2016 Fantasy Poker 2nd June-July 18th Discussion thread..

Mid May latest.  Just about to start testing.

Will be contacting JM this week and perhaps finalise rules.. Gives people a month to do homework and pick their squad..

Will probably be 8-10 picks of your own choice, no Captains and most def Richards scoring system.

Get thinking folks, some new names def gonna be in the mix this year for sure

Like the idea of no categories but how about using the GPI for selecting your players based on rankings.
You have a team of 8-10 as suggested. GPI ranking 1-20 - 1 player selected (most valuable ) ranking 21-50, 2 players selected. Rankings 51-80 , 3 players selected etc.
Think this would help cut down on as many duplicate teams/players . Just a thought
Not sure if this makes much sense,  I"m ****e at trying to explain stuff lol

Think that just complicates matters a little.. If some teams are very similar I think that"s a good thing in some ways as if they flunk during the series it gives those who have done their homework and picked players out of the box so to speak and they do well it rewards them.

We haven"t had our usual debate about what to do with the Main Event yet.

Does our new scoring system apply equally to the ME, or is there a bonus?

When does the competition end? What happens if the result isn"t decided when the final table is reached? Do we wait til November or close it off in July? If we end it, do we give all final-tablists the same points (how many?) or score it by chip-count? What about the WSOP National Championship, which is a bracelet event (my girl Loni won it last year, but no need to mention that). http://www.wsop.com/news/2015/Jul/7443/LONI-HARWOOD-WINS-WSOP-NATIONAL-CHAMPIONSHIP-AND-341K.html

I don"t think I have an opinion on any of this, other than that we should decide it all now to avoid uncertainty later on.

The scoring system is the same for ME as others John.. TBH the collososs and Milly maker etc are huge feilds to navigate aswell..
If by any chance a player reaches the November 9 I"m sure it probably wouldn"t change the result of the July table? But we could indeed score it by chip count to decide a winner.

Lonnie who??
