[Auto Donk]

great work by Sam all promo long......

excellently run/updated throughout..... probably the best ran promo I can recall in my six-seven years here......

[Auto Donk]

lookin at it from top to bottom, team central is going to beat the living sh*t out of this promo......


IT'S OVER!!!!

[RudyRuetigger]

disappointing showing by the USA West as a group

I guess most cannot afford internet though

u know the west has some issues when carseller would of qualified for the team

[Chipup]

Our top four had better results points wise than the other teams top four. Interesting that everyone is ignoring that fact.:

would be helpful if top 4 only played if sbr post odds yall are the weakest

east wins central 2 world 3 west 4th

[franklee168]

Quiet on the rail Kid!

[Chipup]

would be helpful if top 4 only played if sbr post odds yall are the weakest

east wins central 2 world 3 west 4th

The only way West comes in anything less than 2nd would be due scheduling. We have the worst of it time bracket wise. I see it West, East, Central, World.

[RudyRuetigger]

it has nothing to do with the overall list and it doesnt matter where they finish overall in the world cup finals

many good players in the west

but 785 qualified

that is like a world team qualifying when europe and canada had their own teams as well

[Mr KLC]

I remember before this started when people were saying the Central was going to be the weak region.

I mostly agree. Even if it makes it tougher on myself individually, I hope SBR in the future will just do Top 36 from US overall, no regard to region.

This geographical breakdown is obviously a bit unbalanced, and it further seems to be causing teams slight difficulty - with everyone on our team for instance being in the same time zone, all those who work are doing so at roughly same hours, making it quite tough to fill the schedule appropriately. If our team members were scattered throughout US, it would probably be much easier.

I get why they want to do the regional thing for a team event. Adding a sense of regional pride/rivalry gives it a little more meaning than if we were just 4 randomly created teams of 12. But I agree it's problematic for multiple reasons

I've said before an event that has a team draft at the end would be pretty fun (top 48 qualify period, top 4 scorers overall are the captains who draft among the remaining 44), and there's more of a sense of team pride when you're chosen that way than if the teams are just made by RNG. Idk though

regional pride?


lol

noone cares where you are from here




but yea, next team event should be top 60 since its a 6max table and do a fantasy draft of that



but even that i dont think should be allowed

i mean we dont want "teams" playing daily poker events

teams send a bad overall message in terms of a poker event

[blankoblanco]

I'm not saying it's a huge deal, but it's what makes the world cup the world cup

Like, East vs. West vs. Central. vs. World is a little more compelling than Team A vs. Team B vs. Team C vs. Team D, that's all I'm saying. In the grand scheme it doesn't really matter, but it's the "hook" of the event. And I think a fantasy draft event would be a fun hook, and ultimately more fair to everyone

But yeah, I'm also fine with not doing team events at all

I love the draft idea myself as do many others. I don't think it's likely to happen, but it would be a lot of fun!

[Auto Donk]

draft idea still one of the best..... four top points gatherers in qualifying round pick, draft style, out of the next 40 players, then give each manager a "pick" to use whoever he wants that didn't qualify in the top 44......

still like it......

[funnyb25]

Did RobertRipples qualify?

[RudyRuetigger]

draft is better than world cup


but we shouldnt like to think of poker in terms of "teams"


poker is every many for himself

It's why I love the world cup.

Creates more of a sense of community, and yes you are all right, I don't really care or anybody's playing from, but there's no event brings SBR players together, or more people on the rail rooting for team then this event

Why would svr care if it's true traffic to the site?

Sounds like a great idea to me

Do the draft!!
