blonde poker forum

I am pleased to announce the Blonde WSOP 2014 Fantasy League.


The rules.

1. Entry is FREE.  Each person is allowed only one entry.


2. Entries must be submitted on this thread by: Midday Tuesday 27th May. No late entries will be accepted - you have plenty of time to enter. You may make changes to your selection prior to the start of the competition.
See template in next post for entry form.


3. There are 6 categories below.
You must select one player from each category plus two players of your own choice from any or none of the lists, plus a captain from one of your names who will score double. You may not select the same player twice, i.e. your wild card entries must not replicate one of your other selections.
You will be allowed to make unlimited substitutions once the competition has started. The first substitution will be free but any subsequent substitution will cost 10 points. For each substitution any points accrued by the person substituted in events already started (or finished) will be retained but only points scored in later events will count for the substitute. If the person that you substitute is your captain, the player that replaces him will become your captain.
The categories have been chosen by Tighty so I accept no blame for them. :)

The organisers reserve the right to change the list of players in any category until the closing date of the competition. In the event of this happening anyone who has chosen a removed player will be given the opportunity to change their selection without penalty.


4. The prize for the winner will be:

A DTD tournament entry up to the value of £250 Deepstack seat (cash equivalent if distance is a problem).

This prize has been very generously donated by tikay and TightEnd.

(Prize winners should arrange details with Tighty).


5. Points will be awarded as follows:

Events No 1 to 65 from the WSOP schedule will count.
Points will be 5 points for winning, 3 points for making the final table (as designated by the WSOP) and 1 point for making the money.
For heads-up events, the 2nd to 8th place finishers will constitute the "final table".
Points for the Main Event will be 10 points for making the final table and 5 points for making the money


6. Scores will be recorded on the following spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aia1Hxq-NDNWdGhYZEFlTHlabWdVNWNTY2dWa3YxRXc#gid=5


7. I will be using http://www.wsop.com/tournaments/ for the purposes of determining results.


8. My decision is final in all matters (until proven otherwise).

And about 20 of them have Stephen Chidwick in! Is it already a done deal that he's winning a bracelet? Like Austria winning the Eurovision?

You hadn't confirmed your attendance in LV this year Chomps so I had a spare space :-)

11 managers have selected Stephen Chidwick so far (3 as a wildcard).
7 have Chris Moorman.
6 have Chris Brammer.
1 has Tony Kendall.

I think that the more popular selections last year didn't fare very well.

I will post the full count for each player once registration is closed.

Thanks for running this, Vince!

You're very welcome.
Good luck.

As I'm a really generous guy, I'm going to make you an offer that no-one else has had.
I'm going to let you nominate a captain who will get double points.
Can't say fairer than that - but don't tell anyone else, right? :)

There's plenty of fun to be had.

Tell you friends that there is a free entry competition with a £250 prize too!

Done.

For anyone else wishing to make a change, you can make as many changes as you like prior to the deadline.
Just post the amendment on this thread as per the above.

Change made for both this and the paid thread

Done.

Just to throw a spanner in the works:

Katchalov is appearing on a Ukrainian TV Show this summer rather than attending the WSOP according to numerous news/poker sites

Elky not going or something?

Gruissem for elky pls

He can't to Vegas till mid series, passport problems.

Done.

Done.

Mere, thank you sir  ;hattip;

How do you get stuck in Paris having lost your passport in Toronto?

Somebody asked him about that:

@elkypoker if it was stolen in Toronto how did you get to Paris?

And he replied:

@johnbevans French consulate in Toronto issued me a one time let go but it only allows to go back to France...

You're welcome, sir.
Good luck.

Thanks for doing this again Mere. Great bit of fun!
And thanks to Tightend and TK for donating the prize.

Good luck everyone!!!

You're welcome.
Good luck.

Could I make a change please Vince:


Thank you and thanks for all the organising.

Done.

You're welcome.
Good luck.

Sorry to be an absolute pain, can I get rid of Ole Schemion and replace with Marvin Rettanmaier? Also the same for my paid team.

Last change I promise.

Done.

No problem; you can make as many changes as you like without penalty until midday tomorrow.

Can I have the above change please?

Done.

A reminder for anyone who wants to win a £250 prize.

The deadline is midday tomorrow.
Although this is a poker competition, I will not be accepting late entries.

Arguments such as "the WSOP hasn't started yet", "the first event doesn't count" etc will carry no weight with me.

Registration has been open for 16 days so you will only have yourselves to blame. :)

Hi Vince, I'd like to bring 'Mad' Marvin Rettenmaier off the bench to replace Ole Schemion please.

Nine players! Nice edge!

Hi

is there some news that Schemion will not be attending please?

German friend of mine told me there is a rumour he won't play a huge schedule. Nothing confirmed either way afaik, my decision was airing on the side of caution more than based on  any concrete facts.

Done.

Well spotted. I was sleeping on watch.

bagel, your captain needs to be one of your nominated players.

thanks for pointing that out.

chidwick for the brits, leaving out brammer.

Sorry Mere, can I scratch that sub and leave Ho in? Seems to be doing Ok in event 3 and I'm inclined to keep the faith! If too late to change no worries.

Sorry, all changes are permanent once I have posted "Confirmed".
It will be interesting to see who does the better of the two.

I believe that it's about time for Mr. Brammer to announce stage 2 of his master plan, that he is, in fact, in Las Vegas and ready to play a full program from event #4 onwards.

lol, well i will be going for the main event actually so there is that

It could be quite a dilemma for you if it comes down to a choice of making the "November Nine" or winning this competition. I'm glad that I don't have to make tough decisions like that.

Guess I had better withdraw Chris Brammer from my selectoins, then. I'm mortified, I love that boy, we were going to have kids & things.

I'll have a dwell on who to replace my first love with.

just a quickie

"Points will be 5 points for winning, 3 points for making the final table (as designated by the WSOP) and 1 point for making the money."

...is this accumulative...eg the winner gets 5+3+1?

No.

Great updates Mere, really interesting to see how the picks perform, especially the Brits! Thanks for organising this.

Thanks.

Amended list based on official chip counts at end of day 1.

I see Mr Katchalov is running quite well in event 6.... Will I receive points for whatever result he posts?
.

Points will be 5 points for winning, 3 points for making the final table (as designated by the WSOP) and 1 point for making the money

So he has cashed, 1 point so far

Yes. Event #6 (and #7) had already started when the substitution was made so any points Katchalov scores in those events will count for you.

sub grusiem for katchalov pls
