Ravi Choudhary

Ravi Choudhary For clarification - is it too late to select your wildcard rounds?

Adam Latchford

Ravi Choudhary Cheers, Adam!

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Will add when I update it with scores (he was the last person to enter. I have his rating locked)

Ian Volante

Ian Volante I still don't understand how this works. I probably said that last year too.

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Very simple. You have a rating of 1000. You score 100 here. You need 900 more points to get your target.
If you'd played rex on a wildcard and scored 100 here you'd have 2.5x your points so 250. Therefore you'd have 750 more points to get to.your rating.

Jon Pinyan The winner is the first one to get there, after several rounds. Last year it took 11 rounds for anyone to get there.

Fiona T

Fiona T Could you add % reached to the spreadsheet too pretty please?

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Yes I'll add that in by the end of round 2 :-)

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford Ian: just to clarify. The winner is who reaches their exact rating first. After that has been achieved the tournament still continues for everyone else to see if they can reach theirs. Last year 14 people reached which was a sterling effort. I've means tested the games so it will be achievable no matter what your starting rating was.

If you guys like I'll add an faq / rules thread into spreadsheet with answers to anything anybody has asked before? Again will do after round 2 if so

Ian Volante

Ian Volante Got it, thanks.
