Please remember Rule 8 of the MPL Player Code of Conduct:
"Any attempts to manipulate any part of a Misfits Poker League, Venue, FPN promotion, 'Bonus' program, or nightly scoring will result in an immediate removal from the league. This includes any behavior deemed unethical or complicit in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage in any live or online game with the Misfits Poker League or FPN."
WEEKLY RULES REVIEW!
As promised, here are the updated Game Rules & Tournament Information and the Player Code of Conduct. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask myself or any of the dealers. My email is lance@misfitspoker.com. Please be patient with myself and the dealers as we grow into these updated rules. We will work diligently to ensure that everyone is comfortably up to speed with the changes. We want everyone to be able to get exactly what they want out of their time spent in the league. It is my hope that this idiration standardizes how we operate as a league and allows us to move forward giving everyone the fairest game possible, while also maximizing the fun, sociable, and competative aspects of the free bar league poker experience.
Today's review is from the Rules & Tournament Infomation discussing the rules and guidelines for the upcoming League Tournament of Champions that will begin October 1 at Joe's Bar. Check the schedule and Tournament details here: https://www.misfitspokerleague.com/post/dates-for-spring-and-summer-tournaments-of-champions
Rule 5) Misfits Tournament of Champions:
a) These tournaments will be played in the month immediately following the end of the current FPN Promotion.
b) The following is a list of ways that a player can qualify for a seat in this tournament:
i) Win a League Championship by finishing first in total points at a venue (league) throughout the given season.
ii) Win any single game throughout the season(s).
iii) Qualify as a TOC Wild Card.
(1) Each TOC will have up to 27 players. Typically, each season consists of 12-13 weeks of play in each league. The number of seats available for a TOC may be adjusted as needed by League Management.
(2) Throughout the season, a League is likely to have a repeat winner. This means that at times, due to duplicate winners, there may be some seats available at the end of each season that are not occupied by the League Champion or one of the nightly winners of that specific League. If there are seats available at the end of the season in each League, a list of players from that League who did not win any nightly games over the season and did not win a Seasonal League Championship will be generated using the FPN Total Points ranking for that League and season. The Wild Card seats will then be filled using that list from the top down, placing the top point earner in the first seat, second in the second seat, and so on until all Wild Card seats have been filled.
(3) Wild card slots will not be filled using results from venues that are no longer active in the League. Nightly winners, League champions, Top 10% (Main Event Seat winners), and Top 15%(Seasonal Online Championship) finishers of venues that are no longer active in the league at the end of the promotion will still qualify for all applicable awards.
(4) Players may only qualify for one Wild Card seat per TOC. Once qualified, they will be removed from any future qualification list and players will move up to fill the vacated spot.
c) Players who have qualified for a seat in a League Tournament of Champions AND HAVE ALSO received the maximum allocation of seats/stacks to the current FPN Promotional Main Event (via online and regular League play) will not be eligible to participate in any of the League TOC events and their seats will be vacated. These seats will then be open as Wild Card seats and filled according to the guidelines stated above. Rule 5)b)iii)(2)
d) If a player qualifies as a TOC Wild Card, they will receive one (1) starting stack.
e) If a player qualifies as a League Champion and has one or more wins in a single league, that player will receive an initial starting stack as League Champion and an additional starting stack for each additional win they have, with a maximum of four (4) stacks in total.
f) If a player is NOT League Champion, they will receive a starting stack for each win they have in the league, with a maximum of three (3) stacks in total.
g) When a player qualifies for Wild Card in one season but has reached the maximum number of stacks (3) based on wins or League Championships in another season, the player will be awarded one (1) Wild Card stack, not exceeding four (4) stacks in total.
h) The Misfits Tournament of Champions (MTOC) will be held at each Venue (some Venues/Regions will combine their TOC events; this will be at the Management’s discretion).
i) When MTOC's are combined, the players that have multiple wins and/or League Championships from each League will be able to receive a maximum of 4 starting stacks for that particular MTOC.
i) Winners of a Tournament of Champions earn an FPN TOC Medallion, a Seat in the current FPN Promotional Championship Main Event.
i) When a MTOC involves two or more combined leagues the number of Main Event seats available to win will be equal to the number of leagues that were combined for the MTOC.
ii) The overall winner of a combined MTOC will receive a Promotional Championship Main Event seat
iii) The last remaining player from each league in a combined MTOC will receive a Promotional Championship Main Event seat.
j) There will be no substitutes or alternates available for the MTOC’s.
The League Rules have been updated so please take the time to review all of the League rules and guidelines as it makes for a better playing experience for yourself and everyone at the table. For full access click the link below:
The Tournament Dealer Association (TDA) rules will apply in most cases. Please keep in mind TDA is a guideline for poker rooms to use and always respect rule #1 which states the following: “The best interest of the game and fairness are top priorities in decision-making. Unusual circumstances occasionally dictate that common sense decisions in the interest of fairness take priority over technical rules. Floor decisions are final.” To further familiarize yourself with the TDA Rules please visit: https://www.pokertda.com/poker-tda-rules/
