PokerOwned March Madness upgrade idea

[gpahren]

You're not getting the concept - it's supposed to be a one game, single elimination format. Not an aggregate.

Except that we're looking at best finish of the day (4 games) anyway.

As a tiebreaker, yes. But the idea is still that if you and I play in the first Carbon tournament of the day together, only that result matters.

[gpahren]

Then how about using Player Rater as the tiebreaker?

[gpahren]

I just think it's a disincentive to play later games if I, say, finish high in the 1:00 game that my opponent doesn't play in. Why would I risk that high placing by playing in a later game and getting knocked out early?

I guess that's part of the strategy. I honestly don't think people are gonna change their schedule because of this promotion, unless it was the finals and there was a lot of pts at stake.

ok i think we should have a high and a low roller thing for this if possible...say the low roller is 100 points to enter high roller is 1,000 points to enter you can only enter one or the other each week

1000 points to get 64 people? Wont happen

I am thinking one thats 100-150 points and one thats like 25 points

I still say use the Player Rater formula.

Thats what I was thinking

And the more I think about it, the more I think people who can't make the first game (1:00 ET) would be at a severe disadvantage.

[rivdee]

This may be a tad off topic, but I would like to see both of the BCP games count towards grinder. I would make more people play the games, and lead to bigger prizes in the BCP games.

Actually this is completely off topic.

I think one with 150 and one with 25 is good. I also don't see any reason why someone should be prohibited from entering both.
