Can I pick one player, one awesome player, and have him be my only pick and get 10x the points he accumulates?and can it be a rule that no one else can pick Robert Varkoni after I do this?

By the way.In the place where you tell us that any remote misspelling will disqualify that person on your team, that spelling muct be exact and the the full name no nicknames will suffice:It's Phil Mellmuth Jr.Anyone know what J.C. Tran's name is?

Basically the spelling rule is there to try and keep as many people as possible using the "standard" way that a player is known and to use the real name as opposed to nicknames. We'll be using an excel set up that searches to match names to track the results and the less changes we have to make to what people have entered the better.If somebody makes an honest spelling mistake and lets us know we can go in and fix it.

what if you only know a person by their nickname?say in the case of some of the sick online talent that most people could only name by their screen names.

Then you'll have to do some work to find out their real name.You have almost 2 weeks to submit your entry.

Book, VT and a hatIt is already awsome.

11th - 20th Places - FCP Hat
I already have a hat ... from a previous contest.But since we are limited to picking only people whose legal names we can spell, it might not matter.

Trust me. I will win. I'd tell you who I picked as my #1, but I don't want the secret that is Ms. Tilly to get out of the bag. Oh, have I said to much???

One thing for sure, this is ten times better than the Full Tilt one last year where they 'let' you pick 10 people per tournament, but the order counted, and the selection list was not simple, with lots of back and forth interweb pages.And to top it off you couldn't just pick one group and auto select them for all the tournaments.
