** New Upgrade ** PokerOwned Madness

[Zab]

how come i lose to coin flip in the po madness on 8-1-2013 when i played in three tourneys.

BCP & Bovada don't count

Yes, it would be fun if we could bet on winners of the matchups. Have odds on each side. Good promo you have going here.

Good luck this week everyone!

I was a little skeptical at first, but now I think I like it.

[Rackinitin]

when do i play my madness game ? can anyone tell me

[gpahren]

Any of the Carbon, Lock, Juicy tournaments count toward Madness. Just play whenever works for you.

Hey Zab, how about having a link to a list of each week's winners? That way they get to be immortalized on PO.

[Victor7]

Wait, if we don't have an account on those what happens?

Question about seeding: I'm just wondering why I, as a 21 seed, have to play a 41 seed on day 1, while the number 23 seed gets a bye?

Thanks,
Greg

What is this?

I am sure you have all seen March Madness, and the "brackets". This is essentially just like that!! Each week, those people who 'opt in' will be seeded 1-64 depending on their PLAYER RATING SCORE from the previous week. The best rating will be seeded #1, the worst #64 (So 1 will play against 64 and so on).

*** As more people opt in AND your ratings scores change, the seedings will change constantly until Tuesday night at 00:01 the seedings will then be locked into place ***


How do I opt in?

From Tuesday - the following Monday the FIRST 64 people who pay 100 points will be entered into the tournament


Can I opt out once I opt in?

No, because we are seeding people constantly. Once you opt in, you are in it for the week


What do you mean I play against someone each day? What day does it start?

Round 1 is Tuesday (all 64 players are alive)
Round 2 is Wednesday (32 players left)
Round 3 is Thursday (16 players left)
Round 4 is Friday (8 players left)
Round 5 is Saturday (4 players left - The Final Four)
Round 6 is Sunday (Championship game against 2 players)

You will be seeded against ONE PERSON every day that you are still alive. The way we determine a winner is as follows in THIS ORDER:

1. First match both people play AGAINST each other. (Carbon, Juicy or Lock) Essentially would lasts longer in the tournament
2. Entire days player rating (Must have at least 2 games. Someone with a lower score that played 2 games would beat a guy who only played in 1) <-- We might change this to 1 at a later date
3. If neither player played, the current weeks player rating
4. If neither player played this week, coin flip

For example: If I was playing against Prawney, I played the 1:00 and he didn't play. Nothing happens yet.. We BOTH played in the 4:00 Carbon, whoever outlasted the other would advanced.

If NEITHER one of us played the same tournaments together, then we go to #2, #3 then last #4


What if 64 people don't sign up each week?

Then we will give byes to the top seeds. If only 60 people sign up, then the top 4 seeds will be given byes to the next round.


How much can I win?

1st place: 50% of the prize pool
2nd: 25% of the prize pool
3rd & 4th: 12.5% of the prize pool

How do I know the screen name of the person I am playing again?

Everyone's name is clickable on the brackets page, clicking it will take you right to their profile page showing you all their screen names.

What about a progressive prize pool, any chance for that or other ways to win?

• Yup.. I plan on eventually adding a back2back progressive prize pool.
• I also will likely do a 'low rollers' bracket, which will probably be a 25 point buy in. Perhaps even multiple ones of these where you could sign up in as many games as you want (So if we fill up the first one, then we'd do another and another and another)
• I also am considering the option down the road to "Fill out your brackets" where people could bet on who will advance, just like normal march madness brackets!

I am never going to win this thing lol... good luck all!
