*** FINAL Unofficial UKOPS League***

A few people had mentioned they would like to see a league table showing overall performance across all UKOPS events so I've had a go at putting something together that I hope reflects this.
To try and iron out the disparity in buyins and bank rolls, I've based the scoring system on the percentage of the total tournament field beaten in making the cash for each of the 3 nightly UKOPS events (Main, Mini and Side), rather than basing it on total money won, which (as well as being a bit crass) wouldn't truly reflect the efforts of the lower bankroll players overcoming a 700+ strong field to cash in the minis. So effectively, a maximum of 100 points is available (1st place) for each event. For example in a 100 runner field points would be awarded:
1st - 100
2nd - 99
3rd - 98
4th - 97
5th - 96 etc....
I accept the scoring system is 'slightly' weighted in favour of those playing the minis (which tend to have the biggest fields) as in some cases a 10th place in the mini will score as many points as 2nd in the side event, but I felt this the fairest way to provide a level playing field for the smaller bank roll players as it's based on the number of players beaten rather than money won. Plus the bigger rolled players are likely to play more events over the course of the week simply on the basis that they can afford to so hopefully like variance it will even out over time.
Anyway, below is the league so far, I'll try to update it every day once the results are in.
The complete spreadsheet is way too big to fit on here, but I might Google doc. it later and link it if anyone is interested in seeing it.

Great work!
Personally........no, I would not include money if this spready includes ALL UKOPS players.
Why so?
Because it disadvantages the smaller 'rolled players. They could win 3 or 4 Mini's & still not be Top Ten in the Spready.
Your original idea seems fairer, & gives ALL players a chance to feature at or near the top. If money is the criteria, only the bigger players will be at the top.
It just feels better that way, & everyone has a fair crack of the whip.
I guess you could include money if it does not alter the "rankings". In other words, the player who wins most money is NOT top of your Spready. The guy who gets most points deserves that, in the spirit of this.
PS - This is just my personal opinion.
I might be being really thick here but do you get more points for beating a field of 400 than 60 or do you just get the 100 points?
Field size will only affect positions below this as for example 10th place in a 400 strong field equates to beating 97.5% of the competition, whereas 10th in a 60 strong field equates to beating 83.33% of the competition.
Hope that makes sense
I cashed ukops 1 & Bubbled side1 9th gutted!!
I'm going to leave it as it is for now and maybe at the end I'll break it down into Main / Mini / Side events depending on how much sleep I have between then and now
It's already getting to be a big list so I might have to start limiting what I post on here to the top 200 or something, will see how it goes.
It's beginning to become quite alot of data to manage already, so if anyone spots mistake please let me know so I can get them put right ASAP.
