    in any case this event is always fun and i will try to play it as often as i can. those 4 handed tables with all yur fellow team mates watching you is pressure filled and lots of fun. good luck all.
    It would be a miracle if Team World even finds 12 guys to qualify. Who is going to play to win poker points that can't be used to buy anything?

    pavy there are def more then 12 world players but a few of the top world poker players cant buy anything from the store. if they dont play in this then shitty poker players will make team world. lol like after the top 3.

    I just play for fun as it is too boring to monitor the share prices.

    The other countries all get a break anyways, because Team USA will have Jordan stuck on the bench for that contest. But I will still slap you fools in the dailies .

    I dont like the format, but it is what it is. Its just a huge advantage if your playing anywhere outside the US.

    I'm definitely going to play this year.

    And world posters can definitely use their points in the store. We get the best thing of all: sportsbook cash.

    You indeed have to sign up with the SBR link but luckily there are other books available than just those.

    I'm thinking the US will probably do just fine this year. But as always the World team will kick their ass I'm sure. That's the only team I'm concerned about.

    Why is it so long? Cut the prize package by 1/3 and make it a month and a half contest.

    End of day August 16th. This is the end of the qualification period. Only SBR Pros will receive the team match passwords.

    1. Must be an SBR Pro to represent a team. Reminders will be sent during qualification period.

    My times are upside down for this but it sounds like fun. I hope it is easier to qualify for Team World since I am not so good poker player.

    The Tiebreaker 2 and 2A make it pretty apparent that there's only one person who gets the Ipad 3.

    Correct, there's only one "Team MVP".

    Also, if iPad has a newer version by the time we're finished, the prize is of course whatever the latest available standard model is.
