    Pick a team of 12 players. Points awarded according to the position the player exits the main event ie. finish 3345th - 3345 points....finish 24th - 24 points. The person with the lowest scoring team wins.

    Anyone interested??

    Maybe if you limit it to the people that cashed,imagine it would be hard to keep track of a player that finished 2615th and the spot isn't usual advertised as theres players out every 30 secs or so.
    Anyway heres my 12,

    ok - i think we shoiuld all have to pick again, and we get 20M budget. The budget works like this. The cost of a player is their all time money wins taken from the hendon mob database.

    Yeah Id go to 500 myself but 50 makes it more accessable to others I think.

    I'll go for $50 too, need a while to work out my team though based on the $20m budget though - should we not make it a bigger budget though - even $30m (i.e. I want Raymer, but not for 1/2 of my budget)

    Also we need someone to hold the money like Daithio in the Sweep, Mr PT or ocallagh??

    $20M budget is a good idea and the points only counting once they've made the money. I'm up for the €50 as well but I'm not posting my team 'til later.

    What about bonus points for amatuer players on your team doing well??

    I notice as well that nearly everyone has picked Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, and understandably, he's had a good year. But nobody's picked "The Mouth" Matusow, who's had an excellent year. Any particular reason for this??

    I was going to pick him but he made the final table last year so variance may well come into play, plus hes a donkey.

    As for David Williams he was touch and go but has a knack of winning big events.

    My team is not my final draft still have to check the 20mill budget rule etc

    I'm in for this too, I think we need to post the players name and their cost to the right of them too, for clarity.

    If someone is bored at work they might think of getting a list of them together (I'm up to my doodads today as will become clear soon!)
