    Everyone seems to want different evenings, & some want PLO, & some PLO8.
     
    Well I'll just have to make the decision, & it'll please some, & not others.....

    We can run other Leagues after this one concludes though, & next time we can change the night, & format, so in due course, everyone will be happy. *

    * Possibly. ;)

    Would it be at all possible for a few small ones to be added for thursday as a sort of trial run for the league, even if some of the existing mtts buy in amounts were just made low that would do

    tried out two scoring systems on last night's PLO 
    peeps had to play all three
    1. DTD style best 2/3  & highest result splits a tie
    2. net cash won

    same 4 came at the top, but in a different order
    biggest flaw in the DTD system is if 1 tournament only has a few runners then players in that get an advantage, whereas weighting it by cash adjusts for the size of field - although if entry costs vary a lot then that will provide a different bias

    I never quite understood why DTD was done the way it was, maybe im missing something but what was the benefit of 2/3? why not just make it so all 3 scores count? i bet it was just laziness wanting to do less math lol

    dont think including money is fair cos a 5th place in the 5 quidder is close to a 1st place from a quidder

      Best scoring method is reverse to what is now. Therefore 120 runners 1st place = 120pts, 120th = 1pt.

      This eliminates the anomoly of different size fields. Simples.

    Not really Mr Celtic fan, everyone seems to want different things, on different evenings, at different buy-ins!

    I remain committed to supporting it, playing it, & adding some prizes, but I just can't work out what everyone wants.

    I was playing PLO8 DYM's last night, & a chap came on the Rail & got really cross with me, really quite rude. He said "why don't you do something try & generate more PLO8 action?". And I've played something like 50 or 60 PLO8 DYM's in the last week, plus I give up a night every week in my own time to try & generate interest in PLO8! So I sort of replied, politely, that I was doing my best, & he said "ahh, I never knew that, because I don't ever listen to what you say".
     
    Think I was banging my head against a brick wall there.

      Hi Teeks, take the bull by the horns, announce PLO8 +PLO, 3 lo-cost mtts  alternate Thursdays for ,
      say, a months trial. Give it a whirl, suck it and see etc etc.

         Why not Altinate the Monthly League ie 1 Month PLO8, 1 Month PLO would that not suit everyone

    Been very busy with move and everything at mo, so sorry for lack of imput last few days guys/girls.

    I have not really heard anything regarding this as far from Tikay.

    I think this will happen but would like to see how Tikay's PLO and PLO8 nights go (as for numbers) if they keep making intrest and more players play week on week, then this should work well.

    We will all have to wait and see at moment.

    Gl all and please join in on next weeks (when arranged) Omaha fun.

    Well tikay you cant please everyone but the thread title says it all this is PLO8, if ppl want a PLO one start a new thread I say, as for which day all we can do is try some and see which works best.

    Maybe we can just do some unofficial ones this week as a test run?

    If we get decent numbers with no prize drawing more ppl in then surely it will get the green light, there are now more low stakes MTTs on tonight so maybe we could do 3 of these, and take all the best suggestions on this thread to decide scoring format (I like poms reverse score system).

    I've been playing/learning more about this game recently and would enter a league.
