    Last place team wins a pizza. At least they won't go home hungry after playing for 3 months daily just to qualify.

    The prizes are a bit underwhelming, but the structure is surely better than it's been in the past. I'm happy they responded to the feedback.

    Actually if you play the dailies regularly, you will win much more than the grand prize in rolled over poker points.

    So SBR is rewarding mediocrity now.

    Well in these Obama times I guess its the political correct thing to do. We cant have all these non-americans winning all those points just because they are better than US players. Thats not fair. We need to redistribute the wealth. Give the US more teams, so that even when they finish 3rd and 4th they will end up with a bigger piece of the pie.

    And if you keep adding US teams then at some point you might even win 2nd place.

    The previous structure (and to a lesser extent the upcoming one) reward mediocrity, by letting underperforming world players go into a brief, high-variance format on equal footing with dominant US players. Not a single person on the world or European teams last year could have made it onto team USA, or most likely even in the confederates of this year. Canada had one person who would have made team USA and two others who probably would have landed on the confederates, but that's it.

    That's not to say that US people are somehow better at poker than other nations, but for the people here representing their respective regions, it certainly holds true. And as was mentioned above, almost all players will make more in rolled over points from dailies than the prizes for the finals (with the exception of about 2/3rds of the world team from last year).

    It will be beyond comical if team USA and the Confederates tie for last though

    dear friend, as i stated before, i ll play some high roller and sundays.
    i love playing SBR competition, and I put 100% on every event, but now, i feel the need to step aside for a while, and focus on other where i need.
    I proved to myself what i can do on the last competition, and i m glad with the results ( some others not so much) and past results, even when i was consider 1 time fortune hit by many players.
    I posted txs to SBR since they put a big event day in and day out for free and despite the luck of updates, I still thankful for all that was offered in prizes to be earned.
    Good luck to all

    walmart exchange rate 3150=100 bucks.....

    pizza exchange rate roughly 2125 or 2250 = 100 bucks (i can't remember off hand whether pizza's are 425 for 20 bucks or 450, and i'm too lazy to go check)

    If you are better than Americans go play WSOP. Go play Pokerstars. Don't be hiding at a tiny poker room getting freebies.

    You can't be fukin serious.

    Pretty sure team world had a guy sign up for SBR about two weeks before World Cup final and still make the team with maybe 3-4 cashes.

    The final is fine, its a shoot out that has a lot of variance and US has lost badly (ive been on a few US teams) . But to think they are rewarding mediocrity is a pretty poor assessment. 80% of the pool playing for the spots of one team while the remaining 20% spread over 3 teams, Im sure that makes sense somewhere Im just not seeing where

    Thanks for the contest SBR.


    Just an idea to make things simpler. The US should have a team from every state. World should go by country. UK by provinces or whatever they have across the pond. this would make everything less confusing

    I'm looking forward to the challenge of making a real world team too.

    I bet the old world players take 5 or 6 of the 12 spots now we know we need to fight for a spot from the start!

    I shall represent Jackie Blewwwwww's homeland, Meh-hee-co, and I shall be, much like that 50-something "most interesting man in the world" look-a-like alpine skier who was Meh-heee-co's only Olympian representative at Sochi's winter games, the only representative of Ms. Blewwwww's home land in the upcoming world cup! And although I don't often drink beer or chew gum or practice organized religion, when I do, I prefer Bohemia, Chicklets, and graphically painted Crucifexes!!!!!
