Each team can be up to 6 players, however, only the top 4 performing players are awarded points

In the weekly online tournaments 50% of the prize fund will be paid out within 24 hours of the end of the tournament.

The other 50% will be put towards the live final team prizes with any excess added to the live final cash prize fund, (due to the special format of the tournaments the prizes will be paid out the following day.)

After the 16 week period each team will be allocated a starting chip stack for the live final, based on total team points accumulated during the online league play, for a live play off final at Star City Casino Birmingham.

Please spread the word among your friends as we want to make this as a big and successful as possible hopefully with a great prize pool of cash on top of the tournament seats and even bigger prizes in subsequent years.

so is sps puttin a team in????

will have to look at that

$320 per player entry fees multiplied by six players $1920 basic entry fees, not including rebuys and add-ons of $5, $10, $10 & $20.
Will the $1920 per team be paid upfront to ensure the funds are available at the end of tourney?

not sure if I'm in or not, will have to have a think... don't want to commit to playing 16 weeks if i cant!

Funds will not be paid upfront - you just enter each week online, and I suppose its up to your team captain to make sure everyone plays! What usually happens with these things is that teams doing woefully drop out, and a few teams lose a player or 2. Suppose just have to pick a good team!

Sharon and I will both play. If you sort a team out I'm sure we'll be in it. Forget the fact about committing to playing blah blah and funds up front - It's a great laugh, I don't give a chit about the prize and the live finals are always great. Brum is also a great casino for it with a fantastic weekend to be had.

Of course some will miss some weeks, but as long as you play a few you have a shot at the live final. If some want to add me to their team, feel free - if not I'm sure Sandy will be rallying the girlie's team!

This is just the Badbeat DreamTeam in disguise isn't it?
