Re: Belterra Tournament?
They have in fact started. I didn't get a chance to play but here's a report from another message board I belong to:

I played last week and there may have been 50-75 people hoping to get in.
All players involved in a live game at 5:30 when registration begins, have first option to enter the tournament. They stop play one table at a time for those players to register, after all live tables have had a chance to enter, there is a line to enter(this was the 50-75 people) they took 10 people out of this line for the tournament (I was 6th). There is a max of 80 entries, and it will fill every week.
There is a prize fund of $3200, they paid $1120 1st -$200 10th. $800 of each weeks buy-in is held back for the finals. Tournaments will run for 13 weeks with the top 3 finishers each week qualifying for the finals, you may only qualify 1 time, but may continue to play each week, if a player finishes in the top 3 that has already qualified, the next highest placing non-qualified player will advance to the finals, i.e... 4th, 5th...
Each player start play with $1000 in chips, with blinds starting at $25-$50. Blinds go up every 20 min. $25-$50, $50-$100, $100-$200, $300-$500 (not a misprint) $500-$1000...
Things went a little rough the first week, but I would think it will get better as the weeks progress.
