in and change their password. This avoided any invitation confusion.

I think the signup, and asking for permission to join clubs stuff is there in case you find a club in your area and would like to join, but you don't know them.

Thanks for the feedback.

A cash game option will be available in the future but probably not for a while.

Message boards will be available this week.

Regarding the complicated joining process...I designed it this way because I didn't want to give people the ability add their friends' (or enemies) email accounts without their consent. I have been re-considering this though. Evite allows people to do this, and I think it would be OK as long as I notify people that someone has added them to the website, and give them the option of leaving the club and/or unsubscribing. If I move forward this you would not need to accept/decline their registration request. The reason I have that is so that poker fans in your area (that you may not know) can request to join your club - I need to give you the ability to decline their request.

Re: Home Poker Club - Your own home poker league website.
 

Found another bug a while back that I forgot to tell you about.

On the "club info" page, I enter the following in the description:

"WE ARE CURRENTLY PLAYING THE POKER CHAMPIONSHIP DEL MUCHO GRANDE!




We are a group of Hold 'Em enthusiasts in a podunk town in Florida. We had regular poker nights, playing cash and tournament NL hold 'em. The games were/are mostly held @ Jesper's house.

After a flurry of work and personal activity in May/June of 05, I suddenly realized I hadn't hosted a poker game in nearly two months. The thought of doing a tournament series to keep everyone's interest, keep it regular yet not too ofter, and a big cash prize for someone at the end. And thus was born: POKER CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES DEL MUCHO GRANDE!

The season will consist of 10 tournaments (unless we squeeze in an extra tournament or two along the way) and end sometime in November, if my math is right, which I can not guarantee.

Each event has an entry fee of $10, PLUS a $5 club due! The entry fee goes to the prize pool for the evening. The club due goes to the season finale tournament. The winner of the evening, in addition to the cash, also receives a travelling trophy (clams playing poker), as well as the honor of being referred to as POKER KING OR QUEEN FOR TWO WEEKS!

At the championship final table at the the end of the season will be the 6 point leaders of the season, playing in a free roll for the prize pool collected throughout the season! Also at stake will be a championship trophy, as well as a prize to the season points leader.

The final table will be with different starting stacks, depending on where your standing was"

When you go to the club page you get:

"WE ARE CURRENTLY PLAYING THE POKER CHAMPIONSHIP DEL MUCHO GRANDE! We are a group of Hold 'Em enthusiasts in a podunk town in Florida.

So BR's are not getting inserted.

Also, I still seem to be having problems having the site "remember" me, in some weird way. Yes, cookies are enabled...but maybe I should try clearing them.

It's weird, I go to the login page, my info is there, I hit login, it takes me to the club home page as it should, but I am still not logged in. I do not see the admin options on the left, only the standard options, and the link in the upper right still says login. I click the link, login again, and now it's fine.

After thinking some more about the message board, I think your idea is better and mine is ass backwards...Most web portals you see do what you suggested...I guess I picked the wrong one to copy. I'm going to make it so that all news posts are in the message board (actually the news database table will be the base table for the message board), and all new discussion topics are posted to the message board and not the news.

The website sends the password to the email server immediately. There may be a delay between your email server and the website's, but it shouldn't be too long.

If it takes longer than an hour or two, send me a private message with the login name and email address you registered with.
