*barf* Gold Is Cardplayer.com's Poty

[HappyG 0]

Unless they completely cut out the 2006 ME, Jamie Gold will be 2006's Player of the year.Out of curiosity, I did calculations of his POTY points, based on CardPlayer's criteria:Place recived: 120 points for first place.Buy-in: This is a 10,000 event, so 4.Number of entrants: 60-64 = .6 point, 65-74 = .7 point, 75-84 = .8 point, 85-94 = .9, 95-100 = 1 point. Every 10 additional number of entrants increases the number of points by 0.1. The number of entrants is rounded to the nearest 10. The maximum number of points is 4. Examples are: 57 players = 0 points, 72 players = .7 points, 132 players = 1.3 points, 135 players = 1.4 points, and 650 players = 4 points. (In this case, 87.7)That is now multiplied together. so 120 x 4 x 87.7 = 42,096. Considering his closest competitor is Michael Mizrachi with 5,865 points, over halfway through 2006, this joke of a champion is now a joke of a POTY.This really is a sad day in poker.

I dont know how they adjusted it, but they must have capped the bonus points for player entries because gold only got about 2k points1Jamie Gold$12,000,0001,920 2Paul Wasicka$6,102,4991,600 3Michael Binger$4,123,3101,280 4Allen Cunningham$3,628,513960 5Rhett Butler$3,216,182800 6Richard Lee$2,803,851640 7Doug Kim$2,391,520480 8Erik Friberg$1,979,189320 9Dan Nassif$1,566,858160

120*4*4!=42096

Yes I looked, I didn't know if they had already updated the standings or not.I was just going by CardPlayer's own scoring criteria. That's all.Edit: Thanks zsta, I misread that.

cardplayer points system sucks anyway.Any field 500 players or above is given the same field size bonus (almost every wsop tourney has 500 or more players)Any tourney 10k or above is given the same buy in bonus (so the 50k horse winners hardly got any points since it was so few players)

Hey OP, if you look at CardPlayer.com, 14 hours ago they announced Madsen as WSOP Player of the Year.That alone should sum it up.I doubt Gold will pass any of the leaders, Mizrachi, Hellmuth, Madsen, or Cunningham, from this one event as big as it was.Do you think we will see him at any more FTs this year?(He's 23rd after the ME.)

120*4*4!=42096

actually, the correct calculation would be 120*(4*4)=1920

Wasn't talking about the WSOP, I was talking about the year in general.I did realize I didn't read through all the evidence, so I was completely wrong in my assumption.

too bad, you actually wrote the evidence in your original post

since 120*16 is obviously different then 480*4Also, in case you didnt know, '!=' means 'not equal to', I wasnt referring to 4 factorial. Try checking yourself before you correct others.
