Weekend Poker Tournament (25 point buy in)

[mpaschal34]

Interesting pay structure for the 25 points buy in.


1st: 40% of points
2nd: 75 points
3rd: 50 points
4th: 25 points
5th: 15 points
6th: 5 points


so if you are not in the top 3 you don't make any points for the tournament. only the winner makes anything of value. i think i'll pass.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

doesn't make much sense

it's not that the buy in is high....it's the payout structure.

a typical weekend tournament usually has about 25 people in it. so a 25 point buy in makes an entry fee pool of 625. the above structure only pays out 420 of those points. 205 (33%) of the fees don't get paid out.

hopefully sam makes some adjustments a 25 50 100 point buy in with good payouts wouldnt' be bad for the weekend

A Pizza Poker Tournament is scheduled for 7pm today.
There was an error in the 1st Place prize listed earlier. So I have canceled that tournament and refunded the points to the 2 entries.
The tournament has been corrected and has been rescheduled for today.
I apologize for the error. Remember this is my Very 1st attempt to do this.
1st place prize is for a $25 Pizza e-card
2nd pace prize is 75 Poker Points
3rd Place is 50 Poker Points
4th Place is 25 Poker Points
5th Place is15 Poker Points
6th Place is 5 Poker Points

6th place lol

[Ballerholic]

the problem is that you can only win poker points after buying in with real points and then have to roll over those poker points you win LOL. Makes 0 sense

With current participation numbers, this will likely be a very cool SNG style tourney where a 25 point buy-in gets the winning SNG player an item valued at $25. Best of luck!

[mpaschal34]

Can you buy into a table with 5 points?

[Carseller4]

How would someone ever be able to roll over 5 poker points?

I don't think it's possible.

[sammygran]

no incentive to play for now for points that have no value.

I’ll put up 25 pts for a chance to win a pizza card all day.

That’s exactly it. $25 pizza for 25 points can’t go wrong with that!��

Solid point...Since you're a Canadian non pro who can't get 5Dimes cash orders processed in SBR store, might as well ship me 2 pts/day.

I agree if you buy in with point it should not rollover those point if you win in a tourney then yes rollover make sense

6th Place is 5 Poker Points

Why hasn't this joke been addressed & removed?
