Read on =4 that the dates are:

Oct 23 - Nov 9

Someone confirmed the dates......but seems a bit long, and ending on a Wednesday?

Apparently they've moved it up a few weeks due to the grey cup being in Vancouver.

Haven't seen a schedule yet.

If it really is that long, maybe theyve learned from past mistakes.

People simply wont travel for 1-2 events.

Put up a list with 6-8 events and you'll see a big increase in field size.

fyi.....I believe the $550 event sold out quick last year

anyone wishing to play should register at least a week in advance

probly have to quit my job to play this year (holidays have been nuked by Vegas)

that being said, I might try to make for the $550, as it's on a weekend

I am kinda pissed at the schedule..it's waaay too early. I was banking on mid November. Throws a wrench at the poker tour and seats for our players.

OK. Only this one time will I LMFAO at this. BCPC and BSPT...

Gonna have to say thats like apples waiting for oranges.

The schedule has everything else going for it. Other than your tourney directors, we both know 90% of BSPT players get slaughtered here...

DennisG

lol Jon, play nice!!

I don't care how they do (to a degree)...I just want to be able to give them the opportunity to play here..The seats make fantastic prizes

Yeah, not sure why they take so long to announce, especially when the dates are drastically different.....even just a notice saying it's likely to be a month earlier or something.

Don't hate on big slick =/

How much would the bountys be?

jontm

Macke, I love Big Slick, I had three locations here in Calgary. However, while I agree 100% with Dennis that it's an awesome prize for any player, BCPC and WSOP I have always thought to be way too big of a leap, also the COPC 5k (or 2k). The lure of the prestigious tournaments is definitely a motivator, but I think that putting more BSPT players into smaller tourneys would give them a better shot at $$$$. Usually, a lot of players are just starting to buy into casino after 3 seasons.

No disrespect to BSPT players, but BCPC is hands down considered one of the most difficult tournament fields in Canada, if even the more experienced are asked.

From a personal note, It is one tournament that even at $550 I don't think I would have a hope in hell and I can qualify for BSPT finals everytime playing a third of the games.
