IMPORTANT: Changes for 2005
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2005 10:47 am
The bonus point system Phil started on the previous WCC worked so well I am going to do similarly for this year's GEGOTW.
I will still award 10, 7, and 5 points for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively, but I will also award two (2) bonus points to the player with the highest score thus far at the end of the 2nd, 4th, and 6th days.
That is Sunday night, Tuesday night, and Thursday night.
As last year, I don't want to commit to the amount of the totals winner prizes at the start of the year. Last year it wound up being $500, $250 and $125 (usd) respectively. I certainly wouldn't expect it to be any more than that.
Also I considered last year taking the top two or four players and having some sort of playoff at the end of the year. I'd be interested in hearing opions on whether that sounds like fun and what format it should take.
But unless I decide on a playoff, the main change this year is the bonus points as explained above.
Have fun!
