    $1,000,000 9-Ball Shootout... discussion

    payout structures... If anyone is interested, you can visit our website and see the payout structures as well... The payouts do go deep, rather than being top-heavy (which imo, poker is WAY too top heavy, especially considering the amazing amount of luck required to win a big tourney) Our...

    $1,000,000 9-Ball Shootout... discussion

    Thanks! I think your plan is a good one.. I actually have a plan like that set up as well, I just need to get the info on the website and then start to get places to implement it. It works almost like an inhouse league, every 13 weeks someone will win an entry into the event... I will probably...

    Backer Wanted for Million Dollar Challenge - Mike Davis

    Money issues... The largest paying event, the World Series of Poker, main event has over 7000 entries. The Rio has TAKEN $600 FROM EVERY PLAYER. That is $4,200,000. Thats 4.2 million. That is just their take. That is just for this event, which is only 1 out of 55 or so "World Series" events...

The Rio has TAKEN $600 FROM EVERY PLAYER. That is...

    Backer Wanted for Million Dollar Challenge - Mike Davis

    There is money built into the satellite formats for promoters... A 32 player $200 entry fee event allows for 1 entry into the main event, $400 for 2nd, $200 for 3rd and 4th each... then: $200 for the promoter and $200 for the location. It is tough to provide money for the organizer at the...

    Backer Wanted for Million Dollar Challenge - Mike Davis

    Thanks for pointing all of this out. This is precisely what we are trying to achieve. Although we would prefer that people don't have a bare-knuckle fight for the entry fee :) The point is correct, we want the average player to be able to qualify into this event for $25 or $50. This is VERY...

    Backer Wanted for Million Dollar Challenge - Mike Davis

    Cool, thanks! Also, just an fyi for some people.. I was just speaking with my dad, and he told me several players have offered to pay their entry fees already but he told them to hold onto it and just bring it with them and register on-site. He did this to allow players not to have to tie up...

    You got it... Yes, you are right, the prize fund will be diminished if we do not reach a full 200 player field, and it is very likely that we wont reach the full field... However, we will have an event, and the players that have paid to play, or won satellites, or obtained a sponsor - they...
