I'm definately up for this again. After having great "season" play, I went out in the 1st round of the "playoffs". Plus, I look forward to busting zsta again AIPF with A7 vs his AA. My only suggestion that I had last time (which I'm sure is still not possible) is if we could somehow weight the starting chip count by "season" finish in the 2nd round so there's a point to playing better in the 1st round. Hope to see/beat you all once this starts.

[KDawgCometh 2]

still something that is up in the air... really all it would take is 2 hands of setup right at the start... but we'll see...Just to help people decide... here are the buyin amounts...Low - $50Mid - $125High - $250also, the high is flexible, if people want a bigger buyin, I'll accomidate, but the low is the absolute lowest it can go, and I'd like the mid to hover around half the high buyin, although $125 is about perfect IMOtake me about another hour or three, but I'll post the rules sheet yet... stay tuned

yep

[zsta2k6 0]

okay.... before I open registration... well... preregistration... after all, we are 3 months away from the start.. we all need to figure out what the hell we are going to do as far as paying the buy in. Who holds it, where it is held, etc... because we are talking about a hell of a lot of money, and I don't really want to be held liable for such a large amount. so... any ideas? at the very least, I was thinking about like a paypal account... but I really dont trust paypal either... so... ideas?

I'm interested in the low but $50 buyin and 1st only gets $160? Seems a little low to me. Or am I not reading this correctly?

You aren't reading it correctly. Those are the payouts for each round along the way. So you can (just making up the numbers here) win $40, then $40 more, then $80 more then $160 more as you advance through each round.

[r0llin_game 2]

i'm in the low buyin!um we can create a name on stars and just hold the moneys in there, maybe even ask support if someone can create an extra acct for that?

correct... you can concievably win (with 32 entrants) $560 if you win every single match you are in... you are guaranteed at least $360 if you win the tournament.
