SEASON 3

Season 3 of the Saturday Night Showdown is upon us. The first showdown will be Sept 12th at 7pm at Wayne's house. We will go over some of the details with the new players as well as bring everybody up to speed regarding changes for the new season. Being that that night is a Penn State home game we'll probably start a little late to give you tailgaters time to arrive. So whats new for the 3rd seaon. First are 2 new players. Tim Hockney and Eric Vitunac. Eric's played with us many times as a sub and Tim hosts his own game at his home in Deerfield. We lost 1 player. Doc Sheldon has relocated to Montana and we wish him well. Hopefully he'll chime into the site from time to time. This means that we'll have 13 players. We will start each tourney with 1 table of 6 and 1 table of 7. The kiddie table will now be 5 seated while the cash table will remain 8. The extra $20 will go into the cash table pot while the kiddie table pot will remain $20. Same rules apply as the previous 2 seasons as well as the points allocated to your finish. Another change for this year will be additional bonus points. They will be as follows:
1 point to the player who knocks out the previous tourneys winner
1 point if you win both tourneys that night.
1 point if your the bounty and you win.
1 point if you rebuy and win
1 point for 3 consecutive cashes
3 points for the last man standing. Last man standing will go to the player who is the last player to appear at the kiddie table. ( That was me last year )

Rebuy's You will be permitted to rebuy during the first 15 minutes of the tournament at any time up to 1500 chips. Last year we allowed 1 rebuy if you got knocked out in the first 15 minutes. You may now rebuy at anytime during the first 15 minutes up to 1500 chips.

Exposed card policy We will discuss a league policy involving exposed cards. We will discuss this the first night and come up with a policy.

That should be it for the changes.
The schedule is as follows:
1 Sept 12
2 Oct 3
3 Oct 24
4 Nov 29
5 Dec 12
6 Jan 9
7 Jan 30
8 Feb 20
Final Table March 13

I did my best to avoid PennState home games and Girls and Boys Basketball. There is only 1 showdown scheduled for a boys BBall game and 1 scheduled for a Girls BBall game and only 1 pennstate home game which just happens to be our opening night. The conflicts should be mim=nimal. Our policy has always been the schedule is the schedule however if an event pops up that a large amount of showdown members must attend we will look into moving the date. Otherwise if you cant attend you are required to get a sub. We dont want any empty seats.

I will continue to post up until Tourney 1.
Stay tuned and I'll see you then.
