2014 Leaderboard: Points Distribution...

1267

In Response to Re: 2014 Leaderboard: Points Distribution...:

1267 makes a very good point! It would mean the scoring system matches the actual payout system of an MTT exactly so no arguements about it being too top heavy or not top heavy enough, and monetary value doesn't make a difference if there is a seperate table for MEs and Minis. Also means there's automatic weighting for certain MTTs. i.e. it's more prestigious (imo) taking down the Primo than taking down Turbo Tuesday ME and that would be reflected in the payout.

Also with alot of the mains being Bounty hunters, the points system doesn't reflect head prizes.

To be clear, i don't mean proffit.  I mean cashes. 

 This will also make people play more mains if they are close to personal goals on the leaderboard making more rake for SKY .  Everyones a winner  (by everyone, i mean Sky, MATTBATES and TOMMYD ).

I didn't really want this to be about money. Obviously, that is how it ultimately translates, but a points system simply looks cleaner. Someone who wins one Primo event in 2014 is not necessarily better than someone who wins one Turbo event, just because he is paid more for it. The Primo gets fewer runners for a start. One Main Event is - for the purposes of the leaderboard - equal to every other... unless you want to make the Sunday Main Event worth double the points?

I have to disagree with that as a general rule !

Plus every1 has the option to play both tournes .

Everyone doesn't have the option to play both tournaments. The Primo costs a lot more and - despite the fact there are satellites - it is not accessible to players not rolled for it.

As I said, the Primo gets fewer participants, so there is an argument that way as well.

But, you know, if the majority want to make this about the money, I'm happy to go with it. But to be clear: I'd rather it was a points system.

Could we not just do the leaderboard on cash won ?

That seems like a fairly efficient system!

I agree with you Brian also I would have thought it would be easier to collate and update a points based table rather than having to record every cash.

Slipwater

It just does not feel as much fun if we are basing this on the financials.

And besides, you could get more money from winning one Roller, than another guy who wins eight or nine Turbo Main Events. Is the Roller winner better? Perhaps. But my feeling is that the leaderboard should reward consistency, not one bink.

FlashFlush suggestions seems a good compromise imo. Counting cashes would be a nightmare, in every Bounty Hunter you'd have to go through the whole field.

This is your baby Slipwater, everybody has had ample opportunity to give feedback now. I suggest you just choose what you think is best and run with it.

What do points make.........................?

Prizes

GELDY

if peeps want a more skewed distribution then doing it on some form of cash payout makes more sense than some arbitrary breakdown as used on other sites. but i don';t think that is what we are really looking for. The top cashers hardly need an extra prize from Sky, and there is always sharkie's leaderboard for their personal cash races.

so points make sense to me, easy to implement and understand, and gives someone who runs deep the chance to shine even if they don't manage to TID

+1 for FlashFlush.

Also +1 for just keeping it a simple points based system. As Geldy says, we have scope for those who are battling it out money wise.

Well clearly people want 20 places paid, that's why JD and Ski's points have the most votes, so if you want the jumps to get bigger, how about this... Can't see anything wrng with it personally... 30 - 24 - 19 - 16 - 13 - 10 - 7 - 5 - 3 - 2 (11-20 receive 1 point) It starts off with 1 point jumps, then to 2. Once you reach the final table it goes up in 3's until you get to HU and the win...

If people are still keen to do this for 2014, I'd like to discard the votes cast and go with this points system. It seems to take into account most of what has been said thus far

This is fine mate tick this one off and you have a good xmas Bri.
