Luvin Poker Team Play Rules

1. Each team will consist of a minimum of three (3) players up to a maximum of six (6) with one (1) player designated as the “Team Captain”. Each Team Captain will have access to the LP Team Play Captain’s Forum. In order to avoid shorthanded tables, LP Team Play will host a fixed amount of teams: 8 to 10 Teams, 16 to 20 Teams, or 24 to 30 Teams.

2. Team Captains will be responsible for recruiting players to their respective teams and determining which players will play in the designated team events. In addition, Team Captains will be responsible for paying the $100 team fee by the stated deadline.

3. Three private tournaments will be established for each team play event. Each starting player will be placed at different tables. Team Captains will determine which player will be seated at which table.

4. Each team will be represented by three (3) players per event, designated as “starters”. All other players on the team roster will be designated as “alternates” for that event.

5. Any player designated as a starter may be replaced by an alternate at the Team Captain’s discretion prior to the start of the private tournament.

6. Individual Event Scoring: Each player will receive player points based on their individual finish. The graduated scoring system for this round of team play will be as follows:

Based on 10 Teams:
First place receives 13 points
Second place, 11 points
Third place, 9 points
Fourth place, 7 points
Fifth place, 6 points
Sixth place, 5 points
Seventh place, 4 points
Eighth place, 3 points
Ninth place, 2 points
Tenth place, 1 point
Zero (0) points will be awarded to any player who is scheduled to play but does not register for an event.

Based on 9 Teams:
First place receives 12 points
Second place, 10 points
Third place, 8 points
Fourth place, 6 points
Fifth place, 5 points

Zero (0) points will be awarded to any player who is scheduled to play but does not register for an event.

7. Team Event Scoring: The three individual player scores will be added together and the total cumulated points will be awarded to the team. The team with the most total points will be declared the winner. The best team score for any single event is 39 (based on 10 teams).

8. Final Point Totals: Each team score from designated events will be added together over the course of team play. The team with the most total points at the end of the session will be declared the winner.

9. Tie-Breaker: In the event that two or more teams have an equal score at the conclusion of the Team Play session, the team with the most individual first place finishes will be declared the winner. If the tied teams have equal numbers of individual first place finishes, the tied teams will face off in a single two table tournament to determine the overall winner.
