** THE GLOBAL POKER CHAMPIONSHIPS - THE 2017 EAGLE CUP ** - Page 2 - Global Poker -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Hi splayaa,

To participate in Hometown Heroes you need to win a tournament.

When you win a tournament a Champions Pack will be delivered to your front door!

The pack will include

- a personalized trophy with your name and the tournament you won
- a Global Poker t-shirt
- a Global Poker cap

You can use these to partake in Hometown Heroes.

FYI - you win a champions pack for winning any $weeps Cash, Gold Coin or Freeroll tournament!

Excellent, thank you for the clarification. It looks like those Gold Coin tourneys just went up in value for me if I get all the merch out of it.

Man, I absolutely loved it when Stars had the L-M-H tournaments during their SCOOP and WCOOP series'. I'm pretty pumped that you guys brought that back to US players. Good show! I'mma play in all these mothers.

Hey Crzzy2000, that is correct!

It doesn't matter what stakes you play. Everyone has a shot at winning the Global Poker Championships Eagle Cup Leaderboard and representing Global Poker in a LIVE poker tournament!

This may be too late, but you guys may want to change the amount of chips given for the add-on in the tournaments. Purchasing 10bbs for the price of a buyin at the first break doesn't make much sense. (At least to me, maybe a lot of people get the add-on idk, but I think if you offered more chips it would increase the # of people getting the add-on.)

Are we going to have deeper starting stacks for this series or is it just like the current tournies but with higher guarantees?

I don't see the $10,000 opening freeroll on the list of upcoming tournaments in the lobby. Am I just missing it or is it not there yet? I see the Oct 2nd tournaments, but not the freeroll.

It's there, it is just way down the list because the registration isn't open yet. My guess is they won't open it until like the day before, maybe even later than that. Otherwise they are plagued with all the people who sign up and don't play and just blind off their chips.

It also says that the tourney is going to get capped after the first 5,000 players register.

Does each rebuy count as 10 additional [entry] points on the leaderboard? I doubt it does but would like clarification.

Good luck players.

It hasn't during the Gold Coin promotion series they have been running.

Each player gets 10 entry points per tournament regardless of how many rebuys.

Not long until the opening freeroll!

I would like to know the answer to this as well. Playing a $100 tourney with 2K starting stack doesn't seem worthwhile to me.

Generally speaking the stacks are larger than 2k, except for the rebuy because, well it is a rebuy.

Freezeouts = 3000 start stack
Deep = 4000 start stack
Rebuy, 1r1a, 2r1a = 2000 start stack
$110= buy in = 3000 start stack (and 3k rebuy and 3k addon)

Hope this helps and best of luck in the Eagle Cup!

lol those are the same starting stacks as your normal tournaments.

I like the fact that the daily tournaments are fast paced but tournaments in your series should have significantly more play.

So the 1r1a still have a 2k chip addon while straight rebuys is 3k? You really should up the addon to 3k for both to encourage more to take the addon.
