Ship_itt 0 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 2 questions..are the payouts negotiable or are you the sole decision?? also, where did the point scale come from? would it not make more sense to simply add up your best 25 places and lowest score wins?

FARGOpokerND 22 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 2 questions..are the payouts negotiable or are you the sole decision?? also, where did the point scale come from? would it not make more sense to simply add up your best 25 places and lowest score wins?This is the 5th or 6th 4.40 challenge that has been run...tried and tried again, so the payouts and point scale are based off previous challenges. It's weighted towards cashing, final tabling, and winning (as are all payout structures in any tourney) No chance in getting anything changed in that regard.I think if enough people ask for payout change, it would be seriously looked at.

Mr. Sparco 2 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 also, where did the point scale come from?For the very first $4.40 challenge, I proposed a point scale that was more or less the same one that Stars uses for their tournament leader boards: the points scaled as 1/SQRT(position). It turned out that that was reasonable but not perfect for $4.40s; in particular, most people felt that near the top places it had to be made a bit steeper. So for the second challenge, some small changes were made by hand [insert well-earned reference here - I forgot who made the second scale], and basically everyone was happy then and it has been like that ever since.

The version we settled on was created by qyayqi. As for the payouts, in the past its been pretty obvious how it should be but if there are any questions we'll discuss it. My role is as organizer, not dictator. Link to post Share on other sites
