Many wrong there, lol.
The KO leaderboard counts the won chips:
The Tournament Points leaderboard counts the busts:
The Tournament Points are nowhere to find, most players have because this 0 points, only the 3 winners goes to leaderboard.
Sue wrote me she reported it to tech team, i hope they can fix all problems.

wasn’t aware, marketing problem too 
no announcement or banner ?
I don’t worry about the KO LB, because I think its more important to extract chips in tournament’s, Sit N Go’s, then to play for KO bounties. In my experience, players that try to get bounties, usually play more like maniacs, making a lot of bad calls preflop and postflop, out of position, in early position, just to try to get lucky, and get bounties. It’s more important, and more profitable play chips wise to not try to get bounties, and instead try to extract more chips thru going to value town, semi bluffing, proper betsizing, pot control, etc.
Now if a player does that, and is a good player, then sometimes won’t get a lot of bounties, KO’s, and sometimes will get a semi lot of bounties, KO’s, sometimes, inconsistently, but will have a higher ITM%, and winrate%, and ROI%, by not specifically trying to get a lot of bounties, KO’s.
Bounty, KO MTT’s are extremely, ultimately soft, but EXTREMELY HIGH VARIANCE. Because of that, I like to play a lot of them with very good bankroll management, and exploit those who focus only on the bounties, KO’s, etc, over the very long term.
So that’s why KO LB doesn’t mean anything to me.
everyone was just wondering what you thought about this
I enjoy this promotion. The only downside is I’ve had tables where a few people are going all in at the beginning every hand to get KO’s. I don’t know how you could deter people from doing that. When I do get in on a table where people are not playing crazy it’s fun though.

Our annual Halloween Harvest SnG week usually attracts a good following.
I like this sort of game type, because there are contrasting strategies. Get the chips in and try to win Knockouts, or maximize tournament points and play fewer games.
I accept that ‘Harvesting’ some Knockouts in the early game still calls for some sort of sensible strategy as the game progresses. Its not a straight forward top 3 finish once you have a big stack.
The Leaderboards are cumulative, so volume is rewarded either way. Has anyone ever decided to get top spot in either LB, and then switch tack to build points in the other LB?
Would these SnG be valid at a higher buy in? 20,000 or even higher? Perhaps the fun is the low stake 2,500 free-for-all factor?
Should they be changed to Pot Limit or Mixed Limit to try and stymie the Knockout Hunters?
- Best or First Leaderboards?
- Dailly instead of weekly?
FWIW, There have been 400 9 max sng so far this year (part way through Day 4 of 7) with over 1,100 players

I was wondering about a first place leaderboard but I still think people would go all in to try and get a huge chip lead. Now that I had some time to think about it I actually think the best thing is to limit people to how many times they can play a day. Somewhere around 5 to 10 times a day. Then you truly would get the best players winning the leaderboards not the people who simply play all day and night.
