Please read this entire post before responding or sending entry fees!



Entry Fee:   $15 per person ($45 per team).   Ship entry fee to !!Mr_Blonde6 (Georgetown) on PokerStars or Mr_Blonde7 on FTP.  3 players per team.  Each team is to designate a team captain.  If at all possible, the team captain can send the fee for his entire team (the less transfers to me the easier it is for me to track).

You will need to activate your email notifications from both PokerStars and FullTilt.  The results of any tourney you cash in, will be sent to your email.  You will then copy and paste the result in a scoring thread I will create once the tournament begins.  I will then enter the scores (as often as possible) into a spreadsheet everyone has access to view. Anyone found to alter the emails or in anyway post fraudulent scores will be disqualified from the contest.

Eligible Tournaments:  Any Micro level MTT on PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker.  For the purposes of this competition, micro tournaments are defined as MTT tournaments with at least a $1 buy-in, and no more than a $6 buy-in (including rake) and have a minimum of 100 players.  $5.50 re-buys do NOT count, but I will count the $3.30 rebuys.  Absolutely no SNG's or satellite tournaments will count.  The type of game does not matter (Hold'em, Omaha, Stud, Razz, 5 Card draw, etc...) *EDIT* Shootout tournaments do NOT count

Scoring:  Scoring begins Monday November 2nd at 1:00AM est and ends Sunday night November 8th at Midnight est.  Tournaments that start before 1AM on the 1st, or after Midnight on the 8th do not count.  We are using Pokerstars TLB point system.  I will convert FTP scores to pokerstars TLB points using the TLB calculator.  For purposes of checking the individual scores, all tournaments must be tracked on the pokerdb at http://www.bluffmagazine.com/thepokerdb/ to count.  The pokerdb has always been the most accurate data base, so I'm confident your scores will be spot on.  If by chance a tournament is not on thepokerdb (or OPR) for whatever reason, the results of that tournament will NOT count towards your score.  If there is a glitch in the db I will search for specific tournaments on OPR and cross reference.  Only your top 20 scores per team will count, with no more than 8 scores from any one team member.  I am aware that you may receive TLB points in tournaments you do not cash.  For this contest, you MUST CASH for the points to be eligible.
