APAT Bunch Of Fives

[Chipaccrual]

There may be others, like me, who think that if they can"t play all five then the prizes are out of their reach - in which case they may not play any at all.

But the scoring system is such that the advantage goes to those that are proficient in the more popular games. Say the Draw and Stud games only have 8 runners each yet the PLO has 20 runners, then 4th place in the PLO receives more points than someone who wins both the Stud AND Draw. Hence play just the popular games and you have every chance of winning.

Pretty much what he said

Fair enough. I reckon I"ll watch from the sidelines this week and see how it all pans out.

The best way is to use the filters.. Then search alphabetically I usually block out running and finished I believe the APAT games are coloured also but I may be wrong, hope to see you at tables Nellie good to see you back xx

I think the scoring system on this looks rather skewiff with regard to players getting knocked out in the late reg period and the ranking that they are assigned by the software.

Player A gets knocked out first when there are only 30 players and is awarded 30th place, Player B gets knocked out an hour and a half later after another say 15 players have registered and is awarded say 41st place. Player A gets 16 points for lasting 10 minutes compared to Player B"s 5 points.

I was watching the places for a while and thought the same but then I thought maybe it"s on the amount of hands played. I"m sure the one who went out third didn"t actually finish 3rd from bottom (38th)..
There was also I think two players who finished 34th and two another position 25th I think..
There was also a point when there was about 35 left in that someone already finished was placed as 28th so there was some sort of program running to sort out your positions if you started after the first hand was dealt.
Apart from having to sit out twice because I"m the family taxi I thought is was OK...

Ok im officially confuddled.. i dont understand any of it?.. Maybe its programmed to stop people reg a min before ends so they gain an advantage of climbing the points ladder if that works? either way im sure the eventual winner will be the person who played the best over the whole 5 events and not those who joined as when during the first 60 mins.. but i could be wrong i normally am

I also agree with sugar_Free comments and find it perverse that I was KOed first and still got 14 points.
I think in leaderboard tournaments, it would be best not to have late entries. Theres no reason why people who cant make the start time, couldn"t pre-register, thus having the penalty of having lost some blinds before they begin the tournament.

I played well into post late-reg last night. I late reg"d by about 5 minutes with aprox 27 players entered but finished 39th for 3 points only to see players who went out before me with more points!

However, having reg"d for tonights game I unfortunately never got chance to play or de-register.... Earned a healthy 11 points though!

I"m better when I don"t turn up!!

I"ll have a look at finding a solution for this guys.

We had a similar situation when we ran this on another site in a previous season, I"m not sure any of the poker software actually is able to manage exits properly in the early stages when late reg is available. (I"ll have to check Stars, as if anyone can do it, then it"s probably them)

Yes, it could make a difference to the overall standings, and if I think that this is having a dramatic impact, then we may have to consider removing late reg.

I don"t want to do that, as I know some players don"t get home for 7pm, so a 60 minute window is ideal for them, but I will look into the options.

Just give points to the top 20 places or if you want to reward people for playing each game then add an extra point or 2 just for playing
