 WHITELIST

..SPREADSHEET..

[Leahized]

- $5 bounty reward for each player you eliminate from top 20 players.

Since top 20 people are reward $5 for every eliminate. That means total eliminate bounty 20*5 = $100. If there are 21 or more participants, will the rest of the entry fees be added to the grand final reward pool?

And if a player buys tickets for more than one grand final, ie: 2 or 3 tickets. And due to his good hand if those tickets are not used before the end of 10th level. Will that unused ticket price be refunded?

No refund of the purchased tickets. I think I have mentioned it somewhere.

Here is how the grand final prize pool will be calculated:

- A GUARANTEED prize pool of $1500 is allocated
- Top 10 place will share the prize pot.
- The 6 group round winners will join FREE using their earned tickets
- To join the grand final, one need to buy ticket. One can purchase up to 3 tickets and can rejoin until the 10th level of the game in case they are out from the table.
- Each ticket will cost $50 and there are no refund will be issued. I will announce the opening of ticket selling after the 6th round game.
- If we can sale a minimum 10 tickets then we will add additional $1,100 with the prize pool to make the final pot $2,600
- If we can sale a minimum 20 tickets then we will add $2,100 instead of $1,100 with the prize pool to make the final pot a massive $3,600!

When does the whitelist registration close?

[AHOYBRAUSE]

Nice event and pretty Asia friendly starting times of the tournaments, which is nice. Had to stay away from most events because of the starting times which was often around 1-3am in my timezone. Obviously that's too late since each tournament might go until like 3 hours or so, basically ends when the sun is up already.

Anyway, let's see if i can play, will certainly try and once I know will enter my name to the whitelist (hopefully in time).

[GxSTxV]

It’s something you have first started, and you are always the one bringing the best rewards. I will definitely join the tournament and also I want to offer my help for organization, recording or anything that I can do to make it a successful event.

The entry fees will restrict so many abusers but not all of them, so I think we should all report any suspicious behavior and Royse can investigate and ban any abuser.

When does the whitelist registration close?

I think it should be before the first game starts, but I think setting a deadline like a day before it even start will be best to see who's really gonna play seriously in this. I'm just waiting on the actual amount of BTC to be sent and will pay forward to secure it. It was already updated on G&R board the actual BTC to be sent for whitelist, just checked it.

Yeah loving it and I think almost of Royse poker events usually starts within this time and not surprised at all but let's see if there will be changes along the way. A 1am start time will be a headache and considering it's a long game, that will deprive your sleep. However if it's in my case and I'm committed I think I'll plan it beforehand like sleeping early then wakeup on that moment because it's not that it's regular thing, it can only be done once a week though.

Also curious when is the deadline with this actually I might consider joining as I miss poker.

It seems you are joining this event kabayan! Im still 50/50 will decide probably early next week. I like poker too and love the platform will be used. I remembered when memehunter always got a tournament like this.

I think magkaisa will join this definitely. Cross finger that I can join this too.

I do and will likely not gonna miss this. This is probably the huge tournament for this year and there's a lot at stake to miss tbh. Well, meme will probably join and hope so, it's getting lively when he's on the table whether just doing it to bluff or getting serious, love that man. Don't promise brother, make it by getting whitelisted, the time is favorable plus some of the folks that likes poker and a hangout will join. It's a healthy competition.

Did you already sent the one time whitelist fee already mate? Kinda confuse with some information like can join all set of rounds right when you paid the whitelist fee? The ticket discuss $50 was that segregated from the whitelist fee? Let see bro Im still in huge financial commitment due to my personal situation these past month if youre aware which was shared in our local and hope can salvage funds for this.


Btw do you also having this security message when accessing pokernow?


Im always joining pokernow free tournaments from discord projects but never triggered with this.

Not yet, but soon. Yes you can, it's just $30 across 6 round games. The $50 was the ticket for grand final, it's a separate fee from the whitelist but that's optional. If you're not interested you won't be able to join the grand final but if you do you'll earn a seat. Yeah, I'm aware and sorry for that hope you can raise a good amount. I think this can only happen with a certain network provider, got an issue with it having my network data in TNT. I'll be using a VPN for the time being I guess when have this kind of problem. I used a VPN right now and it's all good.

[Agbe]

Btw do you also having this security message when accessing pokernow?

Are you using public configuration of your connection? Because this message comes up when the browser found the website unsafe. And I just visit the pokernow website and everything went well. I think you have to check your connection too. Probably the device you were using for the other pokernow were different from this current device or there is change in connection. You can change device or check your internet connectivity.

AB de Royse777, I appreciate u for bringing the project here.

[len01]

It's a simple fix. Go to your browser settings and change your DNS to access PokerNow.

[AB de Royse777]

We planned to make some changes and it will be reflected on the ann soon.

- Instead of top 20 players now the $5 bounty will be applied for all players.
-  For the grand final any additional unused tickets will be refunded.
- We made changes on grand final prize structure too. 1st place will receive $1000 and the 10th place will receive $180.

Hey Royse,

this is an amazing update and just a few comments on this:

The $30 whitelisting fee gives you access to all six qualifier tournaments in which you can win

- $5 per every knockout
- $200, $120, $80 finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd, respectively.
- 1 free ticket for the grand final worth $50

Important note: there can only be one free ticket for the grand final per player. If you finish 1st in two or more of those qualifiers, you will still win the cash prize ($200), but the additional grand final ticket will go to the next rank that has not yet won a grand final ticket.

Furthermore, all your knockouts will be documented in a public excel sheet and you will have to count your knockouts and submit them via a form that will be provided here as soon as the first qualifier will be kicked off. After those six qualifiers, you can decide whether you want the knockout bounties to be paid out, or you can use your knockout bounties as partial or full payment for grand final tickets, depending on how many bounties you collected.

I think this is a very good way to handle everything because it gives you a lot of flexibility until the end of qualifier round 6 and vast upside potential this poker series. If you have a few good runs, you could essentially be in profit with knockout bounties only even when you pay for a grand final ticket. So I encourage everyone to play all the six qualifier rounds that you will be whitelisted for upon payment of the $30 fee (as said before, this fee is not refundable or partially refundable, but grants you access to all six qualifiers).

We will go with this now, but if there is anything crucial you would like to point out, feel free to do so. As Royse mentioned, 1st prize is guaranteed $1,000 and 10th prize is guaranteed $180. See OP for full distribution. And please read this post again before it gets lost here:

We planned to make some changes and it will be reflected on the ann soon.

- Instead of top 20 players now the $5 bounty will be applied for all players.
-  For the grand final any additional unused tickets will be refunded - up to three can be bought and be used until lvl 10 in the tournament.
- We made changes on grand final prize structure too. 1st place will receive $1000 and the 10th place will receive $180.

Enjoy guys!

As Royse mentioned, 1st prize is guaranteed $1,000 and 10th prize is guaranteed $180. See OP for full distribution.

Thanks MV. The full prize structure can be seen on the translation draft topic.

 GRAND FINAL PRIZE DISTRIBUTION
Considering we will achieve the minimum 20 tickets in the grand final. In that case, the total prize pool is $3,600.

• 1st winner 30% = $1,000
• 2nd winner 15% = $545
• 3rd winner 10% = $420
• 4th winner 6.4% ≈ $345
• 5th winner 6.4% ≈ $290
• 6th winner 6.4% ≈ $240
• 7th winner 6.4% ≈ $210
• 8th winner 6.4% ≈ $190
• 9th winner 6.4% ≈ $180
• 10th winner 6.4% ≈ $180

The update information has already been sent to ANN designer and once I get it, I will update the original ANN

All of this looks good to me and $1000 is big!! I think this is the biggest prize money we played for. Was the prize pool for the series hosted on SwC last year like this? Thank you for making this possible and I hope there can be more poker games in the future.
