New way to run poker ladder/league

I'd like to give some credit to Bryce for finding this first, although with how frequent I use PS to play the PSO Skill League freerolls, I might have seen it this evening. But it saved time!

Anyway, there are some substantial advantages to using this over the games.com software:

Your exclusive online Poker Club includes these key features:

* Club Management Tools – appoint administrators, accept/remove members, customize your club lobby, set length of club seasons, and more.
* Club Leaderboard – ranks players by points earned through tournament play
* Player Statistics – view points earned, top finishes, knockouts for each club member
* Game Management Tools – customize game parameters and schedule games
* Save Favorite Game Setups – easy to replay your favorite customized game configurations
* Game Schedule – list of scheduled tournaments and open ring game tables
* Game Results – view tournament results including finish order, points earned, knockouts
* Private Games – all games and tournaments are available only to members of your club
* Custom Tables – your club name appears on the felt of your customized game tables
* Full Range of Poker Games – Choose Hold’em, Omaha, Stud, mixed games like HORSE and others
* It’s Free – there is no charge for opening and running your own online Poker Club

Check out the rest of the Home Games section to learn more, and see how easy it is to manage or join an online Poker Club with PokerStars Home Games.

It's entirely free, all everyone would have to do is download the PokerStars client, which hopefully shouldn't be too big of a deal. There's a ton of awesome things that we can do, and we can even host games that aren't free (for those of us with an actual bankroll ). Pretty great set-up. I can appoint administrators to the league for those who want to host different events, which means we don't have to be around for hosting; you can just get a few users together and get people to play!

I approve of this. This would be awesome.

Start looking around! I'm in the process of setting things up little by little.

More notes:

The tournament would be play money unless said otherwise. Everyone starts off with 1,000 play money chips, and we can make buy-ins low or high, depending on the amount of people we want.

There are tournament standings as well, but we won't see them unless we get at least 4 people involved.

10000000% support. Enough said.

Request sent.

Oh hey. It's what I was talking about the entire time. Only I meant a weekly money game :/

well i will definitely be joining and hopefully it will allow me to occasionally donate a few real dollars to the prize pool.

Think about it though how many people here will actually be able to put any money on ps

Trevor/Bryce - you've both been added.

I want to run an actual schedule so that it doesn't require us to be here all the time, but I'm not sure how many tournaments I would want to set up over the course of the weekend.

Kayla was thinking that we could have few tournaments Friday evening, spread out all through Saturday, and then some on Sunday mornings (for those of you who aren't in a friendly time-zone to us). I actually like this setup.

woo time zones

also ill set my acc up for this

Dan, you've been added.

Also, what kind of schedule would you guys want to see? I want to be able to accommodate for those who are outside of the U.S. as well.

I can't find the actual poker tourney registration only the hold 'em one.

I'm gonna have to miss this one due to a birthday in the family. Definitely look forward to playing though.

You wouldn't have to follow the steps that others would have to follow since you've played in a tournament. Log into your Pokerstars account, then go to home games, and DF's poker club should show up, along with the upcoming tournament.

this is all i keep seeing. I don't see a poker tourney at all

click the tourney tab.

Under Club Tournaments, hit Register.

Congrats to awein for his victory in tonight's match

When I get my laptop working again, I am down.

When is our next poker match? I enjoy any poker game even if it's just for fun Always fun playing with friends.

We need to set up an actual schedule. Probably Friday will be another.

Congrats to Shikari for winning our first tournament of the night! A brutal river card for Bryce hands him 2nd.

There's now a schedule up on the first post. Let me know what you guys think of it - Kayla tried catching everyone's time zones the best she could.

that new schedule looks pretty sick, plus i can play twice on saturdays
