Contest Website:
http://www.mttbacking.com/ftops.html

Hey kids. I'm starting a second FTOPS contest a little less balla than the other one. With cjm's permission through illnugwichee, I'm going to be using his scoring system. There's a few minor tweaks, but the scoring will be identical. If anyone's worried about me holding the money, I'm sure several well-known/trusted players will be willing to vouch for me here. In the next few days, I'll create a website for scoring, which I'll try my hardest to update on a daily basis.

Slightly Tweaked Rules:

• <LI>Money will be sent to thechemist83 (Lockport) on pokerstars or thechemist83 (city L/turtle avatar) on FullTilt</LI> <LI>Events 6, 14, 17, and 22 WILL NOT count towards either contest (non-negotiable)</LI> <LI>Team contest cost $1,500 per team</LI> <LI>Singles contest cost $500 per team</LI> <LI>Top 12 scores will be used for the team contest with each member contributing no more than 5 scores</LI> <LI>Top 6 scores will be used for the singles contest</LI>

All other rules identical. Plagiarized rules below:

Team Rules:

• <LI>Buyin is $1,500 per team</LI> <LI>3 players per team</LI> <LI>You will be considered entered once you send payments to thechemist83 (Lockport) on Pokerstars or thechemist83 (city L/turtle avatar) on FullTilt</LI> <LI>All events count towards scores EXCEPT events 6, 14, 17 (my personal fav event), and 22 (non-negotiable)</LI> <LI>The top 12 scores from everyone on your team combine to equal your total score, but you can only use 5 per person</LI> <LI>For shootouts and heads up tournaments, your finish is the average placement of the round you got knocked out of</LI>

Single Rules:

• <LI>Buyin is $500 per player</LI> <LI>You will be considered entered once you send payment to thechemist83 (Lockport) on Pokerstars or thechemist83 (city L/turtle avatar) on FullTilt</LI> <LI>All events count towards scores EXCEPT events 6, 14, 17 (my personal fav event), and 22 (non-negotiable)</LI> <LI>Your top 6 scores combine to equal your total score</LI> <LI>For shootouts and heads up tournaments, your finish is the average placement of the round you got knocked out of</LI>

Crashed Tournament Rule:

• <LI>If a tournament crashes and is not in the money, the tournament does not count</LI> <LI>If a tournament is in the money, average placement will be awarded to all who were in when the tournament crashed</LI>

Scoring Rule:

• <LI>(How many people you out-lasted) / (Entrants of MTT) x 100 = Sub Total</LI> <LI>Sub Total + Any Bounses = (Total) </LI> <LI>Bonuses are only added if they are achieved </LI> <LI>To achieve the ITM Bonus you must cash in the tournament </LI> <LI>To achieve the FT Bonus you must make it to the final table of the tournament </LI> <LI>To achieve the WIN Bonus you must come in first in the tournament </LI>

Bonuses Bases on Entrants:

Entrants ITM Bonus FT Bonus WIN Bonus
100-500 5.7 10.5 17.5
501-1000 5.65 11.5 20
1001-1500 5.6 12.5 22.5
1501-2000 5.55 13.5 25
2001-2500 5.5 14.5 27.5
2501-3000 5.45 15.5 30
3001-3500 5.4 16.5 32.5
3501-4000 5.35 17.5 35
4001-4500 5.3 18.5 37.5
4501-5000 5.25 19.5 40
5001-5500 5.2 20.5 42.5
5501-6000 5.15 21.5 45
6001-6500 5.1 22.5 47.5
6501-7000 5.05 23.5 50
7001+ 5 24.5 52.5

EXAMPLE: Stars Tournament, You finish 9th out of a 2000 person field.
(1991/2000) x 100 = 99.55
99.55 + 5.55 + 13.5 + 0 = 118.6
You would achieve a total of 118.6 points for that finish.

Payout Rules:

TY

Interested, might be in for both. I will try to get a team together.

Make some teams.. Invite some friends.. Talk to other interested players listed above.. Would be nice to have at least 10 singles and 5 teams.

I will post the website link at some point today or tomorrow. As long as I get your money before the start of Event 1, you'll be able to join the contest.

I am joking people, join the contest win some money, have some effing fun. Thechemist is an honorable man.

im interested in the singles event but i havn't looked at the ftops schedule yet, ill get back to you guys later today, and hopefully more ppl wil have joined, also i would like to play the team event, if i play the singles, but i wont have a team, so if anybody needs a teammember HOLLA

http://www.mttbacking.com/ftops.html will be the site with daily (or almost daily) updates. I will finish it today or tomorrow. It won't be too fancy... just something everyone can use to see the updated scores.

got it patrol... got your team's money too.. thanks gl
