Re: making final table should also be discounted pre 2000

How about the year amarillo won.....they only started with 9 players...so does everyone get credit there for final table appearance?

Yes, and none of them except Slim gets credit for finishing in the money.
The WSOP is mutating at such a geometric rate, comparisons stretching over more than a few years don't have any meaning.
It's not the same game any more, and things like ITM or final table aren't the same thing. The WSOP ME in the early 1970s were much more like the recent Tournament of Champions than like today's ME.
