blonde poker forum

I am pleased to announce the Blonde WSOP 2015 Fantasy League.


The rules.

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


2. Entries must be submitted on this thread by: 7pm Wednesday 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:

£100

This prize has been very generously donated by TightEnd.

(Prize winners should arrange details with Tighty).


5. Points will be awarded as follows:

Events No 1 to 68 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/spreadsheets/d/1ZOdzE0nqefwEW81syEIOoMbnZHV7LscWFh-kkVrH4sg/edit#gid=5


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


8. In the event of a tie on points, the following tie-breaks will apply in this order:

i. The team with the highest number of event winners
ii. The team with the highest scoring captain
iii. The team with the highest scoring individual
iv. The drawing of lots (involving myself and TightEnd).


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

Good luck.

I'll have a word with Tighty about increasing (or at least spreading) the allocation of Dans for next year. We could move George Danzer to the Eurozone for a start. Leaving out Dan Harrington from the Main Event winners also seems like an oversight.

Dans crush hard. Ideally wanted all eight to be Dan but five will do.

Always thought Dan Heimiller was a stdd squarehead, played with him several times, but impressive hendo mob profe. Go Dan!

Is Ole Schemion your Eurozone selection?

The highlighted selections are invalid.

Yes ole schemion is euro entry
What's up with the others ??

If you look at the first post in this thread you will find a list of 10 players for each of the categories.
You need to pick one of those 10 players in each category.
The two highlighted selections do not satisfy this criterion.

Note that the scoring will work by matching the name of the player against the name provided on the results list provided by the WSOP.

There are bound to be inconsistencies depending on the specific name used in the results.

For example, I will consolidate Ludovic Geilich and Ludovic Jonsen once I know what name he will be registering under. The same applies to players who use nicknames etc, e.g. those fabulous Baker boys.
I will try to spot all the variations as the results come in but please feel free to point out anything that I miss.

If you spot any errors in your team, please let me know.


Please feel free to contribute as the events progress - it gets lonely in here. :)

Enjoy.

If there are any more gripping stats that you are interested me, please let me know.

good job mate.   Thanks for doing this

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Slightly gutted I didn't stick pads in, nailed on he wins the lot now!
Surprised there wasn't much interest in Charlie Carrel, that boy seems to have cleaned up over the last 12 months online and live

I believe that Mr. Leanhard has an extensive schedule planned. I doubt that many people will be playing more events than him.
It will be fun following his progress for sure.

I'm just shocked that no-one picked Mr. Kendall this year given his schedule and his remarkable results last year.

Was gunna put him in but wasn't sure he played all the games.

He's targeting 40 events.

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=49575.msg2051050#msg2051050

He's mentioned he's planning to play circa 40 events, so if he manages that you'd have to fancy him for somewhere between 5-10 cashes... looking at the schedule I don't see how it's feasible to play that many events without literally running between rooms playing concurrent tournaments, seems to be a new event every day but most events will be min 2 days?

Meant Mr Carrel

Ah, sorry. My mistake.
As you say, it's difficult to know how many events he is planning to play.
Still, it shouldn't be hard to spot him!

Is PokerNews not hosting the live updates for the WSOP this year?

Is WSOP.com the only site where updates are available?

They started them earlier yesterday, but then a few hours later the links had been taken down.

Ooooooh. Thanks.

No, they no longer hold the contract.

I understand WSOP have taken it "in-house".

A blonde regular has been recruited, "sharplea", he may have more info.

As far as I am aware, yes.

From what I can see, the 2 Events in progress are being well covered so far on WSOP.com
