my great new comp idea!

edited April 2011 in Poker Chat
quite simple really.

exactly the same as the vegas qualifiers from the small stake sats down to the final.

the only difference being.............no vegas trip but £10k instead!

if there is a problem with a 10k gtd game it could stipulate a minimum amount of players in the final,which would be 10 obviously.all of whom have qualified through the sats.

im sure everyone would rather have the trip of a lifetime as skys guest at vegas but when the last final has been played maybe  sky can carry on the same game with the 10k for winning.........

cheers,dave

    Why not just a monthly 1k buyin tournament on sundays, with a satellite structure similar to/same as vegas? Would be a good way to judge interest and give plenty of time for players to satellite in, I think there'd be a fair amount of interest to satellite in for less than 3 quid.

    A really big buyin tournament is something the site is missing I think, primo has a nice prizepool but field is still pretty big, the monthly 220 deepstack and the new weekly sky rollers are much better, but a 1k buyin would be really nice to see how it goes.

    Wouldn't be many runners obv, but I think it'd probably get enough to just about be worthwhile? A lot of the high stakes players may be interested.

    Love it btw, in case you couldn't guess ^^ doubt I'd play it much, but it'd be something to have a shot at satelliting into when I can.

    yea i like that idea.........but i like the idea of having the 1st prize of 10k.
    if you had a 1k tourny the money would get split down % wise

    I agree with the 10K 1st prize, but would the other prizes be split 50% - 30% - 20% like the current model if there were say 17 players, 2nd would not get £7000

    The next VLV Final will be on January 30th, & there will FIVE Finals in all this year, being January, February, March, April, & May.

    It has been decided to change the payout structure for the "Seat Bubble", that is to say, the player who misses the Seat by one spot.

    Previously, ALL the "spare" money went to the seat bubble. This resulted in as much as £9,000 in two cases being awarded where there were, say, 19, or 29, runners.

    With immediate effect, this will now change.

    The "left over" element of the Prize Pool - the cash element - will be split into THREE, on the basis of 50%, 30%, & 20%. 

    So, if there are, say, 25 runners, there will be two £10,000 packages, with £5,000 "left over".

    This £5,000 would be split 50%, 30% & 20% to the THIRD, FOURTH & FIFTH places. 

    If there were 18 runners, & thus 1 £10k package, the £8,000 would be split 50%, 30% & 20% between 2nd, 3rd & 4th places.

    This change will remain in place until further notice, though, like all things, the Suits will re-examine it &/or modify it in the light of player-experience.

    All constructive feedback welcome.
