Join my FT Fantasy Poker League...

All you have to do is pick winners for these daily tourneys. I don't understand how they last for 3 days though. I'm starting to look at the rules and setup so, not sure what it's all about yet.

The name of my League is The Big Easy (look under 'T'). Password is nawlins - not sure how many people are in a league - the software is very confusing to me. Here are the people so far:

http://contest.linkrd.com/fulltilt/w...roup_id=874815

It starts May 28. Does not appear there was an event #1, at least not as far as event #1 would relate to getting points. But highlighted in red are all the entrants registered in that particular event. If you are familiar with these FT pros, please sign up and help me. lol

When you make your picks, you select 5 players each in A, B, and C. My first time with something like this. But if anyone thinks this might be fun, please feel free to join!!

Okay, here is the scoring system...

SCORING SYSTEM Fantasy Dollars will be awarded as follows:

• You will earn one for each real dollar earned by your "C" players
• You will earn two Fantasy Dollars for each real dollar earned by your "B" players
• You will earn three Fantasy Dollars for each real dollar earned by your "A" players

They even have a little cheat sheet if you need help, it's like looking at everyone else's answer.

I'd like to join your group but I already registered for this. I'm not sure if I'm able to change groups....I'll sure try though

I'd think you can join more than one, no? Give it a shot. Well, I already unregistered and registered from mine because I thought I was registered twice. So I know it can be done. The stupid software lists all the players in your league, then 'VIP' (no idea what that's all about) under it, and your name under that.

I saw the VIP thing....I thought it was just showing me as that because I was the one logged in (like you would see that on your screen)....Apparently that's not the case though...I have no idea why mine would be VIP....

Also, Event #1 in the WSOP is a casino employee's tournament so that's why you can't pick winners for that one.

Thanks for continuing to update your post too. It really helped me since I have never played in anything like this before!

We'll get this thing figured out!

Bump for more action

I'll give it a try

No, you are not VIP. My name is listed right above VIP, and then it's listed beneath it too (I think it lists the users name beneath VIP, so it would be different on each person's screen). If you don't see your name in there, I don't think you are registered. If you go to my very first link, under the password box, it should tell you what you're registered in, with an option to remove yourself. We'll figure it out alright! lol

That's what I was trying to say, I just don't think I worded it well. I made my picks for the first event. I'm glad it says they'll just reuse your picks from the last event if you don't remember to make new ones....I'm certain I'll forget a bunch of times

Ok- I joined up. Made my first picks. Good Luck guys and girls.

So glad you guys have joined. Got a question. Is there a limit to the size of the league?? Since you only get points for correct picks, I'd imagine you want as big a league as possible (?????). People, please sign up, it's easy. Should have some picks by tonight.

I'll give this a whirl as well. Wasn't sure what the fantasy points were for but it seems like if you do well, you can potentially earn some prizes. Regardless, it's free so we'll see what happens!

Edit: Wow, just realized how time consuming this could be if you pick out players for each even!

I have already picked my players but i'll try and join your league too

btw - event Number one is a $500 casino employees event, thats why it not listed

Edit - oops, just seen Velutha mentioned the game too

YAy! But I don't see you guys listed in my league. There are already 10 - is that a max??? That's what I can't figure out. We can always start a new league. And yes, it does look very time consuming, especially if you don't know who's who in the more obscure areas like Omaha HL or Razz or 2-7 draw.

It seems like they list 10 per page. Do you see a "next" link anywhere. I see you and 10 others listed including Beardyian

I joined the group and made my picks for the first two events
Lets see how that goes.
Good luck!

B-Ump

Yes!! Cool! welcome and thanks for joining. I see the 2nd page of folks now. But can anyone explain if there is a cap and what that might be on league member #?? Still seems the more the merrier. Or are we penalized for not having enough folk? Weird that the rules don't mention it. It;s the one only part that seems critical but not addressed.

What's your name on Full Tilt? Did you sign up?

Hey people, looks like I lied. The names in RED are just the pros associated with Full Tilt. Every name on the list is registered for that event. This was probably obvious to everyone but me. These picks are taking awhile. I think event #3, the Omaha H/L is gonna be very tough to pick.

There's still time to join the league, if anyone wants to.

I also see it doesn't matter how many are in a league. The 'laegue' does not score points. It only serves for bragging rights against each other.

I joined also.

Will be Fun to see how everyone does!

I officially did terrible in the events so far! I was excited because I thought I had picked Justin Bonomo in the event that he final tabled....turns out I had picked him in the other event....

Well, you have more points than I do. Annie Duke in Omaha scored my only points. I picked Bonomo for today's $1.5k NLHE, but he's probably not interested in the piddly stakes anymore.

I just joined the group. GL all!

2nd at the moment

Great start! Seems the day did nothing for you. I've moved up a little with a few Stud cashes. Started out hopeful in Event 12 Mixed Games, and spent a lot of time on the picks. A-lister DeMichele after placing 4th last year, and 2nd in the 50k HORSE is a no-show. A couple more A-listers gone, and a couple B & Cs doing well. About to give up!!

Great to have you! Maybe you'll bring me some good luck. You won't be far behind me if you pick with a blindfold on.

Hands up who didnt pick Phil Ivey in the event that he won a bracelet in (NL 2-7 lo ball)


Doh

Is there any way you can know who is listed to enter an event in advance so you can chop and change your choices?

I want to leave out players who aren't taking part and draft in ones who are, but I can't find a list of entrants for individual events anywhere...

No one knows until the start of an event who is playing as you can often sign up for it until the last minute (just like online).

I've often read the on floor reporters walking around to see who is sitting.

I would have been better off being one of those people who picked once, and never changed their picks for any event. I didn't pick him either, as I thought he was still busy in the 10k Stud. I surely would have picked him, as I will in the Omaha today. Negreanu is another question. He's 2nd of 11 in the Limit. Is the any possibly way he won't be done in time for the 10k Omaha HL? I know he loves limit, and will play if he can.

I'll be doing something like that for the quite a few events since I'm going out of town for about a week and a half beginning tomorrow. Good luck on the rest of your picks everyone!

alright... I'm in.. good luck everyone!

I just joined, 2nd place overall right now but its a nice close race.

I also have the highest single event rank of 20th in event 16 Won me a free hat.

Sorry I haven't looked at this thread in a few days. Welcome, Steller!! You're doing pretty well for a latecomer.

Wow, that is amazing. I didn't even see your name added to our league. So I'm thinking 2nd place?!?!?! WTF, who is this guy! Had to go and look. Welcome to The Big Easy! Well, I was in 20th place yesterday but moved up to 11th. We all kicked butt in event 18. If that doesn't get me into a freeroll, I'll be ticked. Styb, irishkev & I started a thread in another forum, and we've started sharing pick ideas. Done with my picks for 2-7 Lowball. For the 1.5k NLHE donkfest, I'll just drag out the dartboard again. Congrats on the hat!

Haha, not that amazing, Ive played every event so far, just didnt have a league.
Don't worry you'll get your freeroll. I earned one back in event 6 and my registration just showed up like 2 days ago. FT is just really slow at setting them up in your prizes.

I continue to suck in this. It would help if I had any clue who was in any given event....

I quite agree. I keep getting emails from Full Tilt saying the deadline is looming for you to make your picks for the next event - but there is no way of knowing who is playing in the next event.
