Scoring

• You will pick a team of 5 'Scapers who are playing in the 2009 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.
  
  Rules
• Only memebers who join the site before July 1, 2009 are eligible for prizes.
• 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 60 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 PMs will be processed for the day AFTER pont values have been adjusted from the previous day. If this causes a roster to become illegal, the person will be notified as soon as possible.
• All entries must be submitted via PM by Monday, August 10h 2009 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.

The only sense in which I'll be first in this competition, most likely.

Here's my entry:

Tom
Cleon
Onacara
Darkmage 7a
Kildawabit

The five highest NERVers in the Championship.

The points make things interesting.

[Einar's puppy]

This year I've had a lot more tournament experiance, so I'm going to go with people who I've seen do really well at tournaments, and people who've won near me.

1. Cleon
2. Taeblewalker
3. Onacara
4. tom
5. the Guru

Taeblewalker has beaten me every game we've played, so I figure I might as well go with him. Cleon one the Battle at the Border. Onacara always places well. Tom is a force on the Eastern PA/Maryland scene. He usually places pretty well in them or even wins them. the Guru is just there because I had no good choices left that I had seen in my area tournaments, so I just picked someone who I recignize on scapers.

[Matthias Maccabeus]

1. Mantrain
2. Dignan
3. Tom
4. Fomox
5. Utgar's Rage

Keeping things fresh. :P

I am considering getting rid of the divisor at the end (number of people that picked that person) for score due to the points this year, but I'm not sure yet.

I figured it is easier to take a stipulation at a later date than to put one in.

So you can't make gencon? That's a shame.
