Win your $7,500 WSOP Package in our new Challenge!
Team Vegas Challenge is now taking registrations, and compared to other Vegas Challenges we’ve run before this one is rather different…
No Team, No Live Final, No Excuses. Are you good enough to join our Team in Vegas?
This time it’s all about your own personal score! So if you fancy your chances and like the idea of jetting off to Las Vegas for WSOP 2012, then register now here: http://www.lasvegasteamchallenge.com
The tournaments start on Monday 19th March 2012, so don’t delay!
See you in Vegas! |

why are the points in 3 groups? i really dont think that its fair as your alienating players who cant afford the $30 buy ins with $20 r/b's by giving the people who can higher points to play for
other than this i think it looks ok. _________________ "There's not enough hippies to save our lives, We need more hippies" |

If the numbers hold up yes - guess they're trying to prevent the drop off of payers by giving the latter stages more points.
Not too much of a fan, but will give it a go, got a good track record in these! _________________ My blog: http://thepokerlifeofdave.blogspot.com/ |

| Looks good, takes out the crappy elements of the previous one (relying on others to keep playing and the live donkament in Birmingham). I'll give this a crack I think. |

| I'm leaving this one to you guys lol. I've emailed Gary to look at future point scoring. If you finished 7th every game would you expect to be in the top 6 of the league? we'll check the points at the end but I dont think you would. Just doesn't seam right. |

I'll sign up. Shame half the tournaments are on a Thursday though. Unlikley I'll be able to play many of those due to other commitments. _________________ Master of Puppets I'm Pulling Your Strings!

Re: Points increasing as the Weeks pass;
This is something we've always done, it rewards the players who play for the whole series, and with the prize pool being Guaranteed, it's important that we reward the players who play at the 'business end'. Its rather tlike rankig points, you wouldn't expect to get the same ranking points for a £100 side event as a £1000 Main Event.....
Re: Points structure;
We've actually flattened it considerably Vs the LVTCIII Team Challenge, if you take the top 10 payouts for say a Round 9 tournie with 200 to 250 players....
LVTCIII:
1st 6750, 2nd 5000, 3rd 3375, 4th 2250, 5th 1800, 6th 1500, 7th 1300, 8th 1000, 9th 800, 10th 550
TVC:
1st 6000, 2nd 4500, 3rd 3600, 4th 3000, 5th 2400, 6th 1950, 7th 1500, 8th 1050, 9th 800, 10th 700
We'll keep it as we've now punlished and if it needs changing for LVTCIV or TVCII then of course we will do.
Re: Tournaments being on a Thursday, remember you can play on Mondays also, your best score of the week goes towards your points total.
Already over 150 players registered! |

Joe did I read somewhere you are a bounty for every game and the bounty prize is a vegas package each game?
