Idea. TLB Challenge for November/December

NickyOD

Probably short notice for November but have been thinking about this for a while.

The main focus of most of the players on the forum has always been cash games. For some reason a lot of the top Irish online tournament players decide to only lurk on boards or post here very rarely. Recently I've decided to get back into playing more tournaments again and I thought if there are others in the same boat something like this might help us to set ourselves some goals for the coming months.

Would anyone be interested in a contest to see who can finish the highest on the Pokerstars TLB for November or if it's too late for that we could go for December?

We all put $50 into the pool or less if people just want to play for fun and at the end of the month we post our results which you can get pretty
easily from the Stars menu.

Sounds like a good idea, but how are the points for the TLB generated? Does the buy-in amount matter? Do higher priced tourneys recieve more points?

Half way down.

"Here's how it works: The top 15% of finishers will receive points towards the PokerStars Tournament Rankings standings, based the number of entrants, the tournament buy-in, and place of finish. Note: "Sit-and-go" tournaments with less than 45 players, "Sit-and-go" satellites, heads-up tournaments, shootout tournaments, restricted-entry tournaments, private tournaments, FPP tournaments, play money buy-in tournaments, VIP Freerolls, and satellite tournaments do not count towards the rankings.

The formula used to determine the total points awarded to a player (in the top 15% finishers) for any given tournament is:

Points = 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]

Where:

n is the number of entrants
k is the place of finish (k=1 for the first-place finisher, and so on)
b is the buy-in amount in dollars (excluding administrative fee). For freerolls the buy-in is $0, and for FPP tournaments 1 FPP is counted as $0.05.

Ian I *distinctly* recall you saying on the Sunday when you won the $55 45 person sit n go that it was the 3rd time you had won it that weekend!
And now to my horror and disgust I discover that you were claiming a mere 2nd place as 'a win'. You sir are worse than Jeffrey Dahmer, Stalin, and Jim Carrey put together.

I may have to quit poker I'm so disillusioned and, yes, even hurt.
