PoY Points:

TO BE FINALIZED... CURRENTLY ROUGH NUMBER

I'm not sure exactly how to award points here as awarding points for an 81 person tournament seems a bit much for a double-shootout.
Basically, the idea is that we award the final table 1st - 9th, points based on an XX person tournament. For the pre-lim, 2nd-4th(ish) would also get awarded points. (Obviously, since you can play multiple pre-lims, only the high score you achieved would apply.) Here's a sample.

Finals: 1-57 2-41 3-33 4-29 5-26 6-23 7-22 8-20 9-19
Pre-lims: 2-17 3-16 4-15 5->9-0

This tournament is comprised of 9, 9-player games SnG's where the winner of each Pre-Lim Event, wins a ticket to the Final Table. If you lose a Pre-Lim match, you may immediately sign up for any game with open players, meaning everyone gets multiple shots at the Final Table.

If less than 9 players play, (due to last minute cancellation), the $20 "replay" awards for 2nd/3rd are removed first, so that the same amount of money goes to the final table.

To sign-up, you MUST indicate the events that you are free to play, and you will be added, in order of sign-in up, to the earliest date you can make that still has seats open. Once you play your match and, if you lose, you may then immediately sign-up again, by posting a new response to this thread, with a new set of events that you can make.

If you simply sign-up by saying, "I'm in!" I will laugh heartily at you and you will be not get a seat. Saying something like, "Sign me up: Event#2,3,4,7,8" is perfectly fine, and assuming there's room, you will likely get a spot at event #2.

Once a tournament is full, if "Zithal" is not in the game, I'm opening that Pre-Lim to be hosted outside Bristol Street at locations I trust or have heard good things about in the KW Area. Please indicate, when signing up, if you can offer to host a game. (This will help me run other events, over the summer season) Obviously, the Finals will be hosted at Bristol. If a non-Bristol Pre-lim is held, it is the responsibility of the winner to bring the cash from that event to the Finals. Off site tournaments must be within the KW area.

With the Date of the Events pre-chosen, participation in the tournament means that you ARE free for the Finals. If you win a ticket, but have to miss the finals, you will be awarded 9th place money and your chips will be removed from the table.

Any other clarifications needed?

Last year we did a short-handed shootout and it seems to work well, so I'm interested in seeing if this works just as good!
