    2014 World Cup Fantasy Poker Contest

    Similar to last years contest (http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...r-contest.html ). Players' salaries will be listed on 7/27 at or before 10 AM EST. Posters must submit their team no later than 10 AM EST on 7/28. This year instead of spending dollars, players will be purchased for their respective price in pizza.

    -Posters may spend up to 8 slices of pizza hiring a roster of no more than 4 players.

    -No duplicate teams are allowed; the first poster to post a team combination in this thread will be the owner of it (assuming it's a valid team), and any subsequent posters trying to claim that team will be denied (although they may enter another team). The exception is that each combination of players may be played once in each of the two divisions (see below).

    -Players will score as follows:

    Winning a tournament: 2 points
    Second place in a tournament: 1 point
    Missing a tournament (not playing for a day): -1 point
    Team MVP: 3 points
    Field MVP: 3 points


    Team MVP and Field MVP will be determined by who wins the most points during the World Cup among the team and all players respectively. First tiebreaker will be whoever had most points during qualification; second tiebreaker will be by number of times bobbywaves folds during the cup, even or odd (essentially a massive randomly even or odd number).
    -Posters may comepete in one of two divisions: Big Baller () or Broke Dik Fuk (). The BB division requires a 100 point entry fee to be posted up to this post, while the BDF division requires a 2 point entry fee. When posting your team, you must also post whether you'll be competing in the BB division, the BDF division or both.

    -Posters may elect to play different teams in each division or they may play the same team in each division, provided nobody else has done so before them.

    -Winning teams are the ones with the most overall points. Prizes will be paid as follows:

    BB Division:

    Best team performance on any given day (Team and Field MVPs updated each day): 7.5% of prize pool

    1st place: 45% of prize pool
    2nd place: 20% of prize pool
    Last Place: 5% of pool
    Tie breaker for all prizes: earliest posted team wins

    BDF division:

    Same structure as BB division, but all points awards are paid out at 2 points per day until prize amount paid in full. Alternatively, winners may opt for a 50/50 payment option, receiving 50% of their winnings immediately with the other 50% bet on red in roulette in the SBR Casino, receiving the winnings if a red number hits.

    Additionally, the BB and BDF divisions will have an amount added to the pool equal to 1 points for every time bobbywaves folds preflop. Given his past tournament history, going to have to cap this amount at 5,000 points (otherwise I might get buried!)

    All rules will be interpreted and decided by me. My decision can only be overturned by a posted majorty of opinions from the contest council (wulfman14, darkghost and Sarunas). As with any TDB contest, point stiffs (posters who have an existing loan which they aren't paying on, as determined by their lender) are excluded from participating. Additional restrictions may apply. Void where prohibited.

    ballerhollic2, as part of my fantasy due diligence process, I'd like to know if you know, or are related to, ballerhollic. (the original, i guess).... given the question he asked about two-pair flushes, I'm concerned he may have a crack addiction.....

    I say we do a Worst team fantasy contest as well, for which i pick myself, wussywaves, runtigger, and dare.

    If this contest materializes, i'll sit out the whole world cup, and let wussy and runtigger do their thing (not win any points), and bank on dare playing like the weak euro he is, and i'll have that contest sewed up!!!!

    I don't know him and am not related but I myself have a similar question. For example, If I was dealt 8d 8d and my opponent had 5s 6s. Lets say I raised pre and he called. Flop came 667, turn came another 7. River was a King so the board was 6677K. Does my 3 pair with the 8d 8d beat his 5s 6s? I know he has three 6's and the pair of 7's from the board but that can't be stronger than my pair of 8s I started with plus the pair of 6s and 7s I picked up.

    Being dealt 8d, 8d is impossible in Holdem'. No such thing as 3 pair. My full house beats your 2 pair, you lose.

    lol..... given that ballerholic the original had 3d3d, and you had 8d8d, and your question is nearly identical crack-headed, I do believe a call to Kockn and the mods that run this site might be warranted. lol... full house beats your two pair..... wow..... kick this guy, and his original id, ballerhollic, off the site already........

    No need to wait. There's no way these bonus tourney's today or tomorrow, count towards World Cup.

    Yeah, the schedule seems a bit uncertain...I don't think SBR would start the Cup tournaments tomorrow without a little more advanced notice on official team rosters. When SBR releases teams, I'll release prices.

    Evidently twinkies cost a lot more than Pizza Hut :P

    Poor 4uk, getting placed in the Pizza Hut category and having his name misspelled.


    Djohns is very overpriced
