Shares For Bigger Events

what about for the Gukpt manchester and a side event?

[Colchester Kev]

Its all about demand Rick ... we have struggled to fill a 6 seater, sats to a sat are a bit of a mare to schedule on a single table basis ... and are not well attended ... trust me, i have put plenty on and always struggled to fill a table.

Like I said, if you or anyone can come up with a price structure that makes it popular and affordable for enough people to make it run, let me know.


what you have to remember also is that the winner would only get the seat and would have to fund his own expenses.

if you guys want it, I will put it on...

I can do 2 sats of 6 seaters to a final 6 seater if thats what you want. 1 through from each sat ... that would still need 4 paying full entry to the final.

If anyone has an idea of what buy ins etc that they want to play, please PM me with suggestions.

The one good thing about a sat to a final sat ,is that if we dont manage to find 4 full payers, you at least make a good profit from the original sat.

The Irish open is 4,500 euros total... so 6 x 750.   A sat into that being 6 x 125.

I think finding players at 125 would be OK...4 players at 750 could be the sticking point.

Something I'm sure you could extend online.  We run a 6 seater live "syndicate" for the Irish Open.  We meet each month, table our monies which go into the kitty and play a SnG.  The results of the SnG are converted to points and the 11 games worth of points are used in a formula to determine our chipstacks for the grand final (formula used doesn't ridiculously punish the short stack).  The grand final is played on a slower clock/blind structure of an evening (8 hours this year for the winner to win a 6 seater SnG ). 

The winner of the grand final represents the "syndicate" in the Open (with hotel/travel expenses too) and also keeps 25% of any winnings.  The other 5 members get 15% each of any winnings.

I'm sure you could extend this online via Kev for groups of players that are not geographically suited to play in a home game each month but are willing to build a roll each month for a representative to play in the bigger buy-in games.  The more members in the syndicate then you can either reduce the games buy-in or increase the "pay-out" (i.e. two people represent in the same comp or 1st plays in Open, 2nd place plays in £1k event elsewhere etc etc etc), but be aware you want to have a reasoanble/worthwhile % holding of anyone managing to cash in a decent event .  It could likely be as versatile as you all agree and once the initial pain of the setup/agreement is made it wil be a recurring theme easy to organise for Kev.  Could also tie-in the syndicates to blonde with goodies for the winner to wear/sport etc to advertise "blonde syndicates" or the like wherever the chosen event is the players are playing in.

If it took off and you had several syndicates rather than 1 big 1, then I'm sure you could even extend the idea(s) ad infinitem (syndicate v syndicate last longers etc etc etc

Just some random thoughts

Im up for a GUKPT one

[KarmaDope]

I would be also, but dependent on the figures...anyone got enough time to work out an example using stoneii's post and a GUKPT seat (which are $2,750 on BSQ).

How would the 'more points = more starting chips' work on Blonde?

Quite simply ... It wouldn't.

[UpTheMariners]

OK count me in. Not 100% I can play Manchester, but will worry about that after the sat !

Quite simply ... It wouldn't.

Ok, in it's most basic form "quite simply" it wouldn't but perhaps with a bit of ingenuity it could?. 

Some sort of points system that allows players free "add-ons" in the grand final - winner = x addon's, 2nd place x-1 - something like that.  I haven't really thought it through, not knowing the complexity's of online tournament setups etc, but didn't think it would be that instant a  non-runner.

was just throwing in ideas. If it's not a popular idea, or I've grossly underestimated effort then fair enough, my apologies Kev.

GL all
