Wow getting serious the Gauntlet has been thrown down who will pick it up? Would be good if Sky Bet could run a book on the top 5/6 finishers if some table system is put in place.
It seems as though everyone is behind this, which is great.
What about a points based league from January to November (as discussed), with the top six at that time playing a sit and go in December for bragging rights?

probably best to run the points for the whole year - keep it pure
but in jan we could have a tv sng "battle of the champions" for the top 6 as a way to kick start the New Year!
OK, we've got some prizes sorted for the players who are top of the leaderboard at the end of January. We're still discussing the Annual prizes (TBC) because it sort of coincides with something the team here are working on. That's still all very 'on the drawing board' though, so shhhh etc.
Prizes for the Jan Leaderboard winners:
* 1st - £110 MTT Seat
* 2nd - £55 MTT Seat
* 3rd - £33 MTT Seat
* 4th - £33 MTT Seat
* 5th - £11 MTT Seat
* 6th - £11 MTT Seat
Slipwater - can you message me at the end of Jan to let me know who the six winners are and then those six would need to PM me to say which tourney they want to play.
Looks like it... and looks like you've been given the mammoth task of managing it, enjoy lol.
In all seriousness though, gimme a shout if you wanna take a day off from doing the points occasionally or want help making a spreadsheet to easily auto update scores
Great stuff btw Sky/Dave.
So you deffo need to get a confirmed points scoring method Slip! Maybe do a new thread with a poll and just give 2-3 different options... too much choice will just be chaos.
Personally I think everyone that cashes should get some kind of score but a mincash should not even be close to a FT or win. Like 5 points is way too much for a mincash if 6th place is only 10 points cos 2 x mincashes is a million times easier than 1 FT imo.
I'd say something similar to what some have suggested....
1st = 50
2nd = 30
3rd = 25
4th = 20
5th = 15
6th = 10
FT bubble boy maybe gets 8... everyone else gets just 1 point? I think that's fair

the person that comes 8th gets the same points as the person that came 57th and just scraped a cash?? doesn't sound that fair to me...
stars have obv put alot of thought into their leaderboards and have been running them successfully for ages... so why dont we borrow their structure, or use a simplified version of it...
Maybe stretch it out so like 7th - 10th get more than a mincash then but otherwise I don't see a huge problem, You should be getting rewarded for really deep runs not just serial min cashing. We'll all mincash sometimes but the fact it's over a whole year evens things out, and the people that get the bigger points will be the people that make proper deep runs and not just do lots of laddering which surely is what it should be.
The thing above from stars looks good but it's gonna be a real pain for the person running it have to work out the top 10% of cashes, 2nd 10% of cashes etc etc for the main and the mini every single night.
It might not be quite as perfect/accurate but it's WAY simpler. With a structure like above the person doing it can just go 'right these top 10 people get X points... everyone else get's 1 point' (or whatever). Rather than doing lots of calcs. Once a few weeks have passed, you'll probably have a list of most people that are ever gonna cash in a main/mini in the spreadsheet and can easy just whack a 1 next to 40 names.
Just out of interest cos the wording is a bit dodgy (to me anyway), how exactly does that work out in practice over say a 500 runner field? Assume exactly 10% are paid so 50.
1st - 6th as per the table.
Remaining cashes top 10% - does that mean the top 10% outside of top 6? So taking away the 6 we have 44 people left and so 4 people are in the top 10% of remaining cashes (which would be 7th - 10th) ? 10% is technicaly 4.4 people, so would 11th go in the top 10% or the next one down?
FWIW, I would suggest keeping the points scoring simple. While I don't doubt the love and care Stars might have put in their scheme, it might involve getting a calculator out for some. Down to you folks to agree on, but I'd personally something like the OP's recommendations.
Due to the work involved in allocating points/updating tables are we just doing a combined (main + Mini) table now? or is it separate tables for main, mini and a combined?
If it is separate tables - are the prizes just going to the combined table high finishers?
