I am pleased to announce the Blonde WSOP 2013 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 Wednesday 29th May. No late entries will be accepted. 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. Smiley

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 a DTD baby deepstack seat (£150+18).

(Prize winners should arrange details with Tighty).


5. Points will be awarded as follows:

Events No 1 to 62 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 final table will be counted as the 2nd to 8th place finishers.
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-NDNWdF9wSEZyM1dCVk8yN3N3OHNwMU9Fdnc#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).

Thanks for doing this again. One thing regarding the subs, 10 points seems a bit much? They'd have to win 2 bracelets post-sub just to break even.  I'm guessing you're setting it high to keep the admin down, but 5 points would be a better choice IMO.

Will submit my choices once I've completed the master class in WSOP selection.  Won't take long.  Reckon I'll spend less time than Tikay picking my team.

You're welcome and you make a fair point.
Last year 12 players scored more than 10 points and there is one more event this year.
With the first substitute being free and accrued points from the substituted player being retained (unlike last year) I think that a penalty of 5 points might lead to farcical levels of substitutions. This would make it more difficult for people to follow the progress and to be confident of the scoring.
You're right that it will keep the admin down too. Smiley

If there is significant support for this suggestion, I will consult with the organising committee though.
