A quirky alternative........
It's entirely possible that most, or even all, the UKPOS Events will be won by players who do not frequent the Community. Fair play to them, no prob with that, but a bit of a damp squib if we want a "fun Community sweat" where many of us know each other & want to cheer each other on.
It would add a ton of work, of course, but if we had a criteria that to qualify for this Fun Leaderboard, you had to have (say) 10 Posts on the Community prior to UKOPS starting......
Shall I go get me coat?
OK, fair enough.
"Nothing like making it as convoluted as possible, eh?"
Always happy to oblige.
lol, good idea TK. That not been mentioned so far.
No Comment from me at mo. Brian may have tho....lol
[PS are you playing FOSP PLO8 tonight TK??]
Thus whoever has bought into UKOPS, by definition, should also be part of this.
It Only adds to the Challenge, as this thread does, lol
good idea, especially as the ukpc seat prize is aimed at skypoker players and those who frequent the forum. furthemore, what about those who have played more than, say, 10 mtts in the past year?
But does not Brians idea of being favourable points-wise to smaller Events cater for this...
The Community Players & Regs will play Most or Many of These..
Random Top Pros will only dive in for the Biggies No???
....and if we dont tell them about this thread, they will never know, lol!!!
SHHHHHHHHHhhhhh!!!
.....giving a point to those who cash? this has been rejected.
it really needs to be in the T&C otherwise the prize must go to whomever wins. no matter how much of a cuckoo they might be.
I would think sky should be happy with either:
a) a Sky newbie high-rolling Shark winning
b) a smaller stakes player winning
both could easily be used for publicity to drive plenty of traffic here in future
as for numbers to score - either just stick with Slippy's current leaderboard version or proposed reduced version. serial min-cashers are not going to win regardless, so it's a bit of a waste of time and effort to give them points. Let's not forget the dedication needed to make this happen - make it too much work and it'll never happen again.
"small" events? brian's system favours events with few runners.
the high roller will have fewest runners. higher buy-in will equate to fewest runners.
regs on skypoker will play fewer high buy-in tournaments than the top pros
the points system will favour top pros
(note to self - bullet points better than multiple ands in future but not got the time to waste re-formatting for now)
disagree.
Hold on – I need to log out and log back in on my other laptop first.
If anything, the point system favours the warm up events not the high roller given the number of runners in them, quality of field and the number of them.
hi matt,
quality and "not-quality" players will play numerous games, irrespective of buy in or field size
however, fewer not-quality players will play high buy in games.
there is no recognition of field size in brian's system
this is a bit turkey-for-christmas. if you see yourself as someone who will happily play the £100+ games then brian's system is something you should vote for. if you will play few £100+ games then it isn't.
if i were you, i would vote for brian's system
All right.
The top 5% of runners are awarded points.
The top ten players are (example numbers only) awarded the following:
25 – 22 – 19 – 17 – 15 – 13 – 10 – 8 – 6 – 4
…and the remainder gets 1 point.
Better?
the best i can suggest is
1st 10 points
2ns 8 points
3rd 6 points
4th 5 points
5th 4 points
6th 3 points
7th - 10th 2 points
cash 1 point
no tiers, no bonus points, small range, award cashers, smooth intervals in the range.
I think the most important thing is that a player joining halfway still thinks it's worth trying and the second most important is that it's really easy to explain.
How about a freeroll is played for the prize and to get into the freeroll you have to cash twice in any event throughout UKOPS?
Obviously you could argue that someone may cash really early in two and not bother playing again but that won't effect too many. For most players you are in contention until the third last event and for some the 2nd last and it's super easy to explain.
You could make the freeroll a live thing at DTD and give some other prizes or hold it online.
Sorry to throw a spanner in the works late on.
It's good to have Neil's input on the thread - I feel as though I've made it now.
Though this is open for misinterpretation.
