Two Day - Low Limit Challenge - Interest Thread

[Rick Diesel]

After hosting the low limit challenge last May (which coincided with the team challenge), I thought it might be a good idea to host another, similar challenge. As many people compained about getting burnt out for the last challenge, I thought it would be better to do a much shorter period of time for this one. I was thinking of making the challenge a two day challenge, for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Buy-in will be somewhere in the $15-$30 range. Scoring will count for top 5 TLB scores (so volume isnt too much of a factor and people with jobs can still have a good shot) in tournaments with buy-ins of $9.90 or less, and will include the $3r, but not the $5r. Further rules will be clarified between now and then, but please post if you are interested so I can see if enough participants to make worthwhile. This can also help attendance in the Tuesday $4/180 challenge, as if you are participating in this, you might as well get in that.

What's wrong with doing it Saturday/Sunday so people with jobs actually can participate on equal terms?

nah - mid week is better. Some of us with jobs could do without the temptation... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Love the idea, but those two days aren't great. Would love to see max buyin go up to $10. I might still join and give it a shot with limited volume, if there is a lot of participation.

I take it this is all individual scores not a team format? Either way sounds fun.

Why not make the buyin up to $10 so we can play the daily 15 grand and the nightly 20 grand guarantee?

I'd be up for doing something like this as a stress-free break from poker, but I would like the buyin to be a little higher.

How about any MTT from $1 to $30?

It's not like anyone would gain an edge by being able to play a $30 mtt when someone else can't since the highest TLB points are paid out in the smaller buy-in tourneys.

Can someone give me a quick overview of the rules for a challenge like this?

I assume the highest TLB total scores over 48 hours wins -- but only top 5 scores count?

Link to old challenge thread may shed some light on this for me.

sat / sun please? Though would I be able to still play the mill and warmup etc, and just discount any potential (lol - i'll bust out before the first break) tlb points earned? Getting disqualified would suck.
