Rules of Gencon Fantasy:
Spoiler Alert!
Scoring
You will pick a team of 5 'Scapers who are playing in the 2010 GenCon Indianapolis Championship and earn points based upon the performance of all of the members of your team. Points will be earned on both Day 1 and Day 2 of the tournament.
On Day 1 you will earn 10 points for each victory a member of your team has in the tournament and a bonus of 10 points for each member of your team that has a winning record in Day 1.
For example, if your team consists of players A (4W-1L), B (3W-2L), C (2W-3L), D (3W-2L), and E (2W-3L) your team would have a combined record of 14W-11L and would have 3 players with winning records. You would earn 170 points for Day 1 even though it is likely that only player A will have made the cut for Day 2.
The players who make the cut for Day 2 will earn points based when they are eliminated from the tournament upon the following scale:
1st Place 100 pts
2nd Place 80 pts
3rd Place 60 pts
4th Place 45 pts
5th – 8th 25 pts
9th – 16th 15 pts
One (1) of your players may be an “Other”. No – not on a movable desert island from a popular television show. An "Other" will represent the field of players in the tournament who are not listed on the Master Eligibility List. However this player will not earn points on Day 1 and only the top finishing “Other” participant is eligible to earn points. Furthermore that player will have his points divided in half again after normal scoring rules have been applied. For example, if player A above was an “Other” he would only be worth 30 points for all those who selected him (assuming he is the highest finishing “Other”) and would have earned no points on Day 1.

Rosters must be comprised of 5 people selected from the Master Eligibility list.
You must have a team value of less than or equal to 70 points.
Players point values will fuctuate up and down based upon the popularity of that pick. There is no gurantee that your picks will play in the Championship Tournament.

All entries must be submitted via PM by 11:59 Pacific Time, August 1, 2010.
Only one entry is allowed per person.
A confirmation PM will be sent to inform you that your team has been accepted. After the deadline has passed, rosters and player division factors will be released to the general public.
All participants may change their roster ONE time throughout the duration of this contest using the most recent values associated with each pick.
No team is allowed to be exactly the same as another. In the event that identical submissions are made, the first to make that submission will be given that roster and any subsequent submissions will be voided and the individuals making said submissions will be contacted via PM informing them of the voided entry.
If you choose, you may list your army publicly after you have received your confirmation PM.
Ties, although unlikely, will be broken by the locked in total team value where lower is better. If there is still a tie a d20 will be rolled.
