The Rhine Poker League identified guarantees the best Holdem player of the Rhineland in a 100% fair and sporting competition
Explanations for Rules:
1) Identical number of entries
In some other league which can each ranking players individually always anew decide whether he advertised in a league tournament participates or not. Moreover, in some establishments League number and dates of the major league tournaments not previously known and / or fixed. As a result, those players more opportunities to good placement season, which more often in league tournaments.
The requirement, and before the start of the season as poker Rhine-League player to register a late entry of new players as excluded as a different frequent participation in the match days. This will ensure that the winning number of ranking points on the number of individual entries is independent.
2) ranking points regardless of the field
In some other establishments, the league match days from freeze-out tournaments, where depending on the number of participants of the prize pool to be awarded ranking points is different (the more participants the more points for the first prize).
In the Rhine Poker League, the ranking points exclusively by its own strength identified - regardless of (such as illness) fluctuations in the number of participants in a single game day.
3) reduce the luck factor by Level fixation
In a league operation, consisting of freeze-out tournaments, is a regular increase in the blinds essential. This increases the pressure in the course of the tournament for the smaller stacks, so that the affected players must play greater risk and operational levels to initial place Cards, where they only hope their luck.
In the Rhine Poker League is a fixed number of games without any increase Blind played to a distortion of the results enforced “Gambling ‘.
4) Absolute justice at the table
In a league operation with freeze-out tournaments, the individual tournament phases by the elapsed time, (blind increase every 10 minutes). This and the interim withdrawal individual players play the participants in several areas under different conditions. On the one hand, a different number of lots in the various tables to name (as the table at the same time plays faster than another). On the other hand, in freeze-out tournament game days the players by a different frequency and amount varies forced blind bets before or disadvantage. Moreover, in a freeze-out tournament is not guaranteed that each player is often exactly the same position each has played.
In the Rhine Poker League is in all these points, absolute justice is guaranteed. The special regulations Heat has at the end of the season, each player played exactly 560 games, and each player has exactly 56 times at every position played.
