Teams Event Format now posted.

[Garth Kay]

Hi Guys, A long post I know but here is the structure for the teams event which will be held Feb 3rd at the Palais. Good luck! Please be aware this structure may be required to change but if edited all players will be alerted to the fact. Cheers! If anyone wishes to have a physical copy of this format I have attached it here in a word doc.

Teams Format.
Teams Shootout Event.

1st Round.

The first round will be divided into two flights of 32 with four members of each team playing in each flight. Each team’s captain will receive an envelope with eight tickets on it, each ticket represents a table number, and the team captain will then distribute them amongst his players. Team members are advised to keep their table allocations to themselves. In each envelope will be a gold star, this gold star will be placed on the team Joker’s table ticket.
At the call of each flight all team members will take their seats at the allocated tables, tickets will not need to be presented until that player is eliminated. Each table will play down to one winner with the following points for their position finished at that table.
1st = 15 points
2nd = 10 points
3rd= 7 points
4th = 5 points
5th = 4 points
6th = 3 points
7th = 2 points
8th = 1 points
As players are eliminated they are to put on the back of their ticket place finished and points allocated and have a TD or staff member initial the back of the card, please ensure that these details are written over the gold star of your joker otherwise bonus points are forfeited.

Registration will be from 9am to 10am. Flight 1 will contain tables 1 to 32 and will commence from 10.30am and will finish at approximately 12.30pm. Flight 2 will commence from 1 pm and finish at approximately 3pm.

Starting stacks for the first round will be $2000 with the following blind structure:
25/50 15mins
50/100 15mins
100/200 15mins
150/300 15mins
200/400 15mins
300/600 15mins
500/10015mins
1000/2000 Capped


Points will then be tallied and the top 10 player teams and the top 2 staff teams will progress to round 2.





Round 2

Round 2 will commence at approximately 4pm. Again envelopes will be redristubuted and the team captain is to distribute table numbers to all players. Team Jokers can be changed at this stage but the format remains the same. The blinds will remain the same as above and the point scoring will remain the same. Round 2 is expected to finish around 6pm.

Points again will be tallied with the top two player teams and the best performing staff team progressing to round 3.

Round 3

Round three will commence at 7pm with all 24 players being allocated table and seat numbers. No Jokers will be used in this round. This round will not be in a shootout format but in a freezeout format, a 24 player sit’n’go with points allocated as follows:
1st = 55 points
2nd = 40 points
3rd = 35 points
4th = 25 points
5th = 19 points
6th = 14 points
7th = 10 points
8th = 7 points
9th = 5 points
10th = 3 points
11th – 18th = 2 points
19th – 24th = 1 point

The starting stack will be 3000 with the following blinds:
25/50 20mins
50/100 20mins
75/150 15mins
100/200 15mins
150/300 15mins
200/400 15mins
300/600 ante 50 15mins
500/1000 ante 50 15mins
800/1600 ante 100 15mins
1200/2400ante 150 15mins

Points will be tallied and the winning player team will be declared and they in turn will play an eight player sit’n’go to decide who will be the lucky player to play in the $150,000 Vic Champs.

Looks nice and neat.

Sounds like some fun.
Dibs on not having to record the numbers or adding up though.


Cheers,
Brett.

staff are getting a bit of a free ride aren't they!

[Des]

I like the format!

Although i know some teams will complain about being split up for the 1st two flights.

I would have liked to see the staff teams treated as just a normal team. But I guess guaranteeing a team through to round 3 will keep the punters interested.

I believe this is supposed to read a maximum of two staff teams are allowed into round two

Ahh thats different then. So what you are trying to say is the top 12 teams will progress (but with a maximum of 2 staff teams only)

So if 3 staff teams are in the top 12... the lowest ranked staff team drops out, and the 13th place "regular" team goes through?

Is that how its meant to be?

[xtal]

sounds good cant wait

[Garth Kay]

I might change it to a maximum of two teams so there is no confusion. As I said there is likely to be changes, but it was also a NPL staff vs. Players teams event first. And with 59 players teams and 3 or 4 staff steams we are slightly outnumbered and we definitely do become targets when we sit down with players. Makes it difficult to play poker in circumstances like this.

[Des]

True, either way is ok.

Come sit on my table
