Some "higher" STEPs math.

Apathy · #1 04-23-2005, 06:28 PM

So, after discussing it with many people and trying to explain what a waste of money higher STEPs are because of the rake trap system used I decided I needed to seek help to get some numbers to back up my rantings and ravings.

For an explanantion of higher steps go HERE

Given that structure and assuming all opponents played equally how much would a STEP 5 cost you if you started at STEP 1 on avg?

I WANT TO SEE GUESSES NO MATH.

I will post the results in about 3 hours, JUST GUESS RIGHT NOW AS SOON AS YOU READ THIS.

AND IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER OR HAVE SEEN IT DO NOT POST.

Thanks.

Assuming all opponents played equally I would quit Party and never play there again. Since they don't, I would conservatively estimate it'd cost me around 5-7K.

(The answer you're looking for is around $25K, give or take)

34k.

I think the number is a lot lower than many of you think just due to the replay factor for the top 5-6 spots. I would guess it is somewhere near $500-$600. That would be about 15-19 Step 1s.

I did 0 brain work, my fingers just felt like typing 34k.

Sounds about right to me.

So when everyone is equally skilled they can all win $15000 seats for $500-$600? That dun make no cents.
