SBR World Poker Cup standings, WSOP Moneyboard

[downsouth]

Please use a way to pick your wildcard other than posts count. Why not let the top scorer on each team pick one player.

[sinmiedo]

Hey Sin! As I understand the top 8 (based on the 1-2-3 finishes) of each May/June Satelite tourneys plus 1 separate pick by SBR for each world location (Canada, US, Europe, World) will play in this ryder cup format.

Not sure what the game scenarios will be but that is how the teams will be made.

I think you are in the top 8 now, so keep it up bud!

Cheers.

thanks ....so, the final tournament is not going to hapen then.

[Fang-Banger]

This Ryder cup and the "final" WSOP ME tourney are separate.

The Satelites are just that, satelites to the final tourney on June 25.

Also, the satelites are separately being used to grade the players into Ryder cup teams.

The WSOP tourney is happenning on June 25th.

Correct. Ryder cup starts after wsop final. They are just using these satellites to determine who is on teams

This could be very profitable to the top scorer!

I'd go for this.

Hey guys! There is plenty of poker left!!! Yea if you are gunning for team USA you need to get in there and have a couple of strong showings. But seriously ANYONE can make a Ryder Cup team at this point!

True as long as you are one of the listed eight otherwise you get no chance is the way I understand it.

Thadd is a SBR moderator thereby employee or am I wrong

[BeerDog99]

and what are the prizes

I had a quick look and I could not find the original thread anouncing this. From what I remember, it seems like a lot of SBR points up for grabs...

The listed eight have the most points right now, people can overtake them if they do well enough, not rocket science. Thad isn't an employee.

[goldstein077]

Very close field so far in U.S. Know of several people right behind in standings at a 1000 points. (including myself)

[sinmiedo]

finally i find the prizes info . here it is

[COLOR=#000000 !important]We will basically pick teams similar to the real Ryder Cup.

The final standings from the WSOP qualifying event will be used to select the official Ryder Cup team. So if you have not qualified for the SBR WSOP main event; play harder!!!

The SBR qualifying event will rank players 1 to 500. We will sort by IP address and extend invitations. The prizes are as follows:
1st place team will win 50,000 poker points.
2nd place team will win 25,000 poker points
3rd place team will win 14,000 poker points
4th place team will win 9,000 poker points

Each team will have 9 players.[/COLOR]

Believe me, I have been trying.

[illmatick]

need two firsts for a spot.

[Slainte]

I thought it will be easier but i was wrong, still plenty of time one tournament win could change everything.

[katstale]

I need to read over in poker more often. Nice offer and concept SBR John.

[wtt0315]

It certainly did. You're in 5th place for Team USA with 1250pts.

Thanks. I was having a hard time finding it too.

There will also be a nice long sleeve shirt given away to everyone who makes the team.

[Roxxyfish]

Lou I have 500 pts right now with 2 second places, does that fit for the World Team ?
or do i have to play for Europe ?

[30K Millionaire]

USA is definitely the strongest division. I could've been in 2nd or 3rd for any other team.
USA! USA!

[Ninersnut]

Maybe some bubble standings?

[mikejamm]

One thing for sure, you're already at a fuk'in disadvantage if you're trying to make the US team. It's certainly not fair because a player trying for the world team needs less points to make it vs the points needed for team USA. The US and Canada does have the majority of players, plus these teams will be stacked, putting any other Ryder cup team at a disadvantage from the onset.

A better approach would be to use a lottery system to choose players for each country no matter where the fuk you are from. Nobody is "originally" from here anyway and this is a "mock" Ryder cup poker team. This would balance out the playing field and make for better competition. You've already got guys asking to be put in a different country category anyway. So why not mix the shit up and give all Pro SBR site supporting members, a fair chance to get in on this?

8 fuk'in players only for each team, with an alternate? So 36 players get to split 97,000 pts. out of all the poker players on here? This is royal flush ass fuk'in if I ever seen one! You could easily have 20 to 25 player per team, by adjusting team and singles players elimination formats eventually getting down to the final 8 from each country.

Man I must be running bad in the tourneys! I own most of the hacks on the leaderboard in the cash games
