WCOAP 2015 OFC

Chris_Austin:
There was mention back along of it being played similarly to the one that Aspers ran during the Unibet Open which I didn"t get to play in but was able to watch for a bit.

From what I could see, it was 3-handed but it was definitely single card draw and no Fantasyland. The standard royalty pay out was used i.e. 2, 4, 6, 10, 15, 25, double in the middle with trips worth 2pts then 66+ up top worth 1+pts. So QQ up top wouldn"t get you into fantasyland but it would earn you 7pts. I couldn"t stay long enough to see how the tournament aspect was integrated into it i.e. bustouts, clock/handcount etc.

I would ideally like to see this event played just like the recent TonyBet world champs in Prague and I don"t think the pineapple aspect is too much to jump into as a beginner but perhaps that would be the reason for it to be single draw (same reasoning for no FL). So played more simply, it will really appeal to any stud or limit players, for sure! Not as much gamble/fun without fantasyland though.

dwh103:
Definitely best without fantasyland in a tournie setting. Get there once at the right time and it"d just destroy your table.

Optional:
True. Pineapple and fantasyland is not needed in tourney

IrishTom:
I"m hoping/expecting to have everything sorted later today from Aspers, in the meantime I can advise the following:


Ok, so if it is 4 handed, we can presume this is single card draw, not pineapple?
Yes single card not pineapple

Royalties chart/scoring to be used (points for trips in the middle?)
Fantasyland repeat requirements (assuming any 10-point royalty, but some just play trips+ up front)
Details of how bustouts and table merges will be handled (shootout style, or regular MTT balancing?)
Will advise the royalty chart in use asap - MTT balancing - won"t be doing fantasyland as there is a very mixed level of skill set in the event

It seems a real shame that this is all still unknown and the cap is so low - there is a huge interest in OFC and it would be good to see APAT offering something more substantial and considered.
The original player cap may be possible to increase on the day - from the three events that Aspers have run, only one of them has reached cap of 32.

3N1GM4:
Thanks for the info Tom - am guessing this still hasn"t been confirmed by Aspers as you suggested?

Personally, seeing that it is 4 handed and single card is disappointing - I understand the valid points about fantasyland in a tourney setting though.
