Player of the Year

And now for something completely different................. A mess of stuff spewing from a madman's mind
Ok for those of you who don't know me or don't pay attention, I run a Poker League in North East PA. People play poker in bars and taverns for points and compete 3 times a year for $2500 in prizes. We have 2 different player of the year awards, 1) Top points: the person who has acrued the most points over the entire fiscal year. Players earn pts for playing, for making final tables, for bounties, for referring players and for supporting the bars, after all its free for the players but somebodies gotta pay me! 2) Winner of the Tournament of Champions: the top 16 at each regional tournament, 3NJ 3PA plus the top 25 in points (who are not already qualified from the regionals) in both NJ and PA, qualify for the TOC. 144 of "the best" players we have will square of in a no holds barred, battle royal cage match of death, WINNER TAKE ALL! winner gets entry into the 2008 WPT MAIN EVENT to be held at Foxwoods in Nov.
Now you may be saying ok great, good for you, what does that have to do with this topic.........welll......... here it is. EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS SPADECLUB evolves, if you set up the player of the year similar to this where you have qualifiers from different points of the year into another tournament, a year end big showdown brewhaha shindig, well now you have a better accounting of who the capo di tuti capo is.
If you think about it this way (now I know Im not the best on here, I get pissy and distracted too much)(LOOK A SQUIRREL) but I don't play in the big games as often as most, I have a business (see above) that keeps me out most nights (during the $500's) and the weekends, every other I have my kids. Bang, my scores are handicapped because I can't get to the bigg point games. But I've been here since mid January. I've played with and beaten, and been beaten by the best players and the worst players that have march the hallowed halls of spadeclub. So what I'm trying to say is my suggestion is to break it down into smaller samples rather than just 1 big sample. And by doing this going retro isnt all that bad.

Man do i get so sick and tired of hearing players bitch about this stupid spoy shit. Fact of the matter is wether or not its retro with past results. I still get just as many finals now as i did back then If not more now that the retqard players are here now. When this site first started alot of these players that bitch about rankings and other shit would of never been able to compeat with such players as MasterDan, Kentucky, Vtroung, RiverRat33, Jackie, ect... the play was better in turn harder
