Team Poker League Idea - What do you think?

[Cleveland Guy]

Some friends and I were talking, and were wondering if they could come up with some type of a "Team Poker League"


In Basic this is how it would work. Each team would be made up of lets say 8 Players. Each "event" might have say 6 different tournaments

-NL HE
-PL O
- O/8
-Stud
-Razz
- Limit HE

Each team sets their lineup, one person playing in each event, and two on the "bench". Points are awarded based on your finish in each event, maybe 20, 15, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 - etc. depending on the number of teams.

Add up your point total from the 6 tournament to win the "event".

At the next "event" same thing, but players must play a different tournament than they had previously.

Cost structure and payouts could be figured giving some to each indivdiual win, some to the team winners, and maybe some saved for a season winner.

Any Merit?
