I might have a new suggestion too depending on how my last suggestion in the other thread for these games goes down. Time will tell, early days etc etc. Hopefully numbers can keep up and if they do we can find the correct balance for Month 2 onwards.
Yes the feedback is great I might have a new suggestion too depending on how my last suggestion in the other thread for these games goes down. Time will tell, early days etc etc. Hopefully numbers can keep up and if they do we can find the correct balance for Month 2 onwards. Posted by markycash
hi, been following the thread from afar but alas cannot play this week. WP to Pomm. Great start.
i undertsand where your comming from Enut, but does it matter? its the same for everyone.
if lets say its best to play the 5.5 to win the league, thats ok. Winning players can also profit from the 11 as well.
i'd be interested to see what scouse/marky have come up with to balance the fields but agree with phantom, dont make too many changes.
No, Suzy, it absolutely doesn't matter to me, I certainly won't play anything like the number that some will so have little to gain personally but it just dawned on me when looking at the first few results and thought I would raise the topic before anyone had a real moan (I know that we're ploppers so that probably wouldn't happen but you only need one of those pesky holdem players to chip in and it could all kick off!)
A fairly logical solution would be to adjust the score by the ratio of the number of entrants in the two tournaments and then add the bonus points on for final tabling. This would cater for the fact that this would change daily to reflect the number of entrants to each. Unfortunately though this would be time consuming for Scouse as he would have to factor it into his spreadsheet each day.
Wish I hadn't brought this up now, at least for the fact that I should be working and keep getting side tracked!

Yeah I think the new changes will make things much more balanced.
I think Sky hoped that the stuff we do with regards to the promotion would encourage participation in both tourneys so it wouldn't be ideal to continue with a model that renders one of them bordering on meaningless in relation to league points.
Not a major change though in relation to the overall setup.
The feedback and fact we are all working this out is great. It really is a cracking little OH8 community we have on here.
Edit: P.S. It would be great to have some feedback on the latest suggestion I mentioned in the other thread about all this stuff. I think it would help grow the player pool and help numbers in these games too.
Just want you all to be aware that whilst the £5er affair is going great guns, the £10er missed Guarantee last night. It has been touch & go most nights actually.
If it cannot meet the Guarantee, it WILL be reduced.
just as a footnote to Tikay's post above, in the first 3 nights we have been doing tables for this, there have been 146 unique players and of those 146, 66 have been unique entries in the 9.15
obv not everyone can play every night, however it goes to show that the player base is certainly there
Will certainly try and rally the troops in any way I can. Personally as mentioned I think the guarantee is a bit snug though. £250 would probably be nearer the mark IMO. The tourney attracts higher numbers some nights. This might be down to the timing and players less inclined to sign up for a tourney midweek that could last till after midnight if they need to be up early. Not sure what other time slots could work better though.
Great news Chris has posted about unique player numbers! There certainly seems to be the player pool on the site and if the pool could be increased further the oh8 games in general could do pretty well.
Edit: do you think the later game would do better if it was a turbo? I personally wouldn't like this as the structure is brilliant in these but thinking of the preferences of players as a whole a turbo 'might' work better.
If this all runs next month and the new £5.50 @ 9:15pm works out comparable to the 7:15pm game then I guess it may make this more streamlined and scoring 'less problematic'?
Personally I think the £5.50 at 9:15pm will struggle on occasion and not on others as I think both the timing and buy in were affecting the 9:15pm game a little so the set-up may change. If had the chance to personally choose I would have kept the £11 and made it a £150-£200 GTD tourney and added one or two smaller buy in BH's around teatime. Then again what do I know and I obviously don't get to choose

Morning all.

Time to rally the troops.

All in all just happy we extra PLO8 MTT's!
Nicely done.
