The rules:

• Cost/Prize Pool - This one costs you nothing to enter. Sixandfourum has donated $10 as a prize money split into 55($5.50)/30($3.00)/15($1.50)
• Games/Points - It will cost you nothing to play as we'll only count points from the Play Chip tournies on PokerStars. Competitors will be split into two teams, and points will be earned by the team members "cashing" in the 3 PokerStars tournies, Bananarama, Elektra and TT - the New Nuts. There will be 5 weeks of games played on Jan 1st & 2nd, 8th & 9th, 15th & 16th, 22nd & 23rd and 29th & 30th. Points will be the earned according to the formula [Prize Won/(Buy in - rake)] (So if you play a 100+9 tourny and come first to win 500 you have earned 5 points.)
• Team Wins/Individual Points - We will keep track of team points each week to decide a winning team, and individual points will be tracked for the whole month. At the end of the month each player will have a score that counts the number of times they were on the winning team and their total points earned. (e.g. 4/5 - 45.7 meaning they were on the winning team 4 out of 5 weeks and the earned 45.7 points.) The person with the most team victories takes first place with individual points used as a tie so the final leader board might look like this:
  • 1st ~ 4/5 - 35.7
  • 2nd ~ 4/5 - 29.4
  • 3rd ~ 3/5 41.8
• Team Redraws - Teams will be drawn randomly for the first week, and redrawn for weeks 2, 3, 4 & 5 according to the individual points table - Team 6 will be 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th & 9th and Team 4 will be 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th & 11th (etc as needed)
• Team Sit Outs - One person from each team will be chosen before each game to "sit out". They players "sitting out" can still play and earn individual points, but their points will not count towards the team total. Each team member votes for the sit outs before the games start. A PM before Bananrama listing your choices for the weeks games is all that is required. You cannot sit out the same person more than once in any week.

You know Fletch, 3 or 4 cups of tea and he gets all wound up. 

Yeah we just need to account for it in the points. So if you rebuy and add on you played for a buy in of 300 and you'd only win 1/3 of the points. That was my mistake in the OTT. And thanks for bringing up such a painful memory.

That's what we're looking for.

This is a competition for absolutely everyone, folks. No moniez required.

Count me in if you would please sir.

Yeah I was drunk when I wrote the rules.


Yes, teams change up every week and the points you earn in any week go towards the points for the team (unless you've been chosen to sit out for that game) BUT the points you earn keep accumulating for the whole month for your individual score.


No. The first week they'll be chosen randomly, then after that they'll be chosen according to the individual points score of all the players.


No-one is voted out for good. You are just voting for who sits out for the particular games that week. If the teams are even in numbers then they both pick one member to sit out. If one team has more players, then that team votes for 2 players to sit out, so that both teams have the same number of players earning points for them.


There are half the number of players on each team, + or - 1 (if there's an odd number of people in the competition).


Yes you are.

instead of all that.... could take the simple automated route and use the "home games points"  1 point per entrant and not affected by buy-in amount, or re-buys ect, and will record each players points throughout

couple pics below, one is reg 100+9 freezeout, other was one of the re-buys...

so we could do the same (total points available is tied to number of entrants in tourney) but just make it 50/30/20 or whatever (hopefully it doesn't happen but, only pay 2 places if theres 8 or less in the tourny, 1 place for 5 or less)




seriously ?  



 

what about if team votes to sit player x, then player y never shows,

or shows but must leave for an emergency ect (obv. this would need to be actual emergency and on players honor, not abused to take advantage)

can the player that was voted to be "sitting" but is actually playing (for the individual pts) stand in and have his pts count for the team



one other note: if we only have 9 total, would be a good idea to schedule these without late registration (if that's possible) so that we're not spread across 2 tables with 4/5 players and 2 or 3 sitting out as often happens in the early going

It still has the potential to overweigh rebuys as is.  If someone wins without rebuying or adding on, that game alone could be worth 5, 6, or more wins.  In effect, you could have the same situation we had last time; there's just a reduced chance of it.

Of course. Do you not think if someone doesn't rebuy or add on and takes it down they deserve the 26 points?

No, not really.  This is a series of games, not one.  I guess if you don't mind that particular game effectively rendering the rest of the games useless, fine, but it defeats the purpose of playing a mini season overly rewarding someone for one good day.  Jamie Gold won the Main Event; does that make him the Player of the Year?

nope, might say "it's a holiday" if it is one.... or one could be on or go on a holiday vacation

here a holiday is a specific day of significance (christmas, thanksgiving, easter ect)
  
all holidays* are a vacation, but not all vacations are holidays (*unless you have a job where you have to work on that holiday, then it's still a holiday, but not vacation)

 

absolutely.... vacation from work, or anything thing(s) or situation(s)....don't have to travel to make so, you've still removed yourself from, ie; vacated work ....and are in a state of vacation





I'll let ya know after the holidays
