    SBR World Poker Cup 2015 is here!!!

    SBR World Poker Cup 2015

    USA vs Confederates vs Canada vs World


    How to make a team

    • Rank in the top 12 for points won during SBR Poker tournament play Mon-Fri from May 1 — August 19.
    • Twelve slots will be assigned for each region. Leaderboards will be posted with standings by country. Confederates refers to 12 US members who do not qualify for Team US.
    • Daily tournaments will pay the top twelve 2,000 in poker points (600/375/250/175/150/120/80/70/60/50/40/30). 3PM, 7PM, 11PM ET. 40 slots per tournament.

    Team Match Schedule (August 24 — August 27)

    • Twelve tournaments per day from 12:00PM-11:00PM ET.
    • Four players per tournament (1 player from each region).

    Scoring details

    • Each tournament will award 2 points for the winning team, and 1 point for the runner-ups team. Co-champions will be crowned in the event of a tie with an equal division of the pot. A leaderboard will be maintained in Players Talk showing how many points each team has.

    Prize-pool
    Winning team: 8,000 betpoints each
    Runner-up: 3,000 poker pts each
    3rd place: 1,500 poker pts each
    4th place: 750 poker pts each

    Fine-print

    1. Must be an SBR Pro to represent a team. Reminders will be sent during qualification period.
    2. Users banned during the qualification period may lose their right to make a team at SBR's discretion.
    3. One entry per household.
    4. Tiebreaker will be SBRforum join date during qualification period. If contestants joined the same day, # of cashes will be used. If # of cashes is tied, # of points won will be used.
    5. It will be the responsibility of each team to decide which player will represent them per tourney. Players may compete in only one tournament per day. Players may not share the password with players that have not qualified under any circumstance - no points will be counted for that region. Events will be PW protected & player usernames altered to include region.
    Points Awarded:

    Well paying out 12 places will at least help out the ring games.

    Do Nonpros have a 10 point entry fee into each tournament?

    Or at least a 6 point fee?

    Do have one small question though....with only 3 tourney's per day, I'm pretty sure 40 slots wil fill up. Can we open it up to 50 players?

    I would say no to 50 just because then booby wouldn't be able to sign up in the last 10 seconds each night! Hell he did it last night and that tournament didn't even count

    No 10am or 9pm. Probably puts the nail in the coffin for my pro renewal. Wish I could play the promo

    Tiebreaker will be SBRforum join date during qualification period. If contestants joined the same day, # of cashes will be used. If # of cashes is tied, # of points won will be used.

    Alright bobbo, I may have a few free spots to play for this tournament round. You ready to make that heads up challenge me versus you? Higher world cup standing wins it. Looks its even back to your favored 40% of the field paid.

    What do you say? 5k heads up.

    SBR and Sammy comes through. To think I doubted the state of poker a few months back. Job well done, team SBR.

    Nice one SBR....even with the participation awards back in place, at least the progression is a bit more sensible. Seems like you have the tiebreakers listed in the opposite order of their relevance to poker skill, but don't see that as too big f a deal for a format like this. Hopefully I'll find the time to play enough

    Good luck...with as long as he's been ducking you, you're going to need it

    I'm looking forward to offering sharper odds/limits this year, so I don't lose the entirety of my team winnings on people hammering my lines

    Figures the POS stalker would watch for what time I sign up, as he has nothing better to do with his time.
