Eat dannon, it makes you normal.
I emailed back and fourth with Gustavo a bit and we're gonna meet tomorrow to get this solidified.
The 21st of May is the confirmed first game. So plan on that.
He had an interesting idea from his last league. The league players would vote on when to have the next game. Obviously within the next calendar month, but the specific weekend was up for a vote. Thoughts on that?
I also think we're gonna have a deadline of May 9th to pay the league buy-in. Past that date and it's first to pay gets in. Before that date and everyone who's indicated interest has a saved spot. We want to have all league players paid before the first game.
If there are empty seats non-league players can fill them. Since there is nothing withheld from the tournaments for the league winners it'll be pretty straight forward for them, just like any other tournament.
I'll have a few more details tomorrow.

Yeah, it's simple.
I hosted poker tournaments through Jazzfanz and fishonjazz came to a couple of them. He mentioned he worked at Dannon and that they pay well and have good benefits. I asked him if I could use him as a reference when I applied. He said yes. I applied and got hired there. A lot of the people on my shift (swing shift) hang out occasionally going out bowling, to a bar, night fishing, house parties, etc. So I invited several of those people to the last poker game and a few of them came. Also, my new(ish) boss happens to be crazy for poker and he came as well, so about half the players were from Dannon and about half were from Jazzfanz.
It'll be my boss and me organizing and hosting the poker league.
If you need extra players for any game let me know. TBH, I only show up to support the community and you. A couple times I showed up after having an average of 2 hours of sleep per night for a week.
I always have a great time and never regret it, but I'm so damn busy all the time that committing to something like this is hard.
Anyway, if it's flexible and you need a seat I'd love to come but I can't do a league.
So I should have time to get out the final details and be ready to start accepting league buy-in tomorrow. But I have a couple other things going on so I might slack off a bit and be ready on Monday.
May 9th will be the due date for league buy-ins. That doesn't mean you can't buy-in afterwards, but it does mean that if you've committed right now, but don't pay the buy-in by the 9th that anyone else who pays the buy-in before you will get what's left of the available seats.
The goal is to have 20 league members. It will be preferable to have the league buy-in paid and all 20 spots filled before the first game.
Anyway, final details tomorrow or very soon thereafter. But for anyone following along, what I've outlined is still the outline.

So no final details just yet. Will happen soon (tomorrow).
I don't have a solid number but my fuzzy number is that there are more than 14 and less than 18 people who have verbally committed. Still some room if you're interested.
Gustavo mentioned that in his last league if players couldn't make it to a game they often bought-in anyway so that they would get some points for that game.
The way that would work would be that you pay the buy-in and then you get a stack of chips. Cards will be dealt to the empty stack and then immediately folded. The empty stack cannot win a hand, even if all-in. Blinds will be taken from the stack when they come around. He said it's common for the empty stack to last longer than at least a few players, and the points awarded to the player will be however far the empty stack goes.

Yes, I can accept entry fees via paypal. Anyone choosing to do that, please make sure I know who it's coming from before you send it and I will confirm when I get it.
