Next in place would qualify
Nothing
User would get additional starting chips for the championship
Poll: Multiple winners of the satellite..what should happen
With three places in each heat there will be forum members that will qualify more than once: What should Happen?
1. Player keeps the betpoints and the qualifying spot goes down to next in place that does not have a spot.
2. Nothing...the spot is left empty
3. The qualifier's starting chip stack is adjusted to reflect the number of times he/she has qualified...3 qualifications = 3x starting stack...
Leave it. Keeps field smaller

Also, the other two options are HIGHLY undesirable.
2nd place is not rewarded in the finale, why should in be rewarded in the satellite?
I like the current way it is setup with the qualifying spot dropping down to the next person, but I also wouldn't mind seeing something in additional where if every time you get 1st place in one of the satellites you get another chip stack. So let's say you get 1st place three times in the satellite tournaments, then come June 25th you should get a 3x size chip stack. SBR wants to try and send the best poker player right? So why not give a little advantage to those who get 1st several times in the satellites?
The only problem with this is I don't know if the SBR software can be programmed to give people different starting chip stacks at the start of a tourney and they probably don't want to bother with it.

LOL, I guess that I am the only one currently with the opinion to award the consistent top finisher in each satellite with an advantage at the final tourney.
I would think people would agree that if there is one member that gets more than one first place finish (and maybe mutiples), they might be the better player and therefore might have a better chance at at wining $$ in the WSOP.
To me, I think this would start to even out the luck factor that people have argued about. It doesn't change the luck factors, it just gives the consistent winner an advantage to even out luck issues.
Just my opinion.
I agreed with you, but you probably didn't see my post since I posted it 1 minute before you posted yours, you got ghosted.
LOL, ya I saw that. Can you change your vote on the poll?
I think it should be left open.It would give repeat winners an edge because it would be smaller field.I dont think 2nd place should be rewarded.
With top 3 in each satellite advancing I can see someone winning 4 spots easily
Thats a good point that I did not address. I think 1-2-3 should get appropriate advantage based on their position.
An example idea (at least for illustration) would be for every satellite (extra) 1st place finish, you get 100chips added, 2nd place would get 75chips and 3rd would get 50chips.
Maybe an upper limit could be set but I don't think it will be overly crazy to not limit it and see if anybody can runaway with the satellites and then hold the final tourney. Almost like leading the WSOP wire to wire idea.
Anyways, my key point is that extra places in the final tourney should give that person an advantage.
If nobody agrees and SBR does not implement this, I suggest as others have, nothing should be done so that the field in the final tourney is made smaller (an advantage to those that have done well in the satellites.
Cheers.
i think if someone qualifies multiple times the spot should be left open to award those
The more entries into the final the best chances to take opponesnts out of the field.
so, i m looking forward to play every day and try to qualifie at least once.
Option 1 seems reasonable.
FREE whatever rule all good to me
Assuming anyone who finishes in the top three multiple times is a top player , then he already has an advantage in the final - he is a top player.
I think the reward of lowering the number in the final field and the extra points for those top 3 finishes is enough.
I vote for #2. All start the final with same chips.
When I read the rules, I didn't see this. Did I miss this somewhere?
edit: i see it now - but not in the rules in the main thread's first post.

I don't like dropping it to the next person down. You should have to win to get in.
I also don't like the idea of some people having 4x the chip stack.
I'd suggest a middleground, where multiple winners get additional chips, but limit it. If the starting stack is 5,000 for a normal player, maybe make it 7,000 if you won twice or 8,000 if you won three times.
I don't think SBR would ever go for this, though.
It's in the main thread. If the winner of a satellite already has an entry, it goes to second place, or third (if top two are already in), etc.
thanks yisman. so some of what I said above doesn't apply. sorry.
i agree 100% with yisman
you should have to earn the ticket.
not place 4th 5th etc and get lucky the guys ahead of you already earned a ticket
4th gets 4th only or not fair
Here is how it should work and i hope sbr had taken this into consideration
Example: lets say there is a tourney on bookmaker for 300 spots.. They run qualifiers for it.
In the tourney instead of having 300 , it could have lets say 296 people in because 4 people won more then one spot, so therefore there are 4 less spots in the final tourney.
Nobody should get the extra ticket for the tourney because someone that already qualified qualifies again
Understand,
Yeah imagine in a week or so when the whole final table has entries, then it will go to 11th,12th & 13th. How does one even know they received an entry when they finished 4th?
fifth place finish today for a final seat... even losers win at sbr, I love this place
Rules are rules and should not be changed.
Lou's keeping track of the qualifiers here: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/players-ta...ain-event.html
SBR wants as many people to qualify as possible, because the whole point of this promotion is to get people to turn pro. And it looks like this is the last time in a long time that Americans will be able to create accounts at US-facing sportsbooks. So this is SBR's last real chance at all that referral money.
That thread was closed didnt see the new one. Anyway it looks like that isnt updated everyday so it's quite possible some people will start getting in without knowing they got in. Especially one who finishes in 15th place but just happens to be in a final 15 where 12 of them have seats already.
multiple spots earned should just be used to keep the final field smaller not rolled down to places below 3rd place
