Welcome to the Mob Forum League V

The latest Mob Forum League Started November 4th 2008, but don't worry if you've missed out so far, there's still plenty of time to get involved and win won of three World Series Packages which have been added, plus $1000s of dollars in BOUNTY Prizes.

If you don't have an account at Full Tilt already make sure to use bonus code MOB when you sign-up for 27% rakeback and a $600 match bonus on your first deposit.

Responding to the feedback from last season we have made a few positive changes. The points system has again been revised and the same points are awarded for the top 20 finishers each week irrespective of the number of entrants. The games have changed slightly to provide more variety and include a heads up shootout event.

Three equal prizes of a WSOP* 2009 support event buy-in ($1500) plus expenses ($1000 flight, $1000 hotel) plus spending money ($500), total package worth $4000,  are added in prizes. The three packages can be won as follows.

1. Outright league winner: package plus solid gold Hendon Mob lapel badge.
2. The league runs for 6 months and we will have an individual monthly winner each month. The top points scorer for each month plays a 6 man SnG for a package.
3. The 18 highest placed finishers in the league, excluding those who won the league or a seat in the 6 man SnG, play a 2 table SnG for the 3rd package.

In the likely event that a monthly winner wins the league, they do not qualify for the 6 man SnG. Their place is taken by the highest place league finisher who did not win a 6 man seat. It is therefore possible that a player finishing as low as 25th in the league can still make the playoffs. If there is a tie for a monthly winner, all players tying will play a no limit hold'em SnG to determine who wins entry into the 6 man SnG for the WSOP* Package.

New Bounty Prizes

Every week there are bounties on various players and points are awarded. These points will show next to your name in the league table and are redeemable at any time for items from the Bounty Store.

• 20 pts For Special Guests e.g. week 1 was Dave Colclough
• 8 pts for any Mobster (Barny, Joe, Ram or Ross)
• 5 pts for previous week’s winner
• 1 pt for any Forum Moderator: Nemesis / Indestructible / deucedoyle (Checkov) / robgibraltar / Grumbledook

IMPORTANT: In order to qualify for bounty points you MUST post in the official forum thread in the Mob Forum for each particular tournament. This can not be done retrospectively! So anyone who knocks out a bounty player that has not posted in the official thread on that day will NOT get the points and the post must be made BEFORE the bounty is won.

If you do not have a forum account then open one here.
