In Response To: Victor Ashkenazi--IT ISN'T FAIR!! (Phil Simborg)

This thread, however, is whether or not we can have a separate system that rates the Open players based on their performance in both the Open and Masters events.

For a ranking based on performance (that is, placing) in both Master and Open events, you'd have to decide how many points to award to players who place in Masters events, relative to points awarded in Open events. But here is a ranking for performance (placing) in Masters events only in 2012. I've awarded points according to the table that follows the ranking list.

Name	Points
Bill Phipps	40
Howard Markowitz	23.875
Victor Ashkenazi	23.5
Justin Nunez	20
Matt Cohn-Geier	18
Karen Davis	16
Nick Mourtos	16
Ray Fogerlund	13.5
Matvey Natanzon	13
Kit Woolsey	10
Dion Hogan	8
Carter Mattig	8
Ed O'Laughlin	8
Jeremy Bagai	7.875
Malcolm Davis	7.75
Harvey Gillis	7.25
Paul Weaver	6.5
Gregg Cattanach	6
Dmitriy Obukhov	6
Stuart Thomson	5.5
Mark Antranikian	5
Mike Corbett	4
Tobias Hellwag	4
Jeb Horton	4
Neil Kazaross	4
Nick Maffeo	4
Alfred Mamlet	4
Bill Riles	4
Alvaro Savio	4
Mike Senkiewicz	4
Drew Giovanis	3.25
Bill Robertie	2.75
Bob Koca	2.25
Steve Brown	2
Gerry Tansey	2
Kazuhiko Yotsushiko	2

Masters Event	Players in the event	Points for 1st	Points for 2nd	Points for 3rd/4th
Sunshine	8	4	2	0
Cal State	31	15.5	7.75	3.875
Las Vegas	16	8	4	2
Illinois	8	4	2	0
Pittsburgh (LD)	32	16	8	4
Golden Gate	16	8	4	0
Wisconsin	8	4	2	0
Minnesota	4	2	1	0
Michigan	32	16	8	4
Los Angeles	40	20	10	5
Chicago	32	16	8	4
Florida	8	4	2	0
Atlanta	11	5.5	2.75	0
Nevada	13	6.5	3.25	0
Ohio	4	2	0	0
Central States	16	8	4	0
34th Pittsburgh	18	9	4.5	2.25
New Mexico	16	8	4	0
US Open	16	8	4	0
New York Metro	32	16	8	0

(Players in event includes rebuys, points awarded are not "calibrated" to other tournament events, and only placers named at the chicagopoint.com results pages got points.)

Note that only two players, Howard Markowitz and Victor Ashkenazi, make the Top 10 in both this ranking of Masters performance and in the final ABT standings based on main event performance.
