    I think this is a great league and well done for starting it however just a bit of early feedback though it seems the overall monthly results will be dependent on the 7.15 tourney results rather than the 9.15 one. The 7.15 has far more runners so a decent run will gain far more points in what should be an easier tournament as the buy in is lower.

    For example winning the 9.15 last night would have got 41 points, the same as finishing 15/61 in the 7.15.

    Would be fairer to us an adjustment factor to give the 9.15 equivalent weighting or is that getting far too picky for what is in effect a bit of fun?  

    Or maybe separate monthly prizes for 7.15 and 9.15 results?

    Just my two penneth worth, tell me to s*d off if you want!

    It is a fair point Enut. Me and Chris both noticed this a few days ago and Chris has found a solution. We didn't change anything for this month as it was a bit late in the day. Couldn't agree more with your point though and we can change it for month 2 of the league :)

    Mark beat me to it lol,

    I'm working on it as we speak Enut and will have it in place for next month's league. I'm gonna do some dry runs to make sure it's all good to go first tho, and, as Mark says it's a bit late now for this one

    Glad your enjoying it ......... and feedback is great :)

    I agree with the above points. I wouldn't over adjust though, as beating a larger field has its merits as does winning in a larger BI event. 

    It's a case of trying to finding the right balance between encouraging recs to play who are only rolled for the £5 er and encouraging those who can play both to play both.

    At the moment it is skewed to the £5er, it would be better EV to play all the £5s and no £11 rather than both for half the nights. 

    If you go too far and make it better EV to play the £11er every night than both for half the nights then that would potentially affect the good numbers in the £5er.

    Not easy - don't envy you - wish I had a suggestion that solved this perfectly, but unfortunately I don't.

    Yes the feedback is great :)

    I might have a new suggestion too depending on how my last suggestion in the other thread for these games goes down. Time will tell, early days etc etc. Hopefully numbers can keep up and if they do we can find the correct balance for Month 2 onwards.

    hi, been following the thread from afar but alas cannot play this week. WP to Pomm. Great start.

    i undertsand where your comming from Enut, but does it matter? its the same for everyone.
    if lets say its best to play the 5.5 to win the league, thats ok. Winning players can also profit from the 11 as well.

    i'd be interested to see what scouse/marky have come up with to balance the fields but agree with phantom, dont make too many changes. 

    GL all.

    No, Suzy, it absolutely doesn't matter to me, I certainly won't play anything like the number that some will so have little to gain personally but it just dawned on me when looking at the first few results and thought I would raise the topic before anyone had a real moan (I know that we're ploppers so that probably wouldn't happen but you only need one of those pesky holdem players to chip in and it could all kick off!)

    A fairly logical solution would be to adjust the score by the ratio of the number of entrants in the two tournaments and then add the bonus points on for final tabling. This would cater for the fact that this would change daily to reflect the number of entrants to each. Unfortunately though this would be time consuming for Scouse as he would have to factor it into his spreadsheet each day.

    Wish I hadn't brought this up now, at least for the fact that I should be working and keep getting side tracked!

    Yeah I think the new changes will make things much more balanced.

    I think Sky hoped that the stuff we do with regards to the promotion would encourage participation in both tourneys so it wouldn't be ideal to continue with a model that renders one of them bordering on meaningless in relation to league points.

    Not a major change though in relation to the overall setup.

    The feedback and fact we are all working this out is great. It really is a cracking little OH8 community we have on here. :)

    Edit: P.S. It would be great to have some feedback on the latest suggestion I mentioned in the other thread about all this stuff. I think it would help grow the player pool and help numbers in these games too.

    Morning all.

    Just want you all to be aware that whilst the £5er affair is going great guns, the £10er missed Guarantee last night. It has been touch & go most nights actually.

    If it cannot meet the Guarantee, it WILL be reduced.

    Time to rally the troops.

    PLAYER 7.15 9.15 TOTAL

    just as a footnote to Tikay's post above, in the first 3 nights we have been doing tables for this, there have been 146 unique players and of those 146, 66 have been unique entries in the 9.15

    obv not everyone can play every night, however it goes to show that the player base is certainly there

    so to repeat what tikay posted

    Will certainly try and rally the troops in any way I can. Personally as mentioned I think the guarantee is a bit snug though. £250 would probably be nearer the mark IMO. The tourney attracts higher numbers some nights. This might be down to the timing and players less inclined to sign up for a tourney midweek that could last till after midnight if they need to be up early. Not sure what other time slots could work better though.

    Great news Chris has posted about unique player numbers! There certainly seems to be the player pool on the site and if the pool could be increased further the oh8 games in general could do pretty well.

    Edit: do you think the later game would do better if it was a turbo? I personally wouldn't like this as the structure is brilliant in these but thinking of the preferences of players as a whole a turbo 'might' work better.

    So can we count on you turning up tonight for a wee game?  Would probably help numbers quite a bit...

    I won't post any 'suggestions' for a whole day if you do! Who knows you may even like the games :D

    Thanks for the update Scouse.

    If this all runs next month and the new £5.50 @ 9:15pm works out comparable to the 7:15pm game then I guess it may make this more streamlined and scoring 'less problematic'?

    Personally I think the £5.50 at 9:15pm will struggle on occasion and not on others as I think both the timing and buy in were affecting the 9:15pm game a little so the set-up may change. If had the chance to personally choose I would have kept the £11 and made it a £150-£200 GTD tourney and added one or two smaller buy in BH's around teatime. Then again what do I know and I obviously don't get to choose :)

    All in all just happy we extra PLO8 MTT's!
