[Sanka]

An edit update;
The three daily tourneys will now be 1PM, 8PM and 10PM eastern. The 1PM start time will give preference to all players out side of the 4 Americas time zones.

Thanks for the early tourney John, I was afraid I was going to have to give up sleeping for a month

20,000 PTS.....sick bro

im in

[Bob Loblaw]

So a max of 180 can play a day? I assume there will be a lot more than 180 that will want to play. Who gets first crack at registering a seat, first come first serve?

I think once you register and play you can't play again the rest of the day or week.

You can only play once a day but you can play more than once a week. John mentioned that if you win twice in a week you get extra points or something.

I'm not one to normally complain about who and who shouldn't be allowed to play in SBR contests/tourneys but in this case it would suck to lose out on a seat to someone who doesn't contribute anything to the forum.

[VegasVixen]

The 400,000 SBR points will be paid out at 100,000 a week. The 100,000 a week will be divided up and given to the 15 daily winners determined by where they finish in the Sat playoff.

1st does need to be higher. Something like this will be for the weekly winners. (15 weekly winners play Sat)
1. 20,000 + $500
2. 10,000 + $250
3. 7,500 + $150
4. 6,000 + $100
5. 5,500
6. 5,000
7. 4,600
8. 4,200
9. 4,000
10. 3,800
11. 3,700
12. 3,400
13. 2,500
14. 2,500
15. 2,500

Awesome, can't wait!!!

[madrian]

I'd like to be in but i dont know the ruls of entering..

[MadTiger]

somebody will find something to complain about i m sure, but sounds great 2 me

Cosign this.

[dikefale]

I dont wanna be egoistic, but John can you do something about registration. Because now tourneys gonna be huge so more and more people will try to attend tournaments. So i have some suggestion,can you do something for PRO guys that will secure us place at the tables.
For example 35/40 guys from 60 at tournament must be PRO or something like this. It would be shame if regular guys who play almost every time dont get on time to register and lose place for 1 of following tournaments.

[Flyers21]

Wow, great promo SBR!!!!!

[thisisit]

I love it when people bitch about the potential to get more free points or money! Ungrateful bastards

[Cuse0323]

Good idea.

Yes, we will do whatever it takes including expanding the tourney(including raising the prizes) to do our best to make sure every Pro can play. I'm stopping well short of guaranteeing a spot for every Pro because these tournaments are limited and a guy who shows up 10 mins before we start dealing may have to wait until the next day. But we will do our best.

[lemart5]

This needs to be a monthly contest

How soon will the tables be open? Will the opening time be announced ahead of time? Like if the tourney is at 8pm ET will the tables open at 7 and is going to be first come first served basis?

posters who backed the Falcons last night are disqualified from all poker going forward, fyi.

[SBR_John]

The plan is to have open registration begin about 24 hours in advance. So sometime on Monday evening we will put up the registration links for all 3 Tuesday tourneys. And yes, they are first come first serve. The one exception is the 1 pm tourney. We will allow any poster who is located outside of the Americas to play in that one even if it is full. So the answer is you may register for any of the 3 tourneys as soon as the registration links are posted which should be about 8pm the prior day.

Of course you can only play in one per day. If you register and don't show up you are out of luck, can't play that day. You can however, register and decide to play later and un register and then register for a later tourney.
