TAM 8 Poker - Sign up thread!

[Horatius]

Okay, it looks like we have a go for the Poker Tournament! I just spoke to Joe D at the South Point, and booked 3 tables. I'm supposed to call again on July 1, to confirm numbers. We can add some later if we need it, but we want a rough estimate so he can schedule dealers. So please indicate your intention to attend here!


The South point is running "Bounty" tournaments these days, and we're adapting that format to our needs. The basic Buy-in is $50, with $15 going to the casino. There's also an extra $5 buy in, which is normally the bounty, that will go to the JREF. With the basic buy-in, you get 3000 chips, and the extra $5 gets you 2000 more, so people will almost certainly go for that option.

We could probably also arrange for extra donations on the side, if people want to give more. Last year the plan was to donate half the prize pool, so we'll see if people are up for that as well.

So, add your name to the list if you plan to play!

If someone wants to play but will be late could they just have their stack blinded till they arrive, and assuming someone else pays for them in advance?

I'm not sure! The buy-ins are being run by the casino. Will you just be late to the tournament, or late getting to the casino at all? If you're around the casino earlier, you might be able to buy in to the tournament, then show up after it starts.

Also, if we have extra spaces, you might be able to buy in after the tournament starts. Most places I know of allow late registration up to the first break, or so.

I was asking for someone whose flight lands at 7:15 and he didn’t think he’d get to the hotel until an hour or so after the tournament started. I’m leaning toward playing but haven’t decided yet. Most tournaments that have a specific start time and buy in price frown on late arrivals, but some will allow a stack to pay the blinds until the player arrives so their money is in the game and there’s no advantage to arriving late.

You need to put the table outside the quote tags, or others will have trouble adding to it!

Sorry I missed that.

 

[Horatius]

Sorry I missed that.

S'allright. Lots of more experience posters make that mistake. Gives me an excuse to bump the thread again!


We have a lot of thread views, but not many commitments.....If we don't get at least 21 signed up before July 1st, we may have to cancel! [/Threats]

 

[Phlebas]

You're actually getting a better response than I did either time I did it. So don't worry

The people who read the forum are a small fraction of TAM attendees. What is crucial is having a sign-up sheet prominently displayed at/near registration.

You can always cancel last-minute, although I think Poker Room Joe knows a guy who knows a guy...

Everyone sign up so hokulele's legs don't get broken!

 

[Hokulele]

They would have to catch me first.

Hey Horatius, what kind of beer should I bring this year? Not that you will get a taste of it...
