| Hey Hey Hey now we don't need any talk like that. I have enjoyed the MVP races and played in a few tournaments over the past few years. It is a fun and competitive sideline to the team part of the APA. Plus winning the MVP tournament gets you into the singles regionals. Some of us participate very regularly in the singles aspect of APA. I would hate to see it go. |

My intention was not to ruffle anybodies feathers. I have played in three MVP tournaments and although I did not play as well as I would have liked to I have enjoyed each of the tournaments I played in and have met some really nice people. My point is like it or not the MVP point system works. |

Not only does the system work as well as anyone could hope it could, there isn't a single player on any team that isn't motivated by it.
Instead of complaining about the way things are done now, why not brainstorm inventive ideas on how to promote our league and get more interest.
Just recently, we added the Tournament of Champions to our APA tourney rotation. In my opinion, it's been a big success.
Why don't we dream up some ideas for recurring "theme" tournaments. I was thinking something along the lines of blindfolded scotch random draw doubles. Not sure I'm gonna get much support here but...
I think the worst time to have a heart attack would be during a game of charades... or during a game of fake heart attack. |

Actually Torsten.............that would be unfair to all other players as most of us have seen you shoot and believe you do it blindfold. And no........that wasn't meant to be a complement. 
Good Shooting All! |

But not one-handed, Doug.
Funny and true. I actually heard someone say this about me a couple of seasons ago. "That guy is the luckiest player I have ever seen. He practically never misses."
Needless to say, I was quite amused. Reason #1 being, I miss frequently enough, and Reason #2, on the off chance I make a shot, at least 50% of the time it's intentional.

To add to the chaos what about adding one point for playing thus if two 7s play the winner gets 8 and the loser gets 1

Or maybe just one extra to the winner and the loser still gets 0

Phil, it is amazing to me you have the tournament at all. I joined in the last days when the MVP, was the person with the most points, PERIOD!! It was a fight between Richard, Sean and Erwin every year in my neck of the woods. I never had a shot at it, not a chance in this world.
I appreciate you breaking it to the three tier system. It allows more players to play the MVP tournament, that otherwize wouldn't get a chance to play in such a fun tournament.
I like the system we have now, the MVP should come from the pool table, not the "BCS"

not sure who the LAST reply was directed at...I realize that several players responded to this thread, But I believe my posting was the ONLY one suggesting a change in the way the MPV is determined.
I Never suggested that this was a Football "thing" (BCS)....just wanted to see if ALL players could receive an EQUAL score for winning matches, which would be ONE for each match won.... this is really the way it is done in all sports.
It is good that Phil has the league broken down into tiers, so, maybe you should only get points when playing someone in YOUR tier....
just another thought.
soot straight and have fun...... |
