Re: Stars FPP --> Satellite --> Cash
As of today this would work. Who knows if it will last. The 3600 FPP's look like the closest thing to direct RB to me, just don't go oh-fer-twenty or you'll wish you took the 24" Dell [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Another option would be to play as many of the Sunday events as possible. |

Re: Stars FPP --> Satellite --> Cash
Yeah, I figure that I can buyin to the $500 event once every week or two with how many FPP's I will be earning. I'm just not too overly confident in my MTT play at this point..but that may turn out to be the best route.

Re: Stars FPP --> Satellite --> Cash
currently you can unregister from MTT's that you qualify for and keep the T$ for SNG type play.
But since it's a 'ticket' to one of these bigger events we can't know yet if this will work for the FPP-rewards stuff. I too will be interested to see how this works regarding unregsitering for T$. how high and how many SNG's would you have to play to make it the Supernova? If you play as 100+9 SNG's then I think you would get 54 VRP's per tourney. If you are 4-tabling these then that's about 200 VRP's per hour and a half perhaps (SNG's are longer structures on Stars than other sites...unless you play the turbos they have now). 4-tabling the 3/6 or 5/10 limit should get more VRP's than that. I just don't see it being very easy to rach super-nova or earn points via SNG's...but maybe I'm wrong. for 'sort of' real cash options: there's also the $500 and $2500 'travel' voucher as well as the $1000 Nieman-Marcus certificate. Perhaps they will other gift-card stuff from Amazon, Best Buy, WalMart, etc in the future (stuff that to me would come closer to working 'like' cash). I expect that if Stars works out a deal with one of these companies then they get some sort of rebate (stars pays $95 for each $100 gift-card at WalMart when bought in bulk...and then sells them for $100 in FPP value....also WalMart gets marketing exposure just by having their logo and link up on the FPP store). |

Re: Stars FPP --> Satellite --> Cash
What the OP means is not to use tickets to enter $215 Sunday tourneys, but use FPPs earned to play FPP S & G satellites to the same Sunday tourney, and then unregister (if he qualifies) and get T$. Subsequently using T$ to play regular S & G for money. That does seem the best scheme for one who is S & G specialist.
Some calculation assuming Supernova status and playing $20+$2 money S & G and 1,500 FPP S & G satellites. - 1,500 FPP satellites yield 1.6c per FPP (9 players for $215 award) - $20 +$2 S & G gives 10 FPP x 3.5 = 35 FPPs - 35 FPPs value is 56c - 56c for $2 fee is 28% RB Not counting Supernoval freerolls. |
