What is this for (in real life, I mean)? And do we need to do an entire bracket, or just the first round?

Talking Poker 12-30-05 06:30 PM

I still don't get it. What exactly are you tallying up if it's not for real? Are you just deciding who you think would win and that's the correct answer? I kinda doubt it. The results must be coming from somewhere. HUC?

And again, why not fill out the entire bracket with increasing points per round, instead of doing it one round at a time?

PShabi 12-30-05 06:36 PM

Everybody votes who wins the first match up.

If 7 people vote and 4 of them think Mark P will beat Brian S, then Mark P advances to the next round.

That's what I understood anyway. It's "who do you think" would win.

Windbreaker 12-31-05 03:34 AM

I really don't see the point of this unless they were to really play this. A fun thing Daniel Negreanu does each year is have a Fantasy WSOP pool. Where you basically rank 20 players from 1 through 20. Each player accumulate points for all events held at the WSOP where it's an open tourney. Eg. All womans, seniors, dealers, media events don't count. If your player finishes in X spot in the tourney, they get so many points. Points earned from the main event are double.

The point total for each player is then multiplied by your ranking. So if you picked Phil Ivey #1, and he got say 50 points. You would get 50X20 = 1000 points. However, if you picked him 20th, then you get 50X1 = 50 points.

The most points wins the pool. I think last year he gave away a 10k buy in to any tourney.

sorry
 

fixed it but I got it right on round 2 so no harm done.

Talking Poker 12-31-05 06:09 PM

Didn't realize you made an error. Was just surprised to see people take Juanda over Greenstein. That's crazy. That one should have been 7-0 for sure.

Aequitas58 12-31-05 06:17 PM

So who do you like if it was an unreasonable blind structure? And why?
