** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

Another impresive turnout on friday. Here's the details for tonight's challenge.


Ok for those who don't know what this is, on Pokerstars on a few days during the week (friday is one of them) they have a slew of Micro buying ($1, $2, $3) multi table tournaments. So I organize a competition to see who can perform best in these tournaments for the night. Entry fee is $10, winner take all.

The brand spankin new (but still BETA and if this sucks, will change again) scoring system is:

1% - 150 pts
2% - 145 pts
3% - 140 pts
...
29% - 10 pts
30% - 5 pts

w/ 5 bonus points for each place at the FT. An extra 10 points for 9th, 15 for 8th, 20 for 7th, 25 for 6th, 30 for 5th, 35 for 4th, 40 for 3rd, 45 for 2nd, 50 for 1st.

Alright, hopefully this works out.

(Thanks to GrinningBuddha for this)
-----
I'm listening to suggestions on the scoring system, if anyone has any ideas.
-----

Ok so these are the tournaments included:

8 - NLHE $3
9 - NLHE $2
9:30 - Stud $1
9:45 - NLHE $3
10 - NLHE $1
10:15- NLHE $2
10:30- NLHE $1
10:45- NLHE $2
11 - NLHE $1

--------
Defending champ: Blindcurve

--------

Send $10 to Exitonly4 to get in, acceepting $ from now till 9:30pm
--------

Hope i didn't forget anything, if i did lemme know..

Good luck everybody.


edit::

And this week there is a $50 2nd level bet.... Anynyone who wants to compete for a $50 each pool (Adanthar mentioned this, Me and Golden did it friday) Just say so, and send $60 instead (that'll get you into both pools, the $10 and the $50)

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

Money sent. Lez go, boys.

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

I've been wanting to do this for weeks now, but due to time zones (damn those time zones) all the tourneys start 7 hours later than EST. 8 tournaments in the middle of the night don't make for a good day at school tomorrow so..

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

That system is gonna suck...all these tourneys have huge fields, so there are gonna be weeks when no one gets a 30'th.

Can you alter that a bit and give points down to the top 100 or something? It should be way better and make for some races late.

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

30th Percent adanthar...

I tried to pick a system that rewarded a broad range of finishes.


There definitely won't be weeks when no one finishes top 30% (in 10 tournaments)

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

It says percentage, not place. Note that adanthar.

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

30th % not 30th place

edit: damn I'm slow

I would normally do this, but I am going to the Interpol concert tonight, so no can do. I will more than likely be down for next week's challenge, though.

Good luck to all who enter.

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***

Challenge starts at 9pm

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

around how many peiople are you expecting to take place in the 10 dollar and 50 dollar ones?

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

Dunno if tonight will have the turnout of the other nights... but we've had 17 people the past two weeks for the $10.


this is the first time trying the $50. So if no one does it, i wouldn't be surprised. The main thing is the $10.

I'm confused, you say it starts at 9pm, but your list includes the $3 tourney that starts at 8pm.

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

i'm a tool, and didn't read correctly.

Starts at 8!!

edit: unless people object though, i'll accept entries till 9.

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

Interesting ... my money's sent.

Two questions (I don't play much on Stars).

1) How many tournaments can you play at one time on Stars?

2) What score would typically win (1800 possible points correct?)

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

Officially in for $60. Now watch me forget to register for most of these.

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

money sent. sn - Yuv21. I'm dead money, enjoy [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

As many tournaments as you register for.
This is the first time we've tried this method of scoring, so we have no clue.

Re: ** Stars SUNDAY Micro MTT Challenge ***
 

well I had a good start, 88 catches a set on the flop and then proceeds to stack two players. 4400 after the first orbit. Gotta love these mirco buy-ins.
