Me. Interested, Also. me commentator. Make show Good.

If buy in is more than 250.00 i'm out, if its less than 50. uhh, maybe.

Alright, I have recieved over 35 people interested in this event, which is simply awesome. As far as the discrepency of the buyins, I feel it would be best to run two events, one with a buyin of $10-30, and one with a buyin of $100+. This, of course, is pending enough interest for both of these. Also, if you are interested in a freeroll, stay tuned as I am trying to work something else out. Below is a closer idea of the flow of this event.

-Qualifying freeroll for low buyin event, top 24 advance

-Qualifying freeroll for high buyin event, top 23 guaranteed a seat, 24th pending

-Low buyin event, winner of this is given the option to use winnings to buy into the high buyin event, if they opt out of the high buyin event, seat goes to 24th place finisher in qualifyer

-High buyin event.
Also, I'd like to discuss how fast to do this... once the event is underway, we could blast through everything in a matter of 2 weeks, with a match close to every day. Or take a slower route, stretch it out to 6 weeks, one prelim match a week and the playoffs the final week. As far as days of the week, any day between noon and 3am EST works for me, but I would like to avoid the Neg-o and FCPHUL time slots. That's it for now

Seconded for Royal as commentator.....all in favor say aye!

New information:
Scheduling - 90% sure Prelim matches will take place on weeknights (excluding wednesday) between 9-10 EST (flexible though, about 4 hours each way if players would like). Saturday is also possible but not preferred.
Players will play once a week during prelims, each playing 5 matches, playing everyone else at least once hopefully. Round of 16 will take place in week 6 and 7, same schedule, once again each player playing once a week.
Week 8 will close out with the 2 quarterfinal matches, the two semifinal best of 3 series, and closing with the best of 5 finale. As this schedule is so spread out, the low and high buyin events will more than likely be run simultaniously.

Buyin - low is ranging from $20-30, high is still $100+, still want more players opinion on the high buyin. Also, this amount signifies a one time fee, not per match. Also again, the one time fee guarantees 5 prelim matches.

All of this will also be posted on the OP, the list of interested participants will be replaced with a #, as I am worried about making too long of a post. I still urge you to pm or email me at fcpsuperstars at gmail dot com, as I will update you about tournament information.

Ugh this timing is really bad for me. The earlier the better for me. Weekends would also be really good.

Also if you make the higher buy in from like 100-150 I might do that instead.

$20-30 seems good for the buy in for low, but just so im not mistaken it for the whole thing or per game?

I'm trying to make the timing as flexible as possible, I felt that 9-10 EST would be the most frequently available time, I'm willing to try to work out scheduling to accomidate everyone as much as possible, even if that means running a few saturday matches if people agree to it.
all specified buyins are for the whole thing

I'm hoping I have some more information for you all tomorrow

i really prefer the lower buy-in. if i remember correctly, the FCPFC was a larger buyin thing, let's do something lower that everyone can play.

No the FCPFC was what i and my team won, it was more so bragging rights out of 81 players.

The heads up league which i'm also in is the 500 buy in,

my opinion, both have had some no shows, 1 being a 10.00 event the other 500.00 they still have issues.

does the larger buy in help make things a little more "action packed?" well no not really, still as much trash talk and hype and excitment.

The only good part about higher buy-in is you get more dedicated players, but it still doesnt guarantee some people from acting like Teneight etc..

who i'd still like to choke

The only problem I see with these type of tournaments, is the scheduling. The HU league works very well because it only takes 2 people to agree on a time. With 6 people per match, it would be very inflexible, and people would miss matches as a result.

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.

This is named FCP Superstars right? Not FCP Freeroll for every 18-poster that wants to play the all in game?

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::

Time to pad my post count! +1!

All right, except for sea cuke. haha. There would be obvious exceptions for people deeply involved with FCP poker but not so involved in the forums. But probably not that many.

can we have some exceptions from the latter end of this...e.g. RKIGS ?

by latter end, i mean people with posts over 200 who just suck balls.

Yes, posts and poker playing should by no means be an automatic bid - but then again, RKIGS doesn't play poker anyway does he? Aside from underground $500 buyin play money games.

its not really all luck. alot of hustlin in it
a fun thing to do is play for real money instead of using monopoly money use cash. fun way to pick up a couple thousand

He's a professional monopoly player, didn't you know?

I don't think post count should come into qualifying for this. That's just silly.

youre only saying that cause you have less than 200

btw in order to keep it like the show i think the levels should each be 30 seconds lol

i think ppl are complaining about the superstar name but we dont need to make it "superstars" just make it like toe forum open or something like that

btw in order to keep it like the show i think the levels should each be 30 seconds lol

Sorry to dissapoint, but the levels will be 45 seconds
(sw)

As far as post count dictating entry, I tend to shy away from that, because of the point Kestral makes, it's quality, not quantity. I'd rather let play dictate entry, rather than how many **** and fart jokes you can make in general. Plus, I kind of only have like 115 posts, and half of them are crap. I'd rather see a 'play in' where your play will qualify you.

or whoever can luckbox there way to the final 24.
