STRUCTURE UPDATE:

Each of the top 20 Playrs from the 2008 League tournaments will have points awarded based upon their finish position. 20th place gets 1 point, and 1st place gets 20 points.

The monthly winners will get awarded 1 Point each.

Then for the Final Tournament you will also get points in similar fashion. 20th place gets 1 point and 1st place gets 20 points.

The 2008 Playr League champion will be the person with the highest score total when you add these two together.

So if you were 3rd in the yearly league you will get 18 points, and if you come 19th in the final you will have 2 points...so 21 total.

Most points wins!

This gives the playrs in the top spots an advantage now and I think it is more fair, and more fun also! It should change how people play the tournament :)


Good luck to all playrs!

About the structure. What if one player do not wish to play. Will he then be removed and the next player gets "an extra point" or will it just be an advantage for the players in the top of the list ?

Degen
01-07-2009, 06:08 PM
Top 20 from the season will keep their points. This time if people do not show up they will all be tied for the last place. So it is possible that people in the top 5 spots could still end up with a high ranking if they don't play...and i think that is fair since they worked so hard for that ranking all year.

The purpose of this was to try and minimize the luck factor of just one tournament.

K1-DK
01-07-2009, 06:37 PM
some of the players in december final is among the top 20.

If one of them wins, will he/she then be credited the points from the table +5 points.

So if Friis38 wins he will have 24 points before the final. (2nd place + points)

mustardeggs
01-07-2009, 06:38 PM
hmm we could do that yes

Degen
01-07-2009, 06:41 PM
Aren't the monthly final points already calculated into the top 20?

I don't think they should double count, only that if you did not make the top 20 but you did win a monthly final, that you should then be able to play the yearly final.

K1-DK
01-07-2009, 06:44 PM
We dont get points in the monthly finals do we?

Friis38
01-07-2009, 06:45 PM
I will play for sure. Looking foreward to it. K1 has a point and what about the playrs on the top 20, who already had won a monthly final. E.g. I won the november final, and I mean that there are more playrs in the same situation. Just to get it right ;)

Friis38
01-07-2009, 06:52 PM
WD your point seem fair.

Degen
01-07-2009, 07:01 PM
RidderRap,

Did you use monthly final performance in the calculation of the yearly leaderboard?

The solution lies in the answer to that question I think. If he already calculated them, leave everything as is (no change to people who won a monthly final and made the top 20)...but if he did not add them into the standings, then I think we have a decision to make.

K1-DK
01-07-2009, 08:35 PM
i was just thinking.

Doesnt this system make it impossible for players like maleren1 to win.

He can, if he win the final, only make 21 points. With 20 players getting points it would be close to impossible to be the one with most points. (and if you award extra points to Friis38 for his monthly final, he and 2 other players will not even have a chance)

To give all players a shoot a the title you could either give more points in the final (x1,5 or x2) or you could give less players point before the final.

mustardeggs
01-07-2009, 08:44 PM
Hmm i think its cool the way it is. I think yearly performance should be valued even higher then we do.

This is my view.

Also in regards to the monthly final winners discussion i dont think we have a prob here.

mustardeggs
01-07-2009, 08:45 PM
I lowered the points for the monthly finalists from 5 to 1. I think thats faired. If anyone got better ideas let me know.

Hello there
Ive seen a structure that could be useful.
From the yearly leaderboard no.1 starts with 20 points - no.2 with 19 - no.3 with 18 and so on.
Then in the yearly final no.1 gets 40 points - no.2 38 points - no.3 36 points and so on.
Then maleren1 can get 41 if he finish as no.1.

I don't have a problem with this. How do the other people who qualified feel about this structure?

Frydenholm1
01-08-2009, 09:34 AM
As far as my memory takes me, there was a rule in the original setup for the PL that there should be a second chance for every playr who reached a final table but didn't win a seat in the yearly final in another way.

I think it was meant to be a single tournament with one winner for one place in the yearly final.

Am I the one who's got this wrong or ?

Degen
01-08-2009, 09:37 AM
Sounds like a neat idea for 2009 but I think that one is going to have to be left out for 2008.

Frydenholm1
01-08-2009, 10:42 AM
I've just found the original setup for PL from January 7th 2008. http://www.theplayr.com/news/item.asp?id=167 In danish but for some of us, thats no problem ;)
1. Ganske som tidligere er vejen til årsfinalen 100% sikret med en sejr i en af de 12 månedsfinaler. Pointsystemet er det samme som sidste år, for vi holder os til Gus' turnerings-opfattelse:
"Turneringer skal spilles for at vinde - ikke for at snige sig med til en sekundær placering."
Hellere tage chancen og ryge ud end ikke at tage chancen overhovedet og så bare ryge ud lidt senere, er devicen, så kravene er simple. En sejr eller et par pæne placeringer i en Playr League runde, og så er pladsen i månedsfinalen i hus mod 17 andre. Sejr her, og der står årsfinale på programmet.

2. Stabile præstationer skal fortsat belønnes, og derfor har vi udvidet antallet af Playrs, som kommer med i årsfinalen via en god placering på årets rangliste. Vi snakker næppe et par små jævne placeringer her, for med 52 uger og masser af point at kæmpe om, bliver der run på topplaceringerne fra alle sider. En dårlig måned, og så er man pludselig under pres.
At holde ig i toppen af ranglisten året ud hædrer vi med 20 pladser i finalen til de 20 bedst placeredePlayrs, som ikke i forvejen er kvalificerede.

3. Bad beats kan ramme hvem som helst hvor som helst - og de kan komme forbi mange gange i streg. Det ved vi godt, og derfor indfører vi et ekstre skud i finalebøssen til alle Playrs.
I begyndelsen af juni måned og i begyndelsen af december måned afvikler vi Playr League "Second Chance" - to freerolls åben for alle Playrs.
De 18 bedste i juni måneds "Second Chance" og de 18 bedste i december måneds "Second Chance" mødes kort før årsfinalen i Playr League "Last Chance", hvor de alle 36 dyster om 2 pladser direkte i årsfinalen.
Det er vores bud på en Cup turnering - og jeres chance for at hævne alle de forsmædelige bad beats.

4. Sidst men ikke mindst vil vi gerne give kredit for at nå finalebordene i Playr League. Det er faktisk ikke så nemt, og når vi forhåbentlig meget snart bliver en hel del flere Playrs, når der åbnes for kontingent-betalt medlemskab, bliver det næppe nemmere. Derfor har vi indført "Final Table Shoot-out" - en et-skud-i-bøssen turnering, som vi afholder i dagene før årsfinalen. Her vil alle Playrs, som har opnået mindst ét finalebord undervejs i årets Playr League turneringer - og som ikke er med i årsfinalen ad anden vej - få chancen i et kæmpe masseslagsmål om de sidste to pladser i årsfinalen.

Regnestykket ser dermed sådan ud:

12 månedsvindere
20 bedste placerede (ikke-kvalificerede) på årsranglisten
2 vindere af "Last Chance" freeroll
2 vindere af "Final Table Shoot-out".

I alt 36 pladser.

So it seems that there is supposed to be 4 places for playrs qualifying otherwise.

I also read this so that there has to be 12 monthly winners - that means if someone won a monthly final more than once, theere would be a place for a playr with a secondary placement.

The november final was the same. The reason given was that Party Poker didnt accept the setup of tournaments with a buy-in less that $1

Degen
01-17-2009, 08:04 PM
That is not our choosing. PartyPoker just does not allow free tournaments, there has to be some buy-in. If you look there is a $150 prizepool for a 25 person tournament ($25 worth of buy-ins) and everybody is guaranteed at least $2.50 (even last place) so its not all that bad of a deal really ;)

Anybody who has a problem getting $1 there and wont play because of that send me a PM and we'll see what we can work out. theneilsen I am sending you a PM now.

How did it end up with the points in the yearly final. As mustardeggs meant, 20 points to the winner, or like Wd meant with 40 points to the winner, or shall we meet half way and say 30 points to the winner?

mustardeggs
01-18-2009, 03:49 PM
who said 40? you get 20 for the 1st place in the yearly standing and IF you win the final you will have 20 moe wich makes 40. Thats what I understood wd ment.

Thank you.

I don't have a problem with this. How do the other people who qualified feel about this structure?

Even though im near the top of the table i still think it would be more fair with the "40 point" system

Friis38
01-18-2009, 04:23 PM
It depends on how much the year performance should count in proportion to the final. I just think it should be clear for everybody before the final starts.

It depends on how much the year performance should count in proportion to the final. I just think it should be clear for everybody before the final starts.

I strongly second that.

I just think, that if you are given a spot in the final, you should have a real chance of winning it

Friis38
01-18-2009, 04:30 PM
We can discuss that K1, I think the "30 points" will be most fair, but it's not up to me. But I think we need a statement soon.;)

K1-DK
01-18-2009, 04:56 PM
***STATEMENT***

I have just talked to mustardeggs

He has connection problems so i write this for him:

Everyone will be awarded points from 20 to 1 according to the overall yearly table.

So Ramones start tonights tourney with 20 points down to AkelaDK who starts with 2 points. Winners of the monthly final have given themselves a shoot at the final, but will be starting with 0 points unless they are in Top 20 overall yearly

In tonights tourney there will be points to the top 20 the same way as the overall yearly gave points, but x1.5. This means that
1st = 30 points
2nd = 28,5 points
3rd = 27 points
and so forth

In case of a tie the one with the highest yearly overall is placed better.

Ill put up a seperat thread for this post also

So if Barbarella is 3rd, yet she won the Final does that mean she gets 3rd prize?

I´m still confused about winning something, too, slinky ;)

Yes that is correct.

Even though barb won the final table, she is not "playr of the year"

Mustard and WD made a structure, where you had an advantage in the final the better you had done over the year.... their argument... its a "playr of the year"-award....

yeah, that´s fair so congrats to ramones, well done :) :)

Well tbh its fair i guess but i think a proper point structure needs to be determined soon because it started as 15 places got points when i joined and now just 3 and at a guess if we had 100 people playing next sunday there would be 18-20 places paid!! Then how would that work...Hmmm i'll collar Mustard when he returns from his orgy :p

We decided the structure beforehand and as was posted mustardeggs clarified that structure prior to the start of the tournament. After reading it it seems completely fair and better than the one I had proposed so I think we have a cooked duck.

First congrats to Ramones.

I think it is okay, not what was the intention, when the PL startet back in January 2008. The original thougth about the final was more like a playoff, where all started from scratch to play for the title. But I like this structur that awards a good perfomance through the year.

@Slinky, The amount of places there get points, has to be based on the number of player participating in the match/turnement, because it is much easier to win in a 10 mand field than a 100 mand field

What slinky refers to is what happened at Titan Poker. The setup for the tournament was that 15 players got points nomatter how many participated.
That meant that players who won a tourney on titan didnt get nearly as many points as the ones who won on Party with the same number of playrs. How do we make sure, that something like that doesnt happen this year.


Also i think that we need to get the FULL structure in place now.

That is, DO we play a final table at the end of the year ?
or is it just the points that counts?
If we do play a final, how will that count towards winning the title?
Do we play monthly finals?
and how many points can you score in those?

Yea i think it would be a great idea K1...Rules cant/shouldnt be changed to suit :p

So a thread on the yearly point structure is a must imo.

if there are more playrs involved then more places are paid and the price money is bigger however you wont go itm that often.

So i dont see a real disadvantage here weather its 10 playrs or a 100. You will get more points when u cash in the bigger fields but its also going to happen less and the payout structure is flat meaning that if you come 17 or 24 you wont get lots of money anyway. Now playing a tourney with 12 people, you will cash much more often you when you cash you will usually cash quite a alot.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Mayby this would help on the numbers of players in the PL. As it is now you don't really know what it's take or what it's bring:confused:
Afterall there are 564 members of thePlayr.com now, so a PL with more than 100 playersshoudn't be impossible to reach :rolleyes: or....?

its not 564 members, its a bug ...we have to fix this ;)

I dont think this concept makes much sense for theplayr league. I could be wrong, just my opinion now. Its also very complicated.

We have 3$ 5$ and 10$ buy in events. The points equal the prize money and the points of the 3$ league are doubled. Right now this is a little unfair and the 3$ league ist that much softer then the 10$ so we might go ahead and triple the points for the 3$ league.

What do you think of that?

The p5s. Concept is good for ranking playrs against each other playing in different tourneys but as we all play in the same tourneys we really dont need a complicated structure like this i think.

I think it is a fine structur, it's the way it always has been in the league. If it should bee doubled or triple the points in the 3$ turney I don't know, but it is importent that there bee made a decision about it and then stick with it.

It is admirable to adapt the turny to what the playrs want, but at some time there need to be made a decission about how the structur for the tourney, and then get these roules notet on theplayr wiki site. Suigestions to changes then can be notet down an implementet in the next season. It is't funny to see, that if I win a tourney in the 3$ one week, I get my points doubled, and then see the winnder next week get triple. You then could adjust the privius 3$ tourney, but whould it be fair to the otder on the leader boards, there sudenly see them selfe pased, by one or more player, just because of a administrativ adjustment.? The longer it goes the more disturbence it will make on the leaderboard.

One thing I have notet with PL is that people always discuse the point structur. :cool:
