Rungoot is a fast moving, powerful ally. But she never seems to stay in one place long! Let's spread out and see if we can find her.
If you'd like to play, but are not already in the club, simply send a PM to Admirable eneely, the league owner, for an invitation -- there are no qualifications. He will need your Pokerstars account name. Games run on Pokerstars under the "home games" tab. We play Monday evenings at 6:30 Pacific, 9:30 Eastern. It's all play-money fun.

Game 1 already has 5 entrants, so we're off!
League scoring will be completely random, in the form of a latitude/longitude coordinate. Players are encouraged to post a photo of this location. Since many scores will be on the open ocean or empty desert, a photo of the nearest port or town would be lovely.
Subsequent tournaments will award a vector from your previous coordinates, providing a random walk across the globe. (Rungoot seems to carefully evade methodical attempts to locate her.)
There will also be 3 season-ending tournaments:
--
tournament of champions, open to anyone who luckboxed one of the games.
--
tournament of goats. If you bubble (finish just outside the play-money prizes), you qualify.
--
tournament of minutemen, for players who busted first in a league game.
These will run the first Monday in April, with slightly staggered start times. It's heartily encouraged that you qualify for two or all three.

PPS -- Screen-names: Most of us are US-based, and so don't play for real money on stars, so it mostly doesn't matter any more. Still, my policy has always been to respect anyone who wishes to keep their Stars account name and 2+2 identity separate. I use 2+2 names on 2+2, and Stars names on Stars. Since we might get European, Canadian, or other non-US players, I think this is a good habit.
