JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT COULDN’T GET ANY BETTER…
Here are 7 league improvements for the 1st QUARTER OF 2021:
-
THERE ARE NOW FOUR WEEKLY TOURNAMENTS!
Thanks to all of you who responded to our scheduling survey from a few weeks ago. As a result of your feedback, we will be adding a 4th weekly tournament on Sundays at 3pm. There will be a leaderboard for this new weekly tournament, however it is provisional – meaning it will not yet count toward advancement or leaderboard championships or Hee Hawl of Fame induction. If the league membership shows sufficient participation in the new tournament, it will be become permanently sanctioned like all our other established weekly series, but no sooner than at the end of the first quarter. OUR CURRENT SUNDAYS at 7pm ET, WEDNESDAYS at 3pm ET and 9 pm ET will remain unchanged. -
ADVANCEMENT PLAN TO GOLDEN TIER –
A record-breaking 12 players advanced to our Golden Tier last quarter. Due to a reduce Silver Tier membership, we shall only advance 6 Silver Donks to the Golden Donks Tier in the 1st quarter. They shall be the champions of our 3 weekly leaderboards, plus the next 3 highest point takers on the Composite board who are not already advancing by winning a weekly leaderboard crown. -
FINAL WEEK MULTIPLIER -
The often-confusing, much-debated points multiplier for the final week of the quarter shall be abolished. There will be much rejoicing. -
NEW MEMBER CRITERIA -
The current criteria for new nominees is that they must be referred by an existing Donks League member and have a ranking better than 3000. Starting this quarter, exceptions will be allowed from time to time at the discretion of the Advisory Board in the event of a worthy nominee who has skills or qualifications deemed essential for league management. -
1st QUARTER SCHEDULE -
There shall be a total of 48 tournaments this quarter. There will be 12 again for each of the 3 weekly established tournaments and 12 more the Wednesday 3pm ET provisional tournament. There will be no tournaments on February 14th and 17th. Special events are being planned for those dates. Stay tuned for details! You won’t be disappointed. -
THE HEE HAWL OF FAME TOURNAMENTS -
These tournaments will be played at 7pm each Monday. All of the inductees of the Hee Hawl of Fame are invited plus each week we will also be inviting guests who qualify for this tournament by either winning one of the regular weekly tournaments that week, or by finishing in the money in the new Sunday 3pm ET tournament. The promotional invitation to the chip winners of the Wednesday 3pm ET tournament has now concluded, so thank you for participating and allowing us to sanction that new tournament. -
Silver Tournament Buy-ins -
The buy-ins for all the Silver Donk Tournaments will be reduced from 100K to 50K chips.
These are significant improvements that have been recommended by our new Advisory Board which was only formed in mid November. The Board consists of chuckcox, LadyCon, 12beat22, MCcats, Rosie2_SM and Sergente21 and is chaired by puggywug. I am very proud of what these 7 individuals have accomplished in a very short period of time and am looking forward to seeing more of their recommendations in the future to further improve our Donks League. If you like these improvements, be sure to thank these 7 Donks, because they have worked hard to get them implemented by the beginning of the 1st quarter (if you DON’T like them, blame me. I approved them).
