Player Of The Series
« on: August 04, 2008, 09:32:44 AM »
How about some kind of "Player of the Series" ranking?

Either just for fun (read "Bragging Rights") or perhaps a small prize... Medal or seat to a National in S3? (It may help sell a few more seats?)

Maybe points scored for FT appearances... 9 for 1st place - down to 1 for 9th place.

Great idea. I"d extend the points from 1st to 20th though.

I"d certainly support it for fun and add an APAT polo shirt for the winner.  Same points for all events?

Sounds good

OK then... re. points - my original suggestion was FT"ers, however I would agree that is a bit restrictive... Ian suggested final 20, but in a field of 25 (last time I looked at Stud) this seems to be too many. Plus, assuming Razz & Stud are 8 handed, then 17-20th will happen while still 3 tables... will ayone be paying full attention to finishing order at this point?

My new suggestion would be the final 16 places...

1st 20 pts
2nd 17 pts
3rd 15 pts
4th 13 pts
5th 12 pts
6th 11 pts
.
.
14th 3 pts
15th 2 pts
16th 1 pts

This means there will only be two tables left when the points start, so I"m sure exit order will be accurately documented... there is a small bonus for those in the last few places, but not so large that the 4 winners (assuming there are 4 different ones) are can still easily be caught by anyone doing reasonably well in more than one tourney.

Whad"ya think then?

This is very similar to the points structure I use in the Poker League I run, and it works very well.

Gets my Vote.

To make this work, the recording of places will have to be manageable and not overly favour those in the smaller of the four events - namely the Stud and Razz.  I would suggest points are allocated to the final 9 in the four events.
