Debacle

Several guys that play poker want to get a league going where year end prize is at minimum a $250 seat to the WSOP Harrah's St. Louis event in April. When I got back from the Mouse Races last night (google it) I drew up a quick rules outline. I want to make everything cut and dry with no room for personal interpretation. First time I have ever done anything like this, so if you guys could give me some thoughts or changes, Id appreciate it. Hoping for first game next Friday evening or Sunday afternoon.
League Rules
1.) The starting chip count will be $5,000 in chips.
2.) Blind structure will be as follows:
Small Large Ante Interval
5 10 0 10
10 20 0 10
15 30 0 10
20 40 0 10
25 50 0 10
50 100 0 10
BREAK
75 150 0 15
100 200 0 15
150 300 0 15
200 400 0 15
BREAK
250 500 0 15
250 500 25 15
250 500 50 15
250 500 75 15
BREAK
500 1000 100 15
500 1000 200 15
750 1500 200 15
1000 2000 200 15
After this point blinds will double every 15 minutes, and antes will go up by 100 every 30 minutes
3.) No discussing of the current hand while it is in play.
4.) No unesscary noise while others are involved in a hand.
5.) Buy-in is $20. Of this, $15 is put back into the prize pool, and $5 is committed to year end pot. Ultimate goal will be to buy ATLEAST one $250 satelite tournament seat into the main event.
6.) Tournament finishing point values will be as follows:
10 points for first
8 points for second
6 points for third
4 points for fourth
2 points for fifth
1 point for entering a tournament regardless of finishing position.
7.) End of year championship game(last tournament before WSOP at Harrah's St Louis) will be open to everyone, regardless of how many games they have played during the previous season
8.) Starting chip stack for the championship game will be $5,000 in chips plus 1000 for every 10 points earned. For instance, if you have 23 points, you will start the championship game with 7300 in chips.
9.) Verbal comittments play.
10.) No string betting. If chips cross the racetrack (or 6" past the common chip stacking area if playing on a surface with no racetrack) they will be considered a call or raise (if chips are more than current betting).
11.) Minimum bets are equal to the current big blind.
12.) Minimum raises are 2x the current bet.
13.) It is a players responsibility to protect their own hand. If a players hand touches a mucked hand, that hand will be voided.
