NPL's You're the boss competition.

[Garth Kay]

Seeing that all forum users ave their own opinion on the NPL competition and prizes, and also that the users here offer some unique input into the NPL competition structure; we have decided to run a "be the boss" competition.

As such we will set some broad guidelines and you can design the competition structure for 2009.

One staff member and one player to present the best idea will win return airfares and one night accommodation in either the Melbourne or Adelaide CBD.

Key Criteria:

Budget - $500,000

States – SA and VIC

Season length – You decide

Regions – assume 12 in each state

Amount of events – 250 per week (keep in mind for qualification purposes) (140 in SA, 110 in VIC)

Prize packs – already taken care of

Guidelines:

1.) Season lengths must be 8 to 12 weeks

2.) Games must run for 50 weeks of the year.

3.) Qualification methods can be changed.

4.) Leaderboards do not need to be used.

5.) State Finals format can be changed.

6.) You cannot exceed the budget.

7.) Set the competition schedule as you see fit, not all seasons must equal the same amount in prizes.

8.) Competition structure must be repetitive and reflect a similar competition schedule from season to season.

9.) You can change the NPL competition in any way you would like

10.) Consistent performance must be rewarded.

11.) Points and Tournament structure can be changed.

12.) Passports must remain as a part of the competition.


Conditions:

1.) You must be an NPL member to participate.

2.) All entries must be submitted in word doc and emailed to garth@npl.com.au

3.) You can enter as many times as you like.

4.) All entries must have your full name, address, contact no and NPL member no. attached.

that sounds awesome garth.

is that 500K spread across SA and vic, or is that 500K per state?

[Luke05(Jamo)]

yep have fun with that

[AceLosesKing]

That sounds pretty damn cool.

[bennymacca]

awesome way for garth to concentrate on playing poker without having to worry about WORKING LOL

[Luke05(Jamo)]

this will teach you guys it's not dam easy what garth does. 500k for 2 staes for a year, have fun keeping every one happy.

[Luke05(Jamo)]

one question garth does this budget inclue staff costs?

[Ondie J]

Got in before me If you're working on a budget and you can't exceed then you'll need to know at least the avg wages that you're going to have to be paying per week given that you have 250 events per.

[Luke05(Jamo)]

if it is thats 12,500 events a year on ave i would say $130 a night for staff so =$1625000 of ur buget allready and that's only having 1 td on a event and still with out admins cost. etm $1695000 just in staffing cost that leave u $1195000 to play with in ur buget. but then u will have to lay aside 30-35k in new products(TABLES,CHIPS, CARDS) so that leaves ur bugget to $116000 + all ur other small cost. not easy at all guys and girls to run 2 states of npl on only 500k for the year.

[Luke05(Jamo)]

not a easy task at all. i will give it a shot for the fun of it. but garth and crue are doing a fucking great job.
