Fantasy WSOP anyone?

[The Camel]

Anyone interested in a fantasy WSOP league?

All pick perhaps 6 players and get points for getting in the cash, final table appearances and bracelets.

Everyone stick in $20 and best team scoops the pool...

Im in and so is womble. Sort some rules out keith

[Irishdenis]

Count me in.

I think the best idea is to keep it simple... (especially if I am landed with the job of updating the scores!)..

Have five catergories of players and everyone picks one player from each group and then has one wildcard pick.

You get 1pt for an in the money finish, 2pts for a ft and 3 pts for a bracelet. Double points for the main event.

Off the top of my head the groups could be:

Worlds finest : Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Ted Forrest, Johnny Chan, John Juanda, Allen Cunningham

Europes Elite: Ram Vaswani, David Benyamine, Devilfish, Ben Roberts, Praz Bansi, Pacal Perrault

Best of Blonde: El Blondie, John Shipley, Brian Wilson, Stuart Fox, JP Kelly, Tikay

Womens Winners: Cyndi Violette, Jen Harman, Vicky Coren, Lucy Rokach, Liz Lieu, Kristy Gazes

Annoying Players: Daniel Negreanu, Phil Helmuth, Tony G, Mike Matusow, Antonio Esfandiari, Annie Duke

One Free choice.

$20 to enter. Send the entry fee to me on pokerstars before the first event starts... and depending how many players we get... we will have winner takes all or 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes.

How does that grab you all?

pop the rules (as basic as they may be) and a deadline for posting your team up pls Keith.

seems perfect apart from the points to me. I would say a final table and bracelt should be worth more as so many cash. Maybe 1pt 3pts 5pts?. Agree with keeping it simple though and think your groups are perfect but could do with a few names adding into each bracket or we will all go for similar picks.

Yes..1,3,5 is much better.

Adding players to the brackets is a good idea in principle... but finding more decent women players will be very difficult

I'm doing the old double trip. Going for 2 weeks early, then home for a couple of weeks and back for main event.

It's my longest spell between trips to Vegas for 10 years. I'm really looking forward to it.

you coud include the ladies who are going to be playing plenty events (ie the sponsored ones like isa, tilly, russou etc). Isa did make one final and a couple of other minor cashes last year and tily did win a bracelet (htf did that happen?).

I would suggest marc (as one of the owners) should be in the best of blonde catagory as he will be playing plenty events and also roland has to be in there along with andy black in the european elite section (if not in the worlds best section).

Blimey Russ, you are a hard taskmaster! I just pulled those names from the sir in 5 minutes. Give the poor old Camel a chance!!!

[ariston]

lol you seemed to be strugglig with the lady players hehe. You come up with the player brackets and we will all go with whatever groups you decide on, we could all have a couple of wildcard picks in case our picks arent included in any bracket though i suppose. Your game so i suggest you hold the pot and we all just transfer the fee (whatever u decide) to you on stars. See how many you get and decide whether its winner takes all or top 3 payout as well - we did run one the first will hill grand prix if memory derved me right and there was a load of people in the pool.

[The Camel]

Wahey! Just had a great idea.

We make a thread where everyone puts their picks... and every time they get points... they update their own score!!!

Saves one person (ie me) spending hours updating all the scores!!!

[tikay]

Count me in Keith, please.

am I being thick here? is ariston telling keith to do exactly what he said he was going to do earlier in the thread or is this some kind of 2p2 style leveling thing
