    Looks good. Though I would say the tri points for the top 4 places are way too over-inflated and is over-rewarding the luck boxes in one category. It should be more like 80, 90, 110, 150. And Black Jack should much much less value then the other two as well. The person who gets lucky in an hour of black jack gets more points than someone who grinded out a 5th place finish in both 4 months of daily betting and poker, but loses to the rigged BJ software?

    1. Must be SBR Pro or have an application submitted by March 20th at 9AM ET to be eligible for championship prizes.
    2. SBR reserves the right to modify details.
    I got a quick question. Can I still participate in this each day and earn points ect, and like towards the end of January upgrade to PRO Status? Would the points I would get while non pro status count towards the Championship? Or do only the results when I was PRO Count.

    Are there going to be satellites to get into the poker championship like before, or are you just making the cutoff at a certain number?

    I don't think anyone has ever lost playing basic strategy 4-1 blackjack on SBR. If someone has please post it. The BJ is a chance to win some serious points. I understand there is luck involved as well but if you are in strong position after the poker and capping contest you will have a good chance to win $4k...and have some fun along the way.

    No satellites, it is just the last poker tourney of the series but with added importance as a guy will be able to improve his standing if he does well.

    You would just show up to play those. We will be doing the usual weekly poker leaderboards showing everyone's tourney winnings.

    I tried to sign up for Bet365 but I don't see where United States is located under location. Are Americans not welcomed there? If so, can I still play in this contest?

    At the end of the Jan 7th - April 6th period the top 100 (based on the SBR poker points won) will receive TRI-points according to the chart. I understand correctly?

    Edit by SBR Lou: Yes that's correct.

    OK, no one ever accused me of being the sharpest knife in the drawer, so . . . am I right in thinking that every entrant is likely to end up playing in a different number of poker events over the course of two months?

    That's OK.

    Think of it in terms of the poker leaderboards we would update weekly. It's sorted by the # of point winnings over those tourneys. That's the same way the Triathlon poker will be scored. So, Jack_Matz who was in first after the last four month schedule wouldve took down the 200-tri points.

    Cant wait for this Contest! It's going to be sweet!

    Umm, for the 1 Hour of Black Jack. Do we play in the Casino for 1hour with our own points? Or will there be some sort of freeplay game we join or something.
