FPL Pontoon - As last seasons originator of this game appears to be no longer with us, I've taken the liberty of taking ownership for this season as I liked it.

The aim of the game is to be the first person to hit exactly 21 points to win the hand. When this happens scores will be allocated as below. The Pontoon champion will be the winner of the season long league. The league table will be updated after each hand in the third post.


How to Play

Pontoon has a maximum of 5 cards so each hand will last a maximum of 5 gameweeks

Pick a player each gameweek and your scores are added together each week

If you go over 21 points you are 'bust' and start the same hand again next week with zero points

Once a hand has been won, everyones points are reset to zero and the next hand begins.



Scoring

Banker pays out on 21 (10pts), 20 (8pts), 19 (6pts), 18 (4pts). Any total below 18 scores nothing.

Bonuses

5 card trick : 10 pts
Pontoon : 10 points (scoring 21 in two gameweeks)

Penalties

Going Bust = -10pts


The Rules

The deadline for choosing a player is the same as the Gameweek deadline.

You must declare an entry for each new hand - anyone from a previous hand will not automatically be carried over

You may only choose a player once in each hand.

If you fail to choose a player during a hand, you score 0 for that week.

If your player scores a negative score, this is taken off your total.

Should no-one hit pontoon after 5 cards then points are allocated on the final hand scores.

You can pick any player from the FPL list - they do not have have to be in your FPL team. No captain rule in this game.

No Aftertiming!!!!!

If choices could be made as shown below and when making your selection please quote the previous one to give a single list for each gameweek. You can change your mind as many times as you like - I'll use the final list once the gameweek deadline has passed.


GW01 - Hand 01 Card 01

Moist von Lipwig - Rooney


I will keep the running stats for each hand in the second post, and will update the thread title with info on when games are open and shut.

***************

Game to commence in GW 01. If anyone has any suggestions for rules/tweaks before we start then feel free to post them.

I was thinking by the way you worded it that it should be "don't" but it would have been rude to question it ;)

I've been thinking about that, kind of doesn't make sense when you're starting off does it when the ideas its a punishment. I think I'll scrap it and your last weeks just rolls over. no matter what number i think of applying it to theres a score combo thats possble that will help you out.

I think you might be better off punishing them by giving them 0. Therefore everyone around them can catch up if they are leading, and even if they are not leading, it doesn't allow them to get closer to the target...
