Rule Change Effective Immediately

Sharp February 6, 2012
Please note a rule change which will take effect immediately. The following has been added to Rule 21: Tournament Attendance "All initial buy-ins must be made before the start of a tournament. If you have not bought in before the start of a tournament, you will not be allowed to play."

Changes to Season Display Pages

Sharp February 5, 2012
There have been some changes made to the season display pages. If you are viewing a completed season, you will still see Time Played as the statistic on the far right. Though if you are viewing a season still in progress, they Time Played stat has been replaced with a Latest Information field. This will show the latest playing information for all ranked players in the season. Anyone interested in still viewing the Time Played field as it progresses throughout a season, this stat is still available in the Player Profile pages. Also, a wins column has also been added to the season display pages. Last but not least, the ability to sort the season display page by other stats besides current rank is now available. You now have the ability to sort all players in a season by current rank, points, points avg., wins, times placed, kills, rebuys, & addons. You can do so by simply clicking on the header for those specific columns. You can only highlight individual players for easier viewing of a specific player. To do so simply click on a players rank. I will also soon be adding a link to running seasons to view a projected Title Game table that will update itself throughout the season. It will show who's in the Top 9 (and a few players on the bubble) and what chip count they would start with if the season ended on that specific day. More changes are to come soon as I continue to adds things to the site when I'm bored. :) ...I almost forgot!! I also added a arrow up/arrow down feature to the season display page. This will show to the right of a players name. The arrow will either point up or down depending on your overall ranking movement after the last season game played. There may be no arrow at all if you had no movement. Also, if you hover over the arrow with your mouse cursor, it will show you the amount of ranks you either climbed or fell.

WiFi Access Added to Sharpawatomi

Sharp January 8, 2012
For you guys with crappy phone service that have trouble getting signal in my basement, I have added a Guest Login to my network. So if you can't go a poker game without losing your mind because you can't check your Facebook account, you can now use the WiFi to do so.

New Awards Handed Out

Sharp January 8, 2012
A little late, but better late than never. I finished the awards script on the site today. New awards have been added to players based on their per season and all time play. The All Time awards update themselves automatically after each posted game. The player with the most current awards after this update is Alex B. with 6 awards. I'm sure he wished he only had 5 though... Hope to see everyone next Saturday as we start off the new season!

First SPL Champ Has Been Crowned

Sharp December 12, 2011
Sorry for the late update guys... Season 1 is officially in the books. For those of you that don't already know, Weeble took down the Championship game. He is the first SPL Champion! Congrats to him, and congrats once again to everyone that qualified for that game. If you didn't make that game (and some of you barely missed it), there's always next season. :) The results from the Championship game will be updated onto the website in due time. I'm in the process of redoing a lot of the database of the website, to get to ready for new features being added to the site, so stay tuned. I hope you all had fun this year! The schedule for next years season is in the process of being made. If it's not out within the next couple of days, I'm sure it will be out by the end of the weekend. For what it's worth, if I had to pull a date off the top of my head, I'd assume the first game of the 2012 season will be on Jan. 14th. That's not official yet, though that'll probably be it. There will also be a few changes to next season, which I will go over in detail before the season starts. If I don't see some of you before the start of the next season, have a happy and safe Christmas and New Years!

Hall of Fame Online

Sharp November 19, 2011
The Hall of Fame page on the site is now open. There's not much to it yet. It's still, as you can see, a work in progress. It's coming along though. I'm sure I'll finish it sometime with the next ten years.
