Is it that you just don't get it? Robber points out the inequity to an American poster trying to make Team America. And your response is that the American team has not done well -- this justifies making it impossible to make Team America? Guess what -- if I cannot make Team America, I don't give a fuk whether those individuals win any points or not. What difference does that make? Robber, I, and all the other American posters only ask for a fair shake. Why do you insist on denying that?

not even worth itComment -
Well, Mike, it makes me feel a little more useful. If we don't keep telling SBR over and over again when they are being unfair - they may not see the problem. I guess if they see the problem but don't care, then that is even a bigger problem, isn't it? ( I wonder if SBR would care if it started to lose the interest of a lot of Americans? )Comment -
isn't it top 12 from each region? only top 10 is listed.....Comment -

Not fairComment -
The only posters that never had a chance at beating their foreign posting counterparts are the 90% of American posters with no chance of finding a seat on team usa -- while seats are almost automatically handed out to the rest of the world. SBR where is your sense of fairplay?Comment -
the biggest problem is its 4.5 months as most have said, and the final prizes arent even worth the effort of playing everyday....yes its free to pro basically but 4.5 months of play for 1 Ipad OR 8500 pts (basically $250) is not a big deal for that length of time and effort...hell its almost 1/2 a year! LOL
also agree my PRO is up in 1 month as well, and with pts not worth 1/2 what they were and prices are doing nothing but going UP in the store while pts always stay the sameLast edited by 5mike5; 04-29-13, 09:33 AM.Comment -
My connection is so bad and my times limited as I am upside down here time wise. What group would I be in? I am Philippines. World or Europe? Hope World!! ha haComment -
#10 of US 1410 points
#10 of World 110 points
#10 of Europe 200 points
SBR Forum..do you see a problem with this?
So basically you have 100 guys from US competing for 10 spots and 12 guys from Europe or World competing for 10 spots.
Please change the format before you lose all your US posters from poker tables.Comment -
Out of all the poker tourneys made... this is the worst for any US resident. It's common sense not to play.Comment -
Umm, Gary --- you do realize that all these high point leaders being from America only makes it more difficult for you to make the team and win any points, don't you? Whatever points won by whomever represents Team USA does not get spread around to everyone from the USA. This "great job men" only means no points possible for you or me or 90% of the other Americans here --- while anyone from the other " regions " gets points handed to them. I am not sure whether or not you were being sarcastic here, but if so, perhaps the "great job" should be awarded to SBR for taking fair play into consideration over the last two years.Comment -
but i will say i have made alot of money compared to the $200 fee from being a PRO this yearComment -
good post -- just one or two things here.
First, I believe it is far more than 100 USA players.
And second , you say 10 spots -- it's actually 12. Now why would the leader board only show top 10 instead of at least 12 and ideally maybe 20 so we can see who is close? Could it be that World , and maybe Europe, doesn't yet have 12 with positive scores?Comment -
The whole thing is too easy. SBR is shooting for simple. Don't have to think of anything new. Just rehash an old contest and let it go on autopilot throughout the summer, then when it's close to football season and traffic climbs back up start with another contest to peak interest. They don't even have to send out updates for this contest until the 2nd part of the contest. It encompasses the entire summer so hopefully it will grab those Pro memberships who expire in the summer months and encourage them to renew because of the time they've already invested in the World Cup contest. Nothing is really going on after the NBA Playoffs anyway.
The only way to change the world cup is to not play it. The catch 22 in that is that once people stop playing it creates immense value for those that are playing.
SBR isn't changing shit now. All they have to do is listen to people like me bitch about it and let their contest easily coast through the summer.Comment -
I was asking that they eliminate the World Cup format about 2 months ago.
SBRFORUM, it is not too late to change things around a bit. Even this wouldnt be totally fair, but you could create a second US team. There should no problem with playing 5 handed tables instead of 4 handed tables. You wouldnt have to change the overall pay structure if that would be too hard. Just give last place team nothing but a carseller4 badgeComment -
Ofcourse it sucks but sbr really isnt killing it in the ratings department.
they started too big.
shouldve offered a pizza for 1000 points and gradually lowered it to 500 instead of starting at whatever it was, below 200?, and raising it to 260Comment -
Plus this new fuk'in format sucks balls too! 8 minute blinds and only paying out the top 12! Yet they raised the fuk'in entry free to 10pts! At least when you were paying out the top 20 you gave a chance for 8 more players to earn some points and created more action at the ring games! Got back to the original format of paying out 20 and raise the blinds to 10 minutes! Would that fuk'in kill you sbr? This shit is about as ignorantly stupid as it can get! No wonder players are leaving here in droves!

Love the format SBR.

Most real poker tournaments only pay out top 10-15% of the entrants. You still don't even have to make top 25% in these to min-cash, and sometimes the dailies don't even fill up to the 40 person max. It's not exactly a winner-take-all format...Plus this new fuk'in format sucks balls too! 7 minute blinds and only paying out the top 12! Yet they raised the fuk'in entry free to 10pts!

Could you honestly even complain about anything else?? Every time I read one of your posts you're whining about something. No one is forcing you to play, nor does it cost you anything.Comment -
what the fukk is dominicksComment -
wait a minute after reading all the post here how the fuk does Wulf play for team World???? He calls everyone out and says he is in NYC and will fight anyone and anything that comes his way. Yet he is either full of shit and not living in NYC and is a liar or is just using a VPN that is not legit? SBR any comment on that? Is he just a liar or is he out of the country?Comment -

I'm stretching a bit here, but team world would cash in points for sportsbook cash. SBR then gets money when they lose, so really giving 1 point to the world members is the equivalent of giving a fraction of a point to US members.
SBR's best interest not to add US spots, I really hope this isn't the rationale though.Comment
