TURBO PLAY, THIS CHALLENGE TAKES SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 2 HOURS FROM START TO FINISH.

Wednesday, APRIL 30th, 22:00 STARS TIME

All members must register for the next FOUR 12/180s on PokerStars AFTER 10:00pmEDT (22:00 Server time). If a tournament has less than 20 regged at 22:00 then that tournament will be the first one. I will post in this thread when we are starting

Cost: Please send $20 to JRBluff (Williams) for entry into the basic challenge (Tier 1)

High-Rollers-Side-Fun. The base challenge is $20. If you want to play for more money than that, send $120. This will get you into to Tier 1 ($20) AND Tier 2 ($100). Basically works like two individual challenges - same scoring, same tourneys, same payout structure, same everything. Only difference is the number of runners.



Scoring: Same as every week:

Missed tourney = 0 points
180-150th = 0 points
149-120th = 0.5 points
119-100th = 1 point
99-80th = 2 points
79-60th = 3 points
59-40th = 4 points
39-30th = 5 points
29-20th = 7 points
19th = 9 points
18-15th = 10 points
14-10th = 12 points
9th = 15 points
8th = 17 points
7th = 19 points
6th = 21 points
5th = 24 points
4th = 27 points
3rd = 30 points
2nd = 35 points
1st = 40 points

Wins and final 3's are HUGE in this stucture. Tie breakers go as follows.

1st tiebreak - Total Monies Won
2nd tiebreak - Highest Finish
3rd tiebreak - 2nd Highest Finish

If tied after that it is chopped

Payout structure is the same as every week.

Payouts:
- Less than 10 = 1st-100%
- 10-19 = 1st-80%, 2nd 20%
- 20-29 = 1st-60%, 2nd-30%, 3rd-10%
- 30+ = 1st-50%, 2nd-25%, 3rd-15%, 4th-10%

I've played 140 tournies in like the last 3 days and it's just bs like this over and over and over and over and over and over til i want to ****ing kill a baby seal any time i even think about poker

60? lol come back when you have 130

Point is you're just running bad, play more tourneys and you'll eventually run normal again, or *GASP* run good. Variance happens and if you want to combat it, PLAY MORE !
