So with the WSOP taking off again in a few months im gonna run the yearly Fantasy Poker league hopefully with Mr Murrays valuable assistance..
Plenty of time to start thinking of your players, but just need more input about possible changes to this years game..
I think each year we run it it gets better and better, but always room for improvement!..
I have my own personal thoughts this year on possible changes...
1. Scrap catergories.. Im thinking this handcuffs you if say you want to have a team made up of entirely random picks. (like a team full of women :D) or say a team full of Brits..
2. Increase from 8-10 players.
3. Allow 2 subs say up to and including event 34 (about halfway through).
4. Tweak scoring so any event with say over 3000 runners scores more for FT or Win?..
5. Allow a person to have more than 1 team but a maximum of 3
Just a few possible changes.. But looking for input from the rest of you.
Curlarge:
Looking forward to this once again.
I"ll get on my usual soapbox about scoring this type of things.
It is incredibly difficult to cash and even more difficult to make the FT table of a WSOP event and even moreso to actually win one.
My personal opinion is that the points need to be heavily loaded towards those who FT and even more towards those who actually win a bracelet. I think the Formula 1 scoring system has this just about spot on and I"m sure it would work here
Maybe the following tweak might help things.
1st - 25 pts
2nd - 18 pts
3rd - 15 pts
4th - 12 pts
5th - 10 pts
6th - 8 pts
7th - 6 pts
8th - 4 pts
9th - 2 pts
cashing 1 pt
Just my opinion.

I like this scoring system aswell, rewards the higher placings for sure.
hi_am_chris:
I like points 1, 2 and 3 from Carl and also the scoring system proposed by Curlarge.
Not keen on point 4, think one scoring system keeps things simple and i think it"s better that everyone just has one team, i think 3 teams would give the poker nerds far too much of an advantage and might put off some people from putting one team in for a bit of fun as they now have a worse chance of winning.
