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.

http://contest.linkrd.com/fulltilt/wsop09/groups.cgi

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/wsop09/fan_results.cgi?group_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

http://contest.linkrd.com/fulltilt/wsop09/fan_enter_picks.cgi

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...

http://contest.linkrd.com/fulltilt/wsop09/rules


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 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. :D 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!

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

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!

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

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?

:deal: 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. :eek: 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.

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.

2nd at the moment :party:

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!!

I just joined the group. GL all!
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.
