TUESDAY, May 27th, 22:00 STARS TIME

All members must register for the next FOUR 4/180s 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 $10 to JRBluff (Williams)

High-Rollers-Side-Fun:The base challenge is $10. If you want to play for more money than that, send either $30 or $80. $30 gets you into the regular challenge ($10) and Tier-2 ($20). $80 gets you into the regular challenge ($10), Tier-2 ($20) and Tier-3 ($50). Basically works like three 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. If you 'chop' any payout, you are given the lowest finish possible (if 4 people chop, you get 4th place points) regardless of your actual finish. 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%

So who's in?

for an overview of what it's about.

I'm in. Will ship when I get home from work. 3 tiers. Icalllight on stars.

Does this get alot of runners? 20 30?

we've been hitting 20+ consistantly

shipped

I guess I can afford to piss off a couple bucks since I took a few of these down recently (after a pretty bad downswing). In for tier 1... shipping in a few....

Haven't participated before but will be in. Will ship when I get home from work. Sounds like fun! Probably 2 tiers.

bah its so late

Also do you have a spreadsheet that calculates everything easily for you? If not it would be a snap to make it more automated for you.

i have a ms access template that auto-scores, but i prefer not to use it, i use an excel spreadsheet and plug in tourney finished manually, i actually enjoy doing so.


$ received:
burns-1986 tier 1
vicnice tier 1
jrbluff tier 1

cant make it this week but ill still add the 50$ to the prizepool for this week

you're the man. with this, there is no reason we shouldnt get at least 20 runners....lets gogogo people...splash pot for tier 1 $50!!!!!..WAKE UP!!!!

I will probably be in for all 3 tiers. Let you know for sure when it gets closer.

I shipped for tier 3 $80... Icalllight on stars

$ received:
burns-1986 tier 1
vicnice tier 1
jrbluff tier 1
brad2002tj tier 1
icalllight tier 3

I'll probably play. Will ship closer to kickoff.

I should be in too, will ship later

i'm heading home from work soon, i will have next update on entrants in about an hour.

So, I've spent the last 2 days trying to write a good 3000th post and they all come off lacking great insight and seeming really indulgent. Aside from that, I can't think of a better place to make 3k than to say I'll be joining all of you fine people in the 4/180 challenge tonight, maybe I can actually win one of these things. Dunkster on Stars, shipping money now.

I'm in. I'm shipping you $40, $10 for tier 1, $20 for tier 2, and $10 bonus for tier 1 just for ****s n giggles since this is my first time playing this. As any of you can tell from my sharkscope, getting my money at the tables will only be marginally more difficult than me giving it away.

holla@yogurl on stars

In, shipped, Tier 1, Wish2007 on Stars.

Brag -I haven't played poker in 4 weeks. Just got back from a month long holiday in Greece...

Beat - I think I will play... Cheaper than eating dinner out, which after 29 days in a row gets real old.
