Agreed, the increases that scouse indicated seem fair though? especially when you factor in that bonus points are awarded for taking bounties which should offer a little incentive to not simply ladder.
I guess we can just scrap any points bonus if there are no major objections, I mean it is a fair point that winning both on one night would already mean you were getting a huge haul of points.
We are loosely going with a reverse scoring where last place gets 1 point and 2nd last 2 points etc with 1 point gained for each upwards position attained. An extra 2 points for 3rd, extra 3 points for 2nd and an extra 5 points for 1st. Everyone will also get an extra point for every bounty they take.
It will be capped and your best 10 results from either/or the £5.50 or £11.00 buy in PLO8 BH's will count.
No bonus for winning both in 1 night.
Leaderboard will start Monday 6th February and run for the rest of February. From 1st of March the leaderboards will run for each calendar month.
Scouse is kindly doing some dry runs and will post these for everyone to have a look at on Saturday. If there are no major disagreements I can make a thread on Saturday evening with a more succinct description of the tourneys and leaderboard and we could move all updates and results over to that thread.
A big thanks again to Sky for supporting this, to scouse for his efforts and to everyone for their feedback. It has been nice to see so many people, including some mostly NLHE players turning out for these.
Whatever Sky decide will be great, they have been brilliant in supporting these games so far!
Again I agree with the 'most heads in a night' point, will be up to Sky what they think though.
tables look ok.
I thought we were going to do an added point value system for FT, 3rd-1st.
marky had suggested 5pts for 1st, maybe 1-6 for 6th to 1st makes sense?
opinions?
As long as this is workable for scouse and nobody has major objections of course.
Safc71-gets 46 points for his 3rd not 48.
my 1st in the £11 gets 41 not 46.
I think some of DONN001 are wrong but counting backwards is tough!
sorry!
Think foreign hols are out for a while, baby scouse due this year I hear. Congrats you old dog you.
And obv with another mouth to feed he won't be able to afford to be ill.
Some general thoughts about these games which can be taken with whatever amount of salt you wish...
The £11 £300 GTD missed it's guarantee as it only had 26 runners. I dont think this is down to the popularity of the tourney but rather football on tonight etc and the site being quiet. The OH8 SNG's looked painfully slow when I looked in. Having said that there will be slow nights and much as I hate to admit it £250 GTD for the 11er and £150 GTD for the 5er might safeguard against this (thinking purely from Sky's perspective, it is fine with me if the guarantees are raised to £1million lol).
One other point I have noticed...
The games start at 15 minutes past the hour and late reg is 40 minutes. Late registration and the 5 minute break are scheduled to start at the same time. Most nights the break falls with about 20 seconds left on the clock, which is then stopped for the break so players get 5 minutes longer to register and there is usually a few more last minute entrants. Some nights though (tonight included) the timing works that late reg stops marginally before the break so there is 5 minutes+ less real time to register (this could have been the deciding factor tonight). If late registration could be increased by just 5 minutes it would probably make a significant difference in the long run.
Cheers m8 was down to just over a bb 8 left i think and chilling gave me odds off 66/1 (so at that price had to romp home) said to chill that i had to run like god and 20 min later was 1st so all down to chilling :}
well done in the £11 very well played i was ok in that then just gave my stack away got a couple of bounties so they paid my entry.
Think these are great not as crazy as i thought they would be pretty much the same as the £5.50 8.30 game not really noticed any difference in the 1s i have played
Our practice session of HU PLO8 SNG's today must have done some good!
I bet Brian is trying to forget about that! You just bust his bubble lolz...
