October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

Petu and myself (regulars in the #HSMTT chan on IRC) are starting a challenge for midstakes MTT'ers all through October.

We'd like to know who else would be interested in a $20-$100 wager on this challenge. (Somewhere in there)

Sites: Pokerstars, FT
Buy-ins: CAPPED at $55 FO and CAPPED at $8r.

- Point system TBD (prob like the one they do for the Sunday High stakes tournaments) and we will prob take top 10-15 tourney's to count towards points....but we want to discuss this first.

Let me know if you're intersted and we will all agree to a system and set it all up.

Let me know!

I'm ok with adding higher buy-ins if we can set-up a scoring system which does give you a chance to win even if you don't play that high. 10r will definately be added.

i have a day job, so not that much. like 40 tourn/wk prolly, maybe a little more

Re: October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

Interested...I am going to crush you! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

I have a day job too, and prolly won´t even put in more than max 20 tournies a week. So I will be dead money, but it´s good for motivation [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

I am going to be out of the country for 9 days so I'll probably only put in 2000 or so [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

100 tournies per day. Not a problem?

I should be in, I need to figure out if I'm traveling the last 2 weeks of October but if I'm going to be around I'll definitely be in to try and motivate myself some.

Re: October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

I'm interested. I need to motivate myself to playing mtts again.

I think 100$ each sounds good for these stakes, right?

And TBH, I rather not have 22r and 100 fo in this, but whatever.

I agree with this...but it seems like alot of ppl want those...even though I consider those high stakes....

Re: October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

what about the 3-tiered tlb challenge like may 2006 style? now that i am le baller i can do dat

Re: October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

do you mean that we have one category for 1-50$ tournies and other for higher buy-ins?

Re: October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

id be interesting depending on rules byin etc

Re: October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

I dunno, there's plenty of tournaments from 22-55 fo's and 3r-11r's daily. I think it should be enough.

The 22r is just one daily tournament, which just cost me on average a lot more than I want to spend now. I guess the 100 fo's are okay.

Re: October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

As I mentioned above, I am going out of town for a few days at the beginning of the month, but I'll be in for whatever up to $100 bet unless something drastic changes in the format. I'll ship before my first day of playing if that's cool...

Re: October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

I might be interested if it is limited to say top 10 scores. If it's top 20 or whatever I wouldn't be able to put in the volume to have a chance.

I think a 3 tier (High stakes(50+,22r+), Mid stakes (11-50,5r-22r) and Small Stakes (1-11, 3r)) challenge would be a lot of fun and would allow a greater participation from all members of 2+2.

This is a good idea, but generates a lot more work for keeping the scores. Traditionally these challenges run on stars only, but this time we're planning to include ftp too. Does anyone have ideas for formulas and how we should keep track on everyones scores?

People keep track of their own scores and you just verify whoever gets any sort of prize?

Re: October Challenge for MIDstakes
 

The one last year they just sent in the TLB e-mail from Stars which seemed to work well.

There is a points calculator on pocketfives that might work.
