Fantasy go league: rules, registration and results!

What is the total universe of eligible events? For example, all tournaments listed on Go News? Or is there some other list?

I'm using Mr Kin's go news. I'm not sure yet what if anything will be added. Personally I'm more interested in the results from slower-time matches, but I also feel that more games overall will make the fantasy league more interesting. hyperpape pointed out that adding some events could shift the value of certain players, especially since the points are based on a set list. I feel this is all still a kind of trial run, anyway.

I'll reiterate: if there's a particular event you want to see (or don't want to see), let me know!

So the women's events are included, and say Rui in Korea or Xie in Japan only cost a dollar, right (typing feverishly into his excel sheet)?

Oh, thanks for the catch - I had him mixed up with Qiu Jun (was constantly editing and re-editing my picks).

This is great. I'm already excited about the semifinals of the Samsung cup (which don't count) and seeing my players advance to the finals (which do). Hear, hear for Won Sungjin (on my team) winning game one against Chen Yaoye (not)!

I thought about trying to include women's events, but they so rarely make it into open events that it would be essentially like running two seperate leagues. If I did add women's events I would probably have to assign point values to the women pros to prevent people like ez4u from gaming the system

Thank you Laman, I see now where we've gotten confused, I think. Only the events in the first post will count for the league (in the section "upcoming events and points"). I was talking about the possibility of adding more events to that list, but I guess it sounded like I was counting everything on Mr Kin's already.

I've updated the first post to clarify. Communication is fraught with peril.

Ok, I finally got around to writing a script to check everyone's submissions. Araban, Barrauss, & jordus: you made some arithmetic errors I think. Here are the point expenditures I have for everyone so far:
