Hi Guys
Thanks for doing this, should be fun.
You asked for feedback on anything that anyone might prefer to be done differently, so might I suggested the following:-
Having a weeks late entry seems to allow anyone to be able wait until next Wednesday and then pick their players from those that have already scored. With 6-8 cashes being considered to have been very successful over the whole WSOP, this seems to allow new comers an huge advantage.
Also, and sorry to harp on, the points structure seems slightly unbalanced in that 5 points for cashing and then only 10 for a FT and 15 for winning a tourney should surely be weighted much heavier in favour of the latter.
Perhaps 5 for cashing, and then use the F1 scoring system, (which worked so well in the Bakers Dozen tourney) after that, i.e. 10th gets an additional point, 9th an extra 2, etc..... up to the winner getting 25 extra. That way it rewards the high finishers. POY could get a 50 bonus on top as well.
As I say, sorry to harp on, but it just seems a little lopsided to me.

Hi Rich,
No worries about the scoring being tweaked I will go with the majority.. I think prehaps stick to 5 points for a cash, then say 12 points for FT then 25 for out right win?.. POS gets 50 bonus is fine I suppose gives an outsider to come from no where to TID..
I"m a little confused as to why you think late reg will be of an advantage?? It is stated in OP that they don"t score points until the team is selected.. For example if someone decides to join a week in and they pick Phil Ivey who has scored points, his points are not added to the selected team he starts from 0.. In fact late reg may be a disadvantage? Unless people are waiting to see what sort of volume a player is going to put into the series?..
Starshine:
I am in for both (Main comp and main event)
will have to edit my list till wednesday, as currently only have two players lol
A previous ME winner: Johnny Chan
British Player: Jake Cody
Female Player: Jennifer Shahade
European Player: Viktor Blom
Wild Card 1: Barry Greenstein
Wild Card 2: Jesse James Sylvia
Wild Card 3: Scotty Ngyuen (hope I spelled him right, probably i could have listed hey babe scotty and we all know whom i mean :D)
Wild Card 4: Igor Kurganov
MintTrav:
I"ll prob have a go at this, but need to rethink. I had Joe Carr-Hill in as my British player, but the penny has just dropped that the others will be playing loads of events and he won"t so, reluctantly, gotta scratch him. I still fancy him to do well in the ME though. That"s one-third of my players gone, so still got a way to go.
Vanessa Selbst is a good player and all, but is he eligible for the female category?
And how much is it? OP doesn"t say.
