APAT UK Team Championship - January 2011

You are correct.

If I recall correctly, point are awarded for the top 50 places. 50th gets 1 point, 49th gets 2 points .....etc..until 1st gets 50 points.

Team with the most points wins.

top 40 i think

[Jon MW]

So does that mean it will be top 50 for this season?

[AMRN]

Personally I think it should be top 200 - 1 point for last place, sliding to 200 points for winner.

If a player makes it to say 80th, they have faired much better than the guy who went out in 200th place, yet in current format they score the same......

[TightEnd]

It"s top 50, same format as last year

All 200 play one MTT. The initial draw ensures no two players from the same team are on the same table. After that its pot luck

50th place gets 1 point and so on up to 50 points for first

Top three teams paid out 50% of the prize pool

The other 50% is paid as per a normal MTT to top 10% of the field, ie top 20 places


As a ready reckoner, the event has been run twice before with 150 runners and the winning team needed 4-5 of the 8 to hit the points, and 2-3 on the final table

A nice idea, but administratively very difficult. Not so much for recording the scores but relying on every single member of the field to tell you when they get knocked out is hugely optimistic, especially for some teams once the bar has opened!

Due to the split prize pool I thnk it cd b a gd idea to just pay the final table. Obv too late to be a valid suggestion for ths yr but something in the ideas box for next.

No its not too late, we can adjust on the weekend. Feedback beforehand will be part of the decision making process

I think this is an excellent idea, after all, the Team Championship isn"t like any other APAT events and so there is no reason why the "standard" payouts should apply.

FT (of 10) sounds reasonable.

[deanp27]

just pay out the winner imo  

[AMRN]

just pay out the winner imo  

LOL!!

Final table payout feels right considering the reduced prize pool

[ajcairns]

the prize money may be split but in reality the 3 teams that cash will also form many of the top 20 spots and so should make up for the lower individual payouts.  However paying out 20 offers a lone player that has outplayed the rest of his team the chance of some compensation for doing so.

[Jon MW]

I think 200th should get nothing

1st place should get 90% of the individual prize pool

and the remaining 10% should be evenly split between 2nd and 199th

[SirPercival]

Last year it was only the final table that was paid.

Please don"t ask me how I know this.

[Curlarge]

I agree with the FT only being paid. This way 190 of us will be bubble boys (or girls), which will make for a better story when boring my wife late Sunday.
