    Second IWS MMA Capping Contest

    It seems many of us want another contest. Anyone who's interested say so. We can finish ironing out the fine print(the buy in, and the betting limit as discussed after the last one) after we get the roster on board.

                  While we wait for those fools to chime in, we should probably start working on the details.

                  What's the buy-in? $10 again? I'm cool with that if everyone else is.

                  The cut off for placing bets is when the first fighter steps into the cage. Is that where we're at on that?

                  How about the max bet? Do we want to leave this open to guys winning by getting lucky with a big bet on a big dog? Any other questions/concerns/suggestions?

                  Etc. . .

                  Let's discuss.

                    It is more fun with the wild west style shootout... but not really a good indicator of capping ability, IMO.

                    I would be ok with the same rules as last time. I think the only issue is the 20% max bet.

                    How about no max bet? I think guys would get wiped out quicker that way, but someone would inevitably hit and then everyone would have to chase them...

                    How about a 10% this would be a slower game and things would probably stay pretty tight... We wouldn't have guys going from last to first every event... but then, that was part of the fun.

                    So, I guess it depends on what kind of contest we want it to be.

                      I would be okay with 10%. If nothing else, we could try it this time and figure out which way we like it better. If we decide we prefer the fun of greater volatility then we can go back to it the next time around.

                        Re: Second IWS MMA Capping Contest

                        I wouldn't mind if w try 10% and see which one we like better either.

                        Cut off would be when a fighter enters the cage but someone is going to have to be in charge of coming in here and posting that time. It isn't going to be Me because I'll forget.

                        I was thinking before that a raised buy in would make it better but Zak I think it was gave a great point to keep it where it is. If we have alot of these things and someone doesn't win a few that could end up being alot of lost money and it may cause people to lose interest in playing in the future. $10 seems to be a good buy in because it can add up for the winner and it's small enough individually that we won't lose players as quickly because of it.

                          I agree with this. Let's keep things on the "fun" side, while still winning some money. It's not the World Series of Poker or anything.
