A tie...Yeah! We all win!

Fantasy Poker result:

As luck would have it, the most picked guy won. Actually, that wasn't luck because he went into the tournament as the favorite (according to many.)

According to the original intended rules of a "draft", I would win. But I will call it a tie. There are too many people for me to buy a tshirt for everyone (I'm not a hot shot attorney like you-know-who), so I owe these people a pint of beer:

Dr Fro
Junelli
mcandrew*
superj
KTL
IAGchamp

* denotes halfpint of beer for kinda following the originally intended rules.

KTL - I can get yours anytime after work. For the Houstonites, don't worry, I travel to Houston for work quite regularly. The only firm plans now are for the Big XII Championship game in December, but I bet I will be there 5-6 times before then. I will keep you posted.

What were the rules? Ivey was eliminated in 20th place. I thought we were picking a winner.

The rules are whatever Fro says they are. I want a beer or I'm going to start holding my breath until I pass out.

"If nobody correctly picks the winner, then the person whose player placed the highest wins, as long as their player made the top 20 (this is like the 8-qualifying rule in O/8!)."

So, just to screw me into having to buy lots of beers, Phil Ivey placed in exactly 20th place. This reminds me of OU tanking the Big 12 Championship just to keep UT out of the BCS 2 yrs ago.

So have you figured it out yet........next year you can hold an auction for players rights, like you would for fantasy football? Trades allowed after daily chip counts, etc. Sounds manageable.

Even a silent auction would work for an out-of-town forum like this.

Prize payouts would depend on the amount of the pool AFTER the draft.
