zsta2k6 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Alright, after some deliberation and pressure from both sides of this argument, I have decided to change the qualification for the high buyin event. There will now be a 2 tiered qualification. The first qualifier will be open only to those who have competed in FCPHUL, FCPFC, or placed top 15 in either Neg-O leaderboard this year (1st or 2nd quarter). This qualifier will probably be $5+.5 entry, and will award 12 of the seats. The other 12 will be awarded in an open entry qualifier following the restricted qualifier, same buyin as the restricted, and elgible players may play in both.As long as there are enough willing players (at least 24) to put up $150+ for the buyin, the high buyin event will happen.However, the low buyin even is in question, dependant on if I can work something out with the poker room, as the buyin is so low the $5+.5 minimum buyin would crush not only the payouts, but would make it so at least $27.50 has to be spent to play, not to mention playoffs, essentially killing the event.As far as payouts, you can see the estimates based on a $250 buyin belowBuyin : $250 + $25 (for prelim buyins, will be reimbursed after prelims are finished, all buyins for matches will be reimbursed)Total Prize Pool: $6000Payouts:Prelim win: $50 (20 winners)Round of 16 win: $75 (8 winners)Quarterfinal 2nd, 3rd or 4th: $75 (6 winners)Quarterfinal win: $150 (2 winners)Semifinal loss: $150 (2 winners)Semifinal win: $250 (2 winners)Final loss: $700 (one winner)Final win: $2000 (one winner)Maximum win: $2900Now, if you run the numbers and figure out how much is being paid out (and I'm sure someone will) You will notice only $5850 is being paid out (that's right, in PS3, with all the advertising and such, FSN and the poker room is still skimming the prize pool) What to do with the excess $150 is up to the players. My idea is an 8 person $150 added consolation tournament for the players knocked out in the round of 16. That's just my idea. Link to post Share on other sites

RDog 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 So is the qualifier you are talking about only for the lower buy in? In other words, how many total people are interested in the higher buy in? Link to post Share on other sites
zsta2k6 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 So is the qualifier you are talking about only for the lower buy in? In other words, how many total people are interested in the higher buy in?I'm counting at least 10 who specifically stated they would buy in to the high buyin event, a majority of people just sent along their forum name, so it is kind of hard to tell specific high buyin interest at this point. I'm working on revamping the interest list to say who is interested in what buy in. Link to post Share on other sites
xzanos 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'd be in for the proposed $250 buyin, but I choose not to jump through the qualifying hoop to get in. If there's room for me, let me know, otherwise, GL with this. Link to post Share on other sites
tskillz187 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Is the $250 set in stone? If it is and there is no prelim I would also like to be in. Link to post Share on other sites

Mercury69 3 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 he hasnt been here for 5 months nor does he post 50 times a day...when the forum was updated, all the members starting with the letters "y" and "z" got their accounts lost and new ones had to be created. Well, if that's the case then ok. But I still believe entry by post count isn't the way to go. Especially since the guy running it has 100ish and been here less than 3 months.Regardless of post count, Yoda is still a dildo.You mean Alf...not Ron.Alf...Ron, whatever..it's hard to differentiate fro mthe asshats here sometimes. :-)Anyway...on the constructive side, clearly there is a division of interests which indicates two "levels" of play $50-$100 and $250. If we can agree on that, we can go ahead with formatting how the series will be played. Those of you who haven't said which buy-in you can do should do so ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites

Come on, that's hillarious.lol you're a moron, i've been a member here for well over a year. I lost signup date and member number when the forum change happened. And learn how to spell ridiculous you ass hat.he hasnt been here for 5 months nor does he post 50 times a day...when the forum was updated, all the members starting with the letters "y" and "z" got their accounts lost and new ones had to be created.I see you covered this already, thanks Regardless of post count, Yoda is still a dildo.You have proven yourself to be an asshole on so many occasions I don't even feel the need to fight back.

supertouch 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 i can't sift through 8 pages of posts, so if this has already been addresses, i apologize in advance. but, has the idea of having two leagues, one at $100 buy in and the other at $250, been brought up yet?i am more inclined to sign up for the $100 but would probably sign up for the $250.

DonkSlayer 1 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 This is named FCP Superstars right? Not FCP Freeroll for every 18-poster that wants to play the all in game? People with < 200 posts shouldn't even be considered for the real deal. And preference should be given to participants of the FCP Heads Up League, Forum Challenge, or at the very LEAST Neg-O. If commissioner really wants to put in the extra time for a low buyin event, fine. But this should be called FCP Not So Super-stars.Buyin I'd say minimum $50, $100 is ideal. Plus each tourney match can be $10-20 as well.Seriously though, "FCP Superstars" with a $20 buyin for the whole season? Come on.All that being said, I love the idea in general and think it has a lot of potential. ::Throws his name into the hat::My post count is higher. I must be a bigger superstar than you.

Back in NY I was 2 hours from AC & Foxwoods. But in the middle of NC, damn. Caesars Indiana? There certainly isn't anything in VA or NC. But let me know if you find one!
