    SBR World Poker Cup (Ryder Cup) 2011: Win 50,000+ SBR points!
    SBR World Poker Cup 2011

    Team USA vs Team Canada vs Team Europe vs Team World

    How to make a team

    • A ninth place 'wild card' will be assigned to each team. This poster will be a player that did not rank within the top 8, but has 1. achieved a minimum of 500 points from playing during the WSOP Freeroll Series, 2. has the highest post count within his region.

    Playing Schedule (July 4th — July 7th)
    • Nine tournaments per day registering from 12:00PM-8:00PM EDT (view schedule). Each event will be password protected. Your SBR Poker usernames will be altered to include your region.
    • 4 players per tournament (1 player from each region). It will be the responsibility of each team to decide amongst each other which time interval suits them best. Players may compete in only one tournament per day. In the event that multiple players within a region enter the same tournament, no points will be earned for their team. Players may not share the password with players that have not qualified under any circumstance - no points will be counted for that region.

    Scoring details
    • Each tournament will award 2 points for the winning poster's 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.

      Any chance you can put out a list of US players that have 500 points and their post counts. If I'm close, I'll post every second of the days left. Pavy's dumbass probably doesn't have 500, so at least team USA won't be burdened by his shit play.

                        finally got an infraction for telling the truth and get my post deleted.

                        I was overdue for one anyway, glad you guys know that I know your secrets to success.

                          There are going to be a number of hardware changes performed the following week(s) effecting the poker platform. This is our best block of time for you guys to square off at the tables.

                                Highest number of posts? At least do a random drawing with everyone over 500.

                                      Bragging rights are worth their weight in gold here at SBRforum...

                                      The winning team (and runner-up) will also have unique, never before seen SBRforum badges.

                                                I want a separate group as I mentioned Mexico, so I know I would qualify. There has to be at least 8 people from there

                                                  What happens if a team member knows in advance that they can't play one, some or all the days? Is there a provision for an alternate or substitute or does the team just forfeit that match? With it being a holiday in the USA and summer vacation time for much of the world, it seems a real possibility.

                                                  I'll volunteer for Team USA alternate if I can't win my way in!

                                                        what if the 9th wildcard doesn't have 500 points ? justonetime is 8th and has 350 points .

                                                        can the team captain then choose any player ?

                                                            either team members decide or the player with most points is the captain.

If I'm close, I'll post every second of the days left. Pavy's dumbass probably doesn't have 500, so at least team USA won't be burdened by his shit play.
                                                              This post makes no sense. I will play you Poker one on one if you think you are better than me. And we will only use plastic cards not this rigged poker software SBR is using. So put up or shut up.

                                                                does the 90% of sbr (400-500 other players) just sit back an entire month of july and not play poker? this seems really silly to me. giving 50K to 36 people is quite lucky for them and very unlucky for the rest of us loyal posters.
