Default Re: WSOP ME fantasy team?

I would be up for this.

I think 20 players with the points being allocated as the square root of the winnings makes a lot of sense. That way the numbers aren't too astronomical, and it gives proper weight to first place over 3rd place, for instance, rather than just an extra two points.

Should we also add a weight based on how we "rank" each of our picks? I know that was discussed earlier. It would definitely make things a bit more complicated, but could still be done. It could also serve as a pretty good tiebreaker, as it's still *possible* that people would pick the same 20 people, but there is really no way they would pick them in the same order.


But yeah, good idea, will make watching the live updates a lot more fun for me.

If two people have the exact same 20 picks, they should be disqualified and forfeit their buy-in based on lack of originality. In the extremely unlikely event of a tie, go by year to date POY points for in the money finishers.

Once again I would recommend going to fullcontactpoker and chacking the scores on that. There are more than 600 teams and I didn't see ANY teams that were tied.

Even if 2 people both had the same players (depending how the points are given) they won't get the same points unless both people rank all 20 of their people the same.
