Last seasons results, the new season scoring method and the Jackpot

Congrats to Olly for winning the first poker season of 2009 (Jan -> June)! Jason came 2nd and Jeff managed to hold Davy off for 3rd place.

The new poker season started yesterday (July -> December) with a strong start from Jeff, Rod and Olly. Lee seems to have lost his mojo, maybe it goes with the territory. You can see the current league scoreboard here.

We recently had a performance issue on PokerDIY due to the amount of new poker leagues being created.

After tracking it down to a file system issue we had to temporarily remove the ability to change your poker league logo. The good news is that it is now fixed and easier than ever to upload your own image for your poker league!   Read more »

Improved poker league scoreboard updating

Those of you who manage your poker leagues on PokerDIY will know that in the past updating your poker league game results was a bit of a pain. If you were not using Dr Neau, STP or The Tournament Director to import your results, you'd have to enter them manually through the web or iphone.

One of our users eventually commented on how slow this process was and raised a Feature Request. Well, we listened and redesigned the process to make it much quicker and easier to record your game scores!

Australian Poker League - 2008 Results

It took me a while to write this report on the 2008 Australian Poker League Results! I was procrastinating after the devastating defeat I suffered at the hands of local poker champ Jeff Rourke. It turns out that Jeff is a regular at a poker tourney in Sydney city - he's even scopped the grand prize once or twice...

Firstly... the results: Well done Jeff - you are firmly in position number 1! I managed a respectable 2nd with local boy Olly moving up the charts in the last game to steal 3rd ahead of Chris! Special mention must go to Sandy who came last (but played a BLINDING game) and to Lee (who managed to lose the most amount of money without coming last).
