World Series of PokerOwned Idea

Oooooo hahaha

[bmeelneg]

sounds good .... would be against the cap it idea though

This idea initially started out as a tournament of champions and I think that some emphasis needs to be placed on that. With 4 tournaments a day and an average of 30 days a month that is a possible 120 different winners. Even with potential multiple wins by players and/or some not showing up for the tournament you are still going to be guaranteed a a great turnout without having to cap or do anything too fancy. Pretty easy to get list of winners and say hey this is when the tournament is and this is the chip structure and what you can do should you win and become eligible. Winning should be held in the highest of regard.

- 5 chips every tourney played for a possible total earning of roughly 600 should you play most tournaments that month with the average being closer to 400
- 5 chips for every survey over 25 points for a possibly unlimited amount of chips but lets say potentially 2 a day would equate to about 300 more chips in a month
- 10 chips for every ITM and on average most make ITM about 25% of the time so that would equate to about 300 more chips in a month
- 50 chips for every win which you may get someone who breaks out and has 4 or 5 in a month for maybe another 200-300 chips but on average it will be more like 50-150

So here you are rewarded based on your overall monthly activity. I think if this tourney has a guaranteed starting stack of 1000-1500 with your average bonus stack varying from 500-2000 we would then have stacks ranging from 1500-4000 with an average tourney size of close to 50 players who earned entry by winning which is exactly where we want to be imo.

Doesn't get much simpler than that.

Sounds like an awesome idea and lots of fun.

Is there an entry into the tourney or is it a "bonus". Sounds like a good idea either way.

I have a better idea, that wont need carbon. Why not just have point buy in tournaments here and call it the wsopokerowned? You can have small buy in circuit events for say 1000 chips per buy in and a main event that can handle oh, I dont know, 5000 buy in a player. Massive bragging rights throught the year and an acknowledment on the site to main event winner and player of the season.

This sounds like a really fun idea for a tourney, i like how the chips are panned out.

I think this is a go...

Now I just need to figure out if theres any OTHER ways that we can reward users?

Or are we pretty set.

I also think we cap it for the top 50-75

[TrueOC]

also I dont think there should be a cap....more people the better

Yea I like it, My orginal idea of this was to have multiple tournys using points, but now no1 seems to have alot of points. I was hoping on having several events, and of course a Main Event...With a leaderboard and the winner gets a prize of some sort....I really would like to still have the Main Event a Point tournament like 2k buyin? its gotta be big....I like all your ideas but for the Main Event we gotta make it speocial....
