#11 The Big Rule (see below)
PLAYING RULES: (about a 2-3 hour game)
#1 Starting stacks are (5)$1,000 chips, (10)$500 chips, (10)$100 chips and (10)$25 chips = $11,250
#2 One immediate re-buy-in for $20 is allowed between hands for 1/2 the chips.You must be out chips.
#3 Small blind starts at $100 and increase $100 until $500. Then $500 increases until $5000, $1000 until $10000, and so on.
#4 Large blind is double the small blind and the minimum bet.
#5 Blinds increase every 20 minutes.
#6 15 minute break about every hour or three blind increases.
#7 $25 ante to start. Ante increases to $50 when small blind gets to $500, $100 when blind gets to $1000
#8 Color up the $25 chips when blind gets to $1000 - (when coloring up 1 chip gets nothing, 2-3 gets 100 chip)
#9 Table Dealer/s are paid $1 by each player and picked first by volunteers (high card if more than one). If no volunteers by high card. Bill F. is exempt from dealer-duty but pays $2 if no volunteers.
REGULAR BI-WEEKLY GAMES PAY OUT:
#1 All buy-in-fees ($10) plus all re-buy-ins are paid out:
#2 1st gets 50% - 2nd gets 25% - 3rd gets 15% - Best Hand gets 10% (hand counts if river card is dealt)
POINTS (%) EARNED FOR POSITION,TABLE AND STARTING CHIP STACK FOR BIG POT GAME
#1 1st place at weekly game 10 points
#2 2nd place at weekly game 6 points
#3 3rd place at weekly game 4 points
#4 4th place at weekly game 3 points
#5 5th place at weekly game 2 points
#6 showing up for the game 3 points
A couple possible (very unlikely) point scenarios for 11 games:
Best possible:
Took 1st every night 11x10=110, played every game 11x3=33 starting stack = $11,250 + 143%(16,100) = 27,350
Worst possibility:
Never placed and only played 7 games 7x3=21 games their starting stack = $11,250 + 21%(2,400) =13,650
FINAL GAME: points you earn are turned into a % increase in players starting stack (rounded to nearest 100 chip)
#1 Everyone can play the final game. Nobody has been eliminated
#2 Using the same playing rules as the regular games except for #3 to #6
#3 No buy-in-fees - playing for the Big Pot Fund and trophies
#4 No re-buy-in's
#5 Starting stacks will be $11,250 plus points (%) earned increase in their stack (example: 100 points you get twice the chips)
#6 Point Leader has table and button choise. If 2 tables, 2nd point leader gets button choise on second table - etc. etc.
FINAL BIG POT GAME PAY OUT:
Will have trophies for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and a Sucker Award for 1st out. Trophies paid for from the Big Pot fund.
1st Place (3 times 2nd place) $???.00 ($'s will very according to number of players and number of bi-weekly games)
2nd Place $???.00
3rd Place (1/2 of 2nd place) $???.00

4th Place(1/4 of 2nd place) $???.00
5th Place (1/8 of 2nd place) $???.00
THE BIG RULE:
If a player is not at the table the game continues. The dealer will post players ante and binds (if any) and the player will be dealt cards. If the player is not at the table to make the next play the dealer can check your hand. But if a call or increase in blind is required the dealer will muck your cards, the next decision will pass to the left and the game will continue. Nobody plays for you.
If you know you are coming late let someone know. You will be dealt in and mucked until you arrive.You won't lose much the first hour. If you don't arrive within an hour your chips will be removed from the table and you are out of the game.
Any problem that comes up we haven't thought of we'll have to vote on it. Bill's decision will break a tie vote.
