BPP Scoring/Format

[avongirl]

A few ideas have been put forward for a new scoring system for BPP. I'll copy them into here. Please add any more ideas or thoughts on those put forward and we'll see if there's a desire to change how it works in future. Thoughts about the current system. Although it's not easy to work out the points manually, it's very easy to do once the formula is in a spreadsheet. Any new system would need to be capable of being tracked in a spreadsheet (and you might have to design it :tongue2). It awards more points the more entrants there are, but the difference in points between each position is constant (eg. 1st is 60 more than 2nd, which is 35 more than 3rd...) However, no account is taken of size of buy-in.

Re: BPP Scoring .

My one problem with the BPP was always that massive freerolls with thousands of players had a vastly greater effect on the standings than smaller tournaments with maybe higher entry costs. So...my idea would be to carry on using the current scoring system...but then adjust them so that the top score is always 100. That way all games would count equally regardless of the number of entries. As an example...the BPP scores for last nights PokerKings game would have been low due to only 21 entries...yet that was one of the toughest games I have played in and it would be nice to know that every game carried the same reward.
