30K Tour Finals, who's in?
- Thread starter D_Lewis
- Start date
I will be there. Added money always gets me off the couch. lol. Besides, Bigwigs is a great room with great owners. see you all there.
I am 50/50. I don't really like the way hes running it. Takes half your action, and on top of that if you get into the money and you owe penalties, it goes straight into his pocket. It should go back into the pot/prize money.
This is of course if you have not played in over 13+ events. Very few people will have the required amount of stops without any penalties. Ill definitely be there watching I know that.

Well It should be intresting to see what happens. Im gona ask him why hes doing it in this manner. Even if im not playing. Most people are not going to want to pay the penalties.
And think about it. There are no more than 10 guys that won't get any penalties. If someone comes in 1st and had willie be his banker he just lost $4000.00 dollars lol. Oh and penalty costs hehe.

It doesn't sound to me like the best deal except as a player you get to take a free shot at some money.
I'm not sure how much of the penaly money goes into the prize fund if any at all anyway.
One thing I do like is that your 404 events will also count toward your total events.

I played in 5 total events including the 404. Lets do a little discouraging math for me. haha.
$45 entry
50% of the left overs.
So if I finish say 9th, I get $400.
-300 penalty
so basically I get $50? Half of the left over money? So I won $5 by finishing 9th. Imagine if I had to play as an 8, Id be losing money to finish top ten.
say EVERYONE that makes the money uses the banker option, does Willy pocket $10,000?
After going over the tournament info again, its looking worse and worse.
"The player will pay His/Her entry fee as usual plus the stop fee, if the player doubles his entry fee He/She will play in the finals and all prize money the player may win will first go to paying the remainder of the penalty fees only (no interest or fees) and the balance will be divided 50/50 between the “banker and the player”.
So, lets run this again,
Say I enter with my $35 +$5 fee. then double it.
$80
then by chance I finish 4th $1000
So, I lose $300 for penalties and then 50% of everything else?
so instead of $1000 the payout is $350???
Where does the 50% go?
Say every spot in the money is won by a player that is using the banker option, does that mean that $10,000 will be going out of the tournament fund?

Let's just say there are only 64 players. Estimating that 32 have no penalties.
So the average entry is $75 x 32 = $2400
Plus we have the other 32 paying double entry + penalty. $150 + $300 x 32 = 14400
So the total money coming in is 16800? It's $20,000 guranteed so he is adding $3200 of the money he took over 40 events.
Maybe I have it wrong but it's what it looks like on paper and that's what happens when you're not forthecoming about what money goes where.
By the way I'm all for someone getting paid to run something but I think there is a responsiblity to be accountable to the players so they can make an informed decision to support or not.

I am really glad that the tournament got going finally. Im glad its over and I hope it never comes back.
I played a few events, as a 5, didnt do too well at them. Called to find out about playing in the finals, just to have something to do and was informed that because I was short events that I had to pay $550 to play and play as a 9+. Awesome.

I guess you need 5 events played minimum to keep your handicap. Not to mention the penalties. It costed me $340.00 to enter.
