Wish I could join, games start at 3am for me, then again my travel costs would be too high unless I happen to be out there for other events. GL getting 20+ people!

Nice idea. Did something like this in a home game a few years ago. A few suggestions.

- Make the buy-in $200. Winner of the contest gets a ME seat ($10k). Should be able to get 50 players. If the contest winner cashes in the ME. 90% of the payout goes to the contest winner. 10% is split amongst the other participants. If the contest winner wins another ME sat, they are still bound by this 90/10 agreement. (or they can play 10k worth of prelim wsop events with the 90/10 split) Contest winner keeps all perks. (tv table, sponsorship, etc.) A contract can be written up for the contest winner(s).
- Any money over the $10k can be used for $1k or $1500 events with same split agreement. Not sure how to handle someone "holding" the money.
- Make all of the tourneys $11 NLH MTTs. And use the same structure for each. Want to be consistent and give everyone a fair shot. 9 of the tourneys listed are "specialized". This is huge when the winner is based on a total score.
I'd def be interested if you make these changes. -
do the other players get any of the winners action? because I think that could be a selling point for me especially
-
don't think we will change the size. $75 buyin for 1500$ seat will stay.

I am also open to having the winner 90/10 split where 10% of any cash goes back to entrants, but prefer not to.
If it's abig problem we can change the game selection, but I thought it'd be more fun to mix it up and add a bit more variety instead of having them all be NL sngs. Only 3 are NON nlhe, a plo horse and 8game. the other variety is just different forms of NL, shootout 4max 6max etc. -
