IDK how much this matters to anyone, but FWIW I think 100k MTTs might now belong in the “Medium” rather than the “High” category. My opinion is based largely on 2 factors:
- there is a noticeable difference in average level of play between 100k and 250k+
- now that there are daily 2.5M and 5M MTTs, it feels weird to have those tournaments in the same category as a 100k. there are many players who compete in 100k MTTs who will NEVER (at least, not anytime soon) enter one of these larger tournaments; many of them don’t even compete in 1M tournaments.
For me, a leaderboard is intended to reflect who has performed the best among a pool of similar competitors (or at least, competitors who enter similar events). At this point, 100k bears so little similarity to the most expensive tournaments that it feels like a bit of a misnomer to say they’re all just “High” buy-ins.
Then again, there are still many, many players on Replay for whom 100k is quite a lot of chips, so I can understand the other side of this question. That said, maybe it’s also not really fair to players who play a lot of 100k tournaments to be pitted against those playing 1M-5M tournaments in the LB race, since they’d need to win so many 100ks to even crack the leaderboard that it becomes almost trivially impossible to do so (given that buy-in size is part of the LB points equation).
Just putting it out there “for your consideration” I guess
