Happy to play along again, although the scoring looks a bit wonky tbh.
To only get 4 more points for winning a bracelet over a min cash seems a bit mean.
How about 1 for a cash, and then the F1 scoring system, so 9th gets 2, 8th gets 4, 7th gets 6, 6th gets 8, 5th gets 10, 4th gets 12, 3rd gets 15, 2nd gets 18 and the winner gets 25.
We ran this in our online event last year and it worked really well as everyone has a chance to get back in it after a slow start.
Just my opinion obv ;)

Yes sounds a good idea IMO.. Only problem is if one player wins a bracelet and gets a 2nd or 3rd would it mean it"s pretty much over? Dunno.. But I like the idea of a player being rewarded more for snagging a bracelet.. Wonder if Don is going this year :D

With picking a team would prefer to just pick 8 players as I think the category system can lead to a few pics that everyone has which can make it a tad boring?

What about then having 8 picks, but there has to be at least a female, European, English and former champ of anyone"s choice, instead of say just 8 picks that will probably be made up of mainly American/male..?

I would like that a lot. For me, a lot of the fun is finding players who have done well before but are not on everyone"s list. Several of last year"s teams started with Hellmuth, Negreanu, Ivey and Selbst plus four others. It does make some sense as they play all the events and do well, so you almost guaranteed a good base, though it means there is little reward for being innovative. At the end of last year"s competition I was intending to recommend that those four would not be eligible to be included in teams this year, to make it more interesting.
However, on reflection, it is probably important for us to make it as easy as possible for people and not put them off. It wouldn"t be much fun if we only got about nine entries cos we had made it difficult so, reluctantly, I am inclined to think that we need the lists so that more people can just make picks easily.
I would be pleased if there are lots of opinions disagreeing with that.

Think the scoring is great for the series. Would prefer to go back the total amount a team cashes for in the main event but obviously happy with what the majority prefer?

We having a captain pick again?

Could always scrap the ME sweat and just run it £10 for the series winner?

Haha quality Brooksie.. Although she didn"t do that well last series, the amazing Amanda Ho was a cashing queen..

Think the best way is to leave it open and NOT have a list of players in the selected catergories so you have free range of choice.. Tbh I"m looking at say having 4 set catergories and 4 wild cards (although it pretty much is all wild cards if you choose out of the box)
Previous ME winner
European
Female
English
Then 4 wildcards
Perhaps a captain again who scores x2 points? But if using F1 style scoring could mean if the captain wins a bracelet 50 points would be pretty hard for another player to catch up..
