2015 WSOP 25K Fantasy League Rules

* Means it’s a new or amended rule for 2015

Buy In: $25,000
Betting Units for picking players: 200
Number of players per team: 8

Each team must fill a roster of 8 players and must keep enough units to fill out their roster. So, for example, if you need 3 players and have 52 units left
the max bid you can make on a player is 50.

The Scoring System:

1st 50
2nd 45
3rd 40
4th 35
5th 30
6th 25
7th 20
8th 15
9th 10
10th-18th 5
Cash 1

Points are worth double in events with a 10k buy in or higher.

Points are worth 1.5x in events with a 5k buy in.

*Points are worth .5x in events with buy in’s less than $1,000.

The Main Event is worth 3x points.

An additional point per 100 entries is awarded to players who finish in the top 18. No rounding off. An event with 87 players gets no point bonus, a 105 player field gets a 1 point bonus, a 265 player field gets a 2 point bonus.

*For every 1000 players 9 more players get the field bonus, capped at 9 tables.

A 1451 player field would award a 14 point bonus to all players in the top 27, and a 2200 player field would award 22 bonus points to all players in the top 36.

Field bonus will be added to the score after adding the 1.5x for 5k’s or doubling for 10k’s.

*Field bonus is capped at 100 bonus points.

EXAMPLE: A 1st place finish in a $10,000 NL with 312 players

50x2=100

+3

Total 103

In a heads up event, players finishing in the same position would split the points for that spot. For example, 5th through 8th would get 22.5 points (plus field size bonuses) and be rounded up.

In order to receive points, a player must cash.

Bidding: A random order will be drawn for nominating players to be bid on. You may NOT pass your turn to throw out a name. Once a player is thrown out for bidding the auction starts, and he'll go to the highest bidder after a call of going once, going twice, sold.

Payouts: Will depend on the number of entries-
8 or less: 75%/25%
12 or less: 65%/25%/10%
More than 12:  60%/25%/10%/5%

The draft will be on May 26th at 7pm at the Aria. If you are late, you may miss an opportunity to get a player you want. Anyone who arrives late can still participate in the league.

Results will be updated nightly via http://www.25kfantasy.com

The main event will count, but points will be awarded to any players
making the final 9 based on chip count. So if your player sits in 6th place
you'll get 6th place points for his result.

Points will only be awarded in open events, no Seniors, Ladies, or Employee
events will count.
