Well the deadline has past and we have a great group to compete in the teams competition. As with anything new im sure there are questions for me. So I will try to answer most of them real quick in this thread. First off let me explain that the teams will be randomly picked from a hat so that fairness and random order will be a factor. Cant have a stacked event lol. Next we will give a list of tourneys to play over the period of a week or so. Within that time frame (to be announced) you will have the opportunity to play in any one of various different tourneys listed. That way everyone will have a chance to work it into thier schedule. The games will be played on an individual basis with no real need for team members to meet up at the same time and play the same tourney. When a respective player is ready to play they will notify me by email or by posting here in the forum in a thread specifically titled for this team competition. Then afterwards they will post thier placement and number of overall entrys. I will also be tracking thier results to keep things fair. There will be plenty of time for you all to get in your tourney so no need to worry about a time constraint. Next will be the actual scoring method. Each team members placement versus the overall entrys will be divided to get a percentage. For example a 5th place finish out of 50 total players entered will yield a 10 percent. In the same respect a 10th place finish out of 100 will be equal. The lower the percentage the better the score. A first place finish will get the ultimate reward which is a 0. Then all the teams scores will be tallied and totaled to give an overall score for the team. The lowest score will win. In the event of a tie the percentages will be carried out to the third or fourth decimal to ensure a correct point reward system. Simple enough. All teams will be awarded points for the effort. Cant have you guys buying in and getting nothing so all will get a few points for participating. All teams will have a deadline to complete their respective tourneys but not to worry, plenty of time will be given. Points will be awarded as such with 150 points going to each individual of the first place team. Next second placers will receive 90 points each. Third will recieve 50 points and fourth getting 20 points each. I planned this scoring idea around four teams. If in the event that we should have more than four teams i will revamp the scoring system to take into account the extra team. As it stands we will have four teams. No collusion will be allowed amongst teammates during thier respective tourneys. We would like to see an individual effort but a combined score to make the team effort overall. Anytime you are allowed to play "with" someone else the outcome usually isnt fair to the rest. Im all about fairness so I respectfully ask that no team members play "with" each other. Not a problem to play the same tourney but I would like to see the teams play the game on thier own to make everything fair to others. As a result the times and dates of the tourneys to play will be as wide and open as possible with many options to choose from. The buyins will be in the 5.50 range so that we arent going broke. Bodog usually has a 5.50 tourney a couple times each day of the week so it shouldn't be a problem to get in and play. If there are any questions please feel free to email me at grismere5@yahoo.com. Please stay up with the forum here to get the list of tourneys to play. I will be researching bodog to create a list of times and days for you to look over. Those times and dates will be posted along with the teams later tonight or tommorow. We wont be getting started for a week or so to give Randy and I a chance to get everything locked down. Once all is set we will run from there. Stay posted to the forum for new information and a start time. Again any questions send to grismere5@yahoo.com. Thanks, Burke.
