WSOP Fantasy teams rules and selections..(page3)

[fandango]

Thanks for the great work John some great updates!!

Now there seems to be a little confusion lol.. Me and John basically have confused the hell out of each other..

I was under the impression that the series was over and Rob had won the first prize of series sweat and added seat.

Then the second prize of the ME event sweat was for who"s team of players scored the most points in the ME? (double points)

But John was wondering why the points where doubled for ME?

What was the rest of you understanding? Prehaps i hadn"t made rules 100% clear.. Just going from what we had done in previous years..

Ermmmm HELP!

[Swinebag]

I didn"t suggest "double points" for the Main.

For the record, my suggestion (which was rejected) was 5 for cashing and 10 for FT.

Am happy with any ruling......



As long as I win

[Swinebag]

Great work Guys btw

Beer/drink on its way when I catch up in Leeds

too late now but i didn"t hate last years "who"s team cashed for the most in the ME"

[Sir Donk]

I was under the impression it was double points for the ME.

[fandango]

My main question is what was your impression of the rules regarding the separate prize pools..

I intended as we have have every year to have 2 different games as if one players team runs away with the series then we all have a sweat with the main event..

So are we all happy that I send Rob his winnings for his squad scoring most points over series?

Then when the bubble bursts in the ME we can track the players still left in who will score points, and we can work out the winner of the ME sweat?

Or where some of you under the impression your team was still scoring for whole series with the ME added scoring double points?

If this sounds confusing then post your queries here please..

This is what I thought it was.

Thanks Mark it is what we have done the last three years..

[fandango]

Prize.. Keep it free and all play for the added value seat that has been kindly donated by APAT or have a cash kitty at £10 for a series and ME only sweat or £5 for those who just want one of either of their choice?

No one just paid the £5 so I presume prehaps it was clear.. I do remember last year someone did just pay £5 for the series sweat.

I don"t think that much is in doubt though. I thought the first competition included the Main Event, with the second one being just the ME. If that is not the case, then that"s fine, though I"m not sure why there was a debate about the points for the ME in that case, ie whether it counts double and so on. Luckily, it isn"t a close finish and it makes no difference this time round as Rob is either guaranteed to win or already the winner. I guess we"d better clarify the rules though.

Yes John agree every year we need to tweak the rules, we have had some issues with rules prehaps next year someone who could prehaps volunteer to go through and write up the rules so we are all clear on scoring etc etc  

So congratulations to Rob Swindells on winning the series sweat if you can PM me your bank details Rob will ship £80 your way.. I"m sure if you PM Des regarding your £82.50 national ticket I"m sure he will point you in the right direction..

The ME is well under way and the bubble is expected to pop on day 4 so when it does we can start to see who is in the mix for the prize.. Those who have put their faith in a certain Phil Ivey will be hoping he can continue his fantastic start!!

Gl all and many thanks to John for all his hard work in tracking cashes and logging I"m sure we can buy the old fella a beer when we meet next  

[MintTrav]

Congrats to Rob.

Can we specify how the winner of the Main Event bit is decided? Is it on the basis of points? I can foresee that leading to a multi-way tie, with several people having four or five of their team cashing. Is each team"s total cashes a better method?

too late now but i didn"t hate last years "who"s team cashed for the most in the ME"

[fandango]

I think total cashes would be the best format, but happy with majority

[fandango]

Money has been sent to Rob..

[Swinebag]

Money received with thanks.

Thanks again to Carlos and Damon for running this.


Will probably play the Leeds comp. shall I contact Des closer to the time about this?
