Saw FouTights thread on first to ship 11r rush and thought i mght make a diff thread

so basically im thinking first to outright win a sunday major will win the prize.

the buyin will be set at $500 for now, but if people want higher or lower we can change that

late reg? pretty sure late reg wont affect anything so might as well have registration open until a contestant wins, thoughts?

what constitutes a sunday major...
this will be a toughie but im gonna keep it simple. These will be the tournies that will count for this contest
Sunday Brawl
Sunday 750k
Sunday Mulligan
Sunday Warmup
Sunday Million
Sunday Second Chance

those make most sense to me and i think those are the most prestigious to win.

ill hold i guess. if someone objects to me holding im sure i can get someone else to.
u can ship to deoxyribo (Torrance) on stars or dDeoxyribo (C) some girl (i change my avatar once in a while) on tilt

so yea, seems like a fun contest and could have lotsa sweats.

List of Players
1. Deoxyribo
2. smokrokflok
3. Bbbbbbb33
4. Jymaster11
5. Joey Capp

orly

can i sponser somebody for the contest since im not yet rolled for the sunday majors? but would love to toss in a little action on this

strict no chop policy would be fun

having said that, he let ppl do it anyway

itd prob be a couple guys i knew... well known regs... if they werent going to enter the comp themselves...

same thing as if i staked them and they entered themselves no?

yeah but i wouldnt just be saying oh i pick bax or oh i pick moorman... it would actually be a player whom i personally knew... if you really want me to just go to them and have them enter it with teh money then i will.. but i was just throwing this out there for feed back...

btw none of the players are in top 100... but they are close! lol

This would be a pain for the person running it. But, how about $100/wk until someone ships one? There couldn't be late registration, but something like 25% of the pool for FT'ing one of them and when someone ships one they get the whole pool. Kinda cool idea but might not be worth the trouble, IDK. Maybe the original idea would work better.

count me in, but would prefer higher stake

um.... motivation to do well to get to this 200k score you speak of...duh !

I think it's more just the competition than the money. Sure you can win 2.5k playing poker, but to be the first on the site to take down a sunday major in 2011? That's a one and only.

what about the sunday 500? shouldn't that be count as a major too?

I'll be in but alot of kinks need to get worked out and if there is alot of interest in it.

Do you need to ship it outright? or can you chop the lions share/ lose and still win? What if you chop and are shorty and then go onto ship it?

Could do you have to chop for more than 2nd place and get the most money and that would count...

I mean if Im 3 handed in the mirry and 3rd is like 90k and I can chop for lke 160 ill probably chop... I think if you SHIP a major ( whether you chop or not, it should count).. even if you chop 3 handed people are still playing for the extra 30k in the middle..
