Poll: Intested?
Greetings again,
Here's the basics: A heads-up tournament begins March 8th in Calgary. $250,000 CND goes to the winner, $125,000 2nd place (on down to 17th place if I remember correctly). 128 entrants max at $5K per seat. To enter, you have 3 choices: 1) Buy your seat at Ticketmaster. 2) Play a qualifier at 6 B&M casinos in Canada 3) Play online at a custom-built site who's only purpose is to service this event, and then go dark after the last seat is given away. I've asked parts of this before, so if this seems familiar, forgive me. As the designer for this site, I'm doing my best to address any issues of credibility while also making sure we're offering a good deal for everyone. The online details: Our site is going to guarantee the winner of each tournament a $7,500K package deal (including flight, hotel and tournament entry). To enter, it's $50 + $0 on the site and 128 players max per tournament as well. (we might even run a few $100 + $0 tournaments if folks are interested for 64 players max). We need at least 16 people to start each tournament, so it's first come, first serve when the tournaments are announced. You may only have to beat 4 people with your $50 fee in order to get a $7,500 prize. As I mentioned, this site is a custom-built site only for this tournament, so will be no ring games for play or cash on this site. It's strickly for heads-up play (there are head's up S&G's so you can test the game if you wish). I'd be happy to give more details if anyone has questions before answering the polls below. Sorry for the long post, just trying to give you as much detail as I can to get some informed poll replies. |

Re: Poll: Intested?
Hmm...I'm skeptical of how succesful this tournament is going to be. I suspect there will be a lot of overlay. Furthermore, I suspect that via satelites with uber overlay is the only way people are going to be able to be willling to enter a "random" tournament. But I'm game. I hope 20 year olds can play at this casino in Canada.

You mentioned a random tournament? Might I ask what you mean by that?
