Balloon guy 158 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Can I pick one player, one awesome player, and have him be my only pick and get 10x the points he accumulates?and can it be a rule that no one else can pick Robert Varkoni after I do this? Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 By the way.In the place where you tell us that any remote misspelling will disqualify that person on your team, that spelling muct be exact and the the full name no nicknames will suffice:It's Phil Mellmuth Jr.Anyone know what J.C. Tran's name is? Link to post Share on other sites

Tran's name is?Basically the spelling rule is there to try and keep as many people as possible using the "standard" way that a player is known and to use the real name as opposed to nicknames. We'll be using an excel set up that searches to match names to track the results and the less changes we have to make to what people have entered the better.If somebody makes an honest spelling mistake and lets us know we can go in and fix it.

Balloon guy 158 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 One thing for sure, this is ten times better than the Full Tilt one last year where they 'let' you pick 10 people per tournament, but the order counted, and the selection list was not simple, with lots of back and forth interweb pages.And to top it off you couldn't just pick one group and auto select them for all the tournaments.
