THE WSOP 2014 Fantasy League - (FREE entry)

[hatthehole]

can i use my free substitution and take phil ivey out and replace with thomas middleton. ivey was my cpt and now ill make middleton my cpt if that all counts as just my free transfer pls

Confirmed.
Thomas Middleton in for Phil Ivey from event #65.
Thomas Middleton becomes your new captain.
This is a free substitution.
Any subsequent substitutions will cost 10 points.


This is my favourite substitution ever in this competition; if I could find a loophole in the rules, I'd award you bonus points.

Good luck to Mr. Middleton.
A final table is worth 10 points which would be doubled (as captain) and could well seal the competition for you - worth making the effort for, I'd say.

Ha, incredible stuff, well done both of you.

haha thanks, my only shot is by having a captain no one else has. only got myself to blame if i don't win now!

Imagine how devo'd you'd be if you bubbled the final table and just missed out on the Blonde Fantasy League (free entry) title?! It'd take a few days to get over that beat...

Remember that every player that cashes in the main event gets 5 points so it's very close.

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

1. The team with the highest number of event winners
2. The team with the highest scoring captain
3. The team with the highest scoring individual
4. The drawing of lots (involving myself, TightEnd and tikay).

This may be important soon.

However, there are lots of points available in the main event and lots of people could still win this.

The player in 63rd place might be Ole Schemion who Poker News reports as having about 75K.
