    No doubt, it wouldn't surprise me if you guys ended up crashing the servers. We expect more folks in line to register than there are at the Yankee Stadium ticket window for the post-season.

    Not complaining, I am happy anyway this happens, but any chance the later tourneys can have a later registration time?

    Lou,


    What do you think of something like this? I posted this in the thread linked below but I don't think you have seen it yet.

    "I like the current way it is setup with the qualifying spot dropping down to the next person, but I also wouldn't mind seeing something in additional where if every time you get 1st place in one of the satellites you get another chip stack. So let's say you get 1st place three times in the satellite tournaments, then come June 25th you should get a 3x size chip stack. SBR wants to try and send the best poker player right? So why not give a little advantage to those who get 1st several times in the satellites?

    The only problem with this is I don't know if the SBR software can be programmed to give people different starting chip stacks at the start of a tourney and they probably don't want to bother with it."

    This is SBR, I don't care what other sites do for a WSOP entry, I like my idea as it gives the people who win multiple satellites a slight advantage in the main June 25th event. How can you not like this idea? Beerdog99 in the thread I linked too liked it as well, so Cuse I bet you're in the minority....btw the Syracuse Orange can suck it

    they used to have a freeroll like this on Microgaming where anyone who plays a raked hand could play but those who had more raked hands got more chips

    Yeah and how credible did microgaming end up being? Not going to clog up this thread arguing about poker standards. Thanks for the shot SBR.

    Beerdog as your backup, Nittany? Enough said.

    Why have the 2 different times like this? Why not open up all tables at 9:00AM EDT?

    Is it because the tables fill up too soon? Well if you make a late registration at 1:00PM EDT the tables also fill up while the rest of us are at work.

    Why not make it first-come, first-served?

    You guys at work can get the left overs when you come home, I prefer SBR to keep on favoring the unemployed people like me

    Yup, simply pay a 15-point entry fee via the software when registering. Best of luck!

    You would have to be present before the 7th hand is dealt to avoid getting tossed.

    No, we're advertising to poker players... but with the recent law changes, that might be saying the same thing.

    i would have prefer a higher entry fee for non pro ( let's say 150 )since the avalnche of freeloaders willl deprive the loyals of SBR of making a better showing.
    Just my oppinion, because i still very gratefull of this site.

    Agree. These brokedonks probably couldn't become pro even if they did happen to win.
