But seriously...how is this team play. 1st place and 2nd place for teams decided by a single player from each team. If it's just me that finds this redic, then fine. :-) as always.

+1 to this - another great Monday evening - really enjoyed it as always. Well done to all winners and teams.
Thanks very much to all you number crunchers out there for organising this. Love it!

Graham...
These lads contributed this week, Massively to their TEAMS Cumulative performance, next week another team member will probably do the same!!
If any team manages to get 3 in top ten, they will prob win the weekly table, but over a month the TEAM with most success will win!!
This enables ALL teams to take part fairley with a chance of a result..,a la, Tikays fine 'solo' for team Sky!
We have been here before, bur hopefully everyone seems happy, esp with new format! I Hope you enjoyed it, as seemed did ALL players & their substantial & sporting rails!!
Gl Mate, and thanks for your intelligent input, without you & Maxally I would be a lost soul in the confusion of Life!!
You are, of course, most welcome. I hear next year's Olympic cycling races are going to award the team medals to the country of the first rider past the post. Love the new scoring format for 2 reasons. 1. The night is not over when some donk (i.e. me) ruins one tournament. 2. Tikay would have won last night otherwise. Posted by Eyeman
Well it looks like it's gonna be a Cracking Month Folks
We had 13 New Players who made there Debut last nite & from the Feedback they all Enjoyed Themselves (n1). The Top 5 were all from Different Teams so i reckon Hitmans Team League could be close this Month (TKP FTW) & The New Scoring Format seems to work for us all (am pleased) Can it get any better (i hope so). Also good luck to all in Imbers Forum DTD Fantasy League some Great Prizes up for grab.And a Big Thanks to Chris (scouse_red) for doing the Spreadsheet (it's only taken 9 months to sort out a Formula so we can now copy & paste everything)
Good Luck to all DTDers that will be at Nottingham DTD this weekend would be Great if one of us Took it Down as there are 42 of us playing so far, i'm looking forward to having a Beer or 2
Struggling to see how a team competition can be won by a team with a single points scorer. Perhaps the most peculiar scoring system in history. Posted by Eyeman
Well no team had more than 2 point scorers, so really not that surprising that 1st place took it down.

Not true, TNP came 2nd with 2 scorers beating TKP into 3rd despite the TKP player finishing higher.
So we need to look at the whole scoring system, perhaps? In all team games I have ever seen, more than one team member must count towards the "team total". If tikay is in a team of 1 - that's NOT a team, and to fudge the scoring to make it so a single person can be a team is madness. However, I also know it's a bit of fun, and as such, appreciate the time and effort put in by the chuckle brothers and the Hitman.
interesting fact about my game last nite in, in all 3 tournies i never got pocket aces once and pocket ks once, so quite happy were i finished apart from 7.15 (note to self do better). but the main thing is i enjoyed it

I'll withdraw then.
I'm only in it for fun, & don't want to be the cause of needless aggro, God knows there is enough of that around already!
Chris/Michael, please withdraw me from the Promotion. I will still play the Events, though, I play for the fun, not aggro.
I was not even aware I had to be part of a Team. I happened to say to Chris & Michael yesterday that I would join them for "Forum DTD" last night, & they said "don't forget to stick your name on the Thread". So I did. Had I won any prizes - as unlikely as that may be - I would have passed them to the next man/Team below me, in any case.

I think the scoring is fine tbh. This whole team element is just an added fun factor so I can't say i'm fussed how many players each team has.
Just to clear things up Forum DTD is & always has been for Individuals to have a Cheap Night of Poker Entertainment while having Fun & to encourage New Players to the Forum to have a go as well. Then teams were formed & it adds a bit of spice to the Banter at the tables.
Any Questions Reguarding Forum DTD & Scoring just ask me
Any Questions Reguarding Team League & Scoring then ask on Hitman RV Thread in Team Talk Section of the Forum.
I only put Tikay as a Team (TSP) & Mickjenn1 (Team Fish) to add to the Fun. Last Month i had James Hartigan as Team Bounty (no complaints) cause it's always good to try & knock them out of a Tourney or 2 (bragging rights) they are playing cause they like to have Fun & long may it continue.

I think that would be a shame and you are being a bit hasty with your decision.
Eyeman doesn't seem to like the team scoring as a whole and your withdrawl would make little difference to that
I also think "aggro" is a bit strong. Surely Eyeman is just debating the validity of the team scoring and he's more than entitled to do that.
Personally I have no problem with the team points system and, as you say, the team league is purely for fun.
I hope you will reconsider tikay, as it will be less fun without you in it.

Hi Eyeman. There seems to be a little confusion here - The "Team league" has nothing to do with the Monday Forum DTD as such. Apart from the fact that we use those 3 tournies to score the team points.
The Monday Forum DTD is an individual event which takes place every Monday and it is very much "every man for him/her self".
Players who are part of a team are highlighted solely so we can have a bit of banter on the tables.
The Points for the teams is run seperately to the Monday Forum DTD and is the sole responsibility of HitMan_RV who has volenteered his time to keep the scoring in the team league (Which has nothing to do with Forum DTD) up to date. His scoring system is different to the DTD and is scored on a players highest finishing position.
10 points - 1st place 9 points - 2nd place 8 points - 3rd place.............etc etc etc and a point for a tournament win
So 1 team player finishing 1st gives your team 10 points. If 2 team players finish in 1st & 3rd, they will get 10 points + 8 Points (18 Total) so it matters not really whether you enter 1 team player or 20 team players really. But obviously the more team players you get in the top 10 the more points you are likely to score in the Team League.
Please do not mix the team league scoring system with the Forum DTD individual scoring system up - they are not the same.
I would suggest that any complaints about the "Team Scoring" should be addressed on the team results thread in "Team Talk" and not on the Monday Forum DTD Thread so people don't get confused.

once again i must come to the defence of the old gent, tk is a team of one and finished above team 51. who had 21 runners shame on us. well done tk, we had 21 chances to beat him we failed. i know its any two from three.but it sorts itself out with numbers. you could if you wanted to divide tk,s total by 2 to bring a one man team more into line but weres the fun in that. if we cannot beat him with 21 runners then i think the way the scoring is done is fair. i think having one team member is a handicap as is having a team of 21 it does balance out
I think we're all missing the fact it's a bit of fun Posted by scouse_red
Lol - I think we're all missing the fact that only one person doesn't understand the scoring system for the Team League (Apart from Maxally and that don't count surely lol) and if maxy had his way, the Monday forum DTD would be a re-buy hee hee!!!!
I really dont see a problem here, Eyeman has merely expressed an opinion on the scoring system, as he and maxally often do, [nothing a gagging order cant sort tho], and we should really take it as a compliment, that it means so much to Everyone, that EVERYONE can take part & Join in!!
The Important thing is the Forum DTD!! An individual Competition for what is an individual sport[game?]!!
The Team league is just an interesting Bolt-on that some seem to find more important than others!!
Remember this was just a 'FUN' thing between Team Knightplop & Team Hitsquad,[when we were only 4!}, that merely used The Excellent DTD as a vechile for a challenge between us, of course, with the Permission of Chris & Michael.
The measure of it's joint success is now clearly seen with Much larger numbers & many teams with many players! Also many established players seem to be regulars without wanting to be in a Team, [solack] etc. and We respect that,as we do any new smaller teams that join & grow succesfully [TNP, 51]!
I actually think with a bit of tweeking in past the whole thing has developed wonderfully and this fun has spread throughout the Forum threads & the live events, with top players & presenters lovin to be invovled or just banter!!
My Point is seriously......!!
That Sky should be over the Moon[Saint] with us all!! ...AND..... should credit eveyones account who took part last nite, with a £100 bonus for sporting behavior OR...
....I will change the scoring system so no-one can understand it......I MEAN IT!!
