A new way to Gamble away the college fund. The Crackpot Jackpot!

posted Jun 2, 2010 11:43 AM by Clay Gump

Join myself and a few other degenerate action junkies and play in the Crackpot Jackpot.
It is real simple.
  • Write your name on a $20 dollar bill.
  • All the $20s go in a envelope with all the names on it and is sealed up and locked it away.
  • Once somebody on that list of names wins the tourney they get the Jackpot. What they do with the envelope is up to them. 
  • The Jackpot will stay locked up and sealed until somebody wins it.
  • You do not have to keep adding $20 every month. Once you've joined in that is it.
  • A few simple ground rules.
    • Once the envelope is sealed nobody else can join in.
    • All players on the list do not have to be present to win.
    • A tourney must have 25 or more players to count as a jackpot tourney.
    • No side bounties are allowed. In other words you can't tell folks "I'll give anyone who knocks out Gary $5"
    • No collusion allowed. In other words you can't have a player throw the match just so you can win the jackpot and then split it with them. (That will get you in big trouble at a real tourney)
Sounds like lots of fun don't it? For those in the Jackpot there could possibly be a sweet payout for taking down the tourney.

NOTE:
You can add a additional Crackpot Jackpot anytime you want. If you missed the original sign up in June and want to start another one later that is cool. You can join as many Jackpots as you want. They can also be for any amount that you want as log as everyone pays the same amount.Just follow the same rules as above. I will hold and lock up all the Jackpot Envelopes.

New Points Formula

posted Jan 9, 2010 9:14 AM by Clay Gump

For those of you geeky enough to care I've tweaked the points formula somewhat. Why? Because I can. :)
  • I've changed the multiplier for 1st place from 2 to 1.5. So instead of first place getting TWICE the points they get 1.5 times the points. 
  • The bottom 50% of players get 1/2 what 10th place gets. 
Here is a real world example. The Jan Tourney had 36 players. 
  • First place = Number of Players * 10 * 1.5 = 540 points. (old system would have been 720 pts) 
  • 2nd thru 9th place = Num Players - Rank * 10. NO CHANGE HERE. 2nd = 350 3rd = 340 4th = 330 etc 9th = 280. 
  • 10th to the top 50% of finishers get 1/2 of the 9th place finish. 10th to 18th all get 140pts
  • If you finish in the bottom half of players you get 1/2 of what the top  50% non-final table gets. 19th to 36th = 70pts 
So the #1 player doesn't get such a huge surge of points but still gets a nice 50% bonus. 
Even if you don't make it to the final table those who at least make it to the top half of finishers will do ok. 
Those of you who are bottom feeders will still get points but not as much as before.
