7/6/13 PokerOwned League Play Explained

[Zab]

I will think about it some more but i really think there needs to be some scoring system that isnt simply money won. You want everyone to be able to join and like it. Scoring solely on money won just makes it a month long speedway and while speedway is a great promo it leaves people who cant put in the volume isolated.

Maybe we could do it like..........

Field Size (every 10 players add 2 points)

So

1st place = 20 pts
2nd place = 18 pts
3rd place = 16 pts
4th place = 14 pts
5th place = 12 pts
6th place = 10 pts
7th place = 8 pts
8th place = 6 pts
9th place = 4 pts
10th place = 2 pts

If the field was 0-19 people, then add no extra points
if the field was 20-29 people, then add 2 extra points (so first place = 22 pts)
if the field was 30-39 people, then add 4 extra points
if the field was 40-49 people, then add 6 extra points (So first place = 26 pts)

Thoughts on that?

I don't think it should be a linear trend. 1st should not be worth 10 times as many as 10th, but the top should still be inflated in my opinion. I'd rather see something like:

1. 20 points
2. 16 points
3. 12 points
4. 10 points
5. 9 points
6. 8 points
7-10. 7 points
11-20. 2 points

Plus similar bonuses for field size and maybe -1 point for each tournament played (no negatives imo).

That's my advice/suggestion.


Also, to clarify, does the team owner's results count as points for the team too? And do team sizes affect standing: aka a team of 20 can obviously destroy teams of like 3.

i think max on team is like 5 or something if you include team owner, but not sure about that...

Yup 5 seems to be the magic #

This is what we need to figure out

What's the average field for all the PO games? Anything above that should yield a bonus of some percent, maybe like 20% of the how much bigger it is maybe.. aka an average field for all the tournaments is lets say 40 people and a tournament has 50 people, that would be 2 bonus points (20% of 10 person difference).

This might have to be the average of that actual day tho, otherwise as the fields grow, this system won't hold long term weight.
