4/180 Challenge Tonight at 8:00 PM EST
 

So OT is in 4/180 challenge retirement. I'll be running this for a while so long as I don't forget. (BTW, I changed my 2+2 SN; used to be Shermn27, now just Sherman). Anyhow here goes!

When: Tuesday, May 29th, 2007 @ 8:00pm EST

All members must register for the next FOUR 4/180s on PokerStars AFTER 8:00pmEST (20:00 Server time). If a tournament has less than 20 regged at 20:00 then that tournament will be the first one. I will post in this thread when we are starting.

Cost: Please send $10 to MathMagic1 on Stars. (be sure I'm in Riverside before sending.)

Scoring: Same as last week:

Missed tourney = 0 points
180-150th = 0 points
149-120th = 0.5 points
119-100th = 1 point
99-80th = 2 points
79-60th = 3 points
59-40th = 4 points
39-30th = 5 points
29-20th = 7 points
19th = 9 points
18-15th = 10 points
14-10th = 12 points
9th = 15 points
8th = 17 points
7th = 19 points
6th = 21 points
5th = 24 points
4th = 27 points
3rd = 30 points
2nd = 35 points
1st = 40 points

Wins and final 3's are HUGE in this stucture. Tie breakers go as follows.

1st tiebreak - Total Monies Won
2nd tiebreak - Highest Finish
3rd tiebreak - 2nd Highest Finish

If tied after that it is chopped

Payout structure is the same as last week.

Payouts:
- Less than 10 = 1st-100%
- 10-19 = 1st-80%, 2nd 20%
- 20-29 = 1st-60%, 2nd-30%, 3rd-10%
- 30+ = 1st-50%, 2nd-25%, 3rd-15%, 4th-10%

So who's in?

Season one was exactly 26 weeks - half a year.

We were itching for a tournament of champions, so that's why we decided on 26 weeks. Was somewhat arbitrary, but it seemed to work.

Not playing tonight - gotta catch a plane early tomorrow morning, so sleep > poker...

GL all...

Re: 4/180 Challenge Tonight at 8:00 PM EST
 

probably in for both tiers

will know for sure by 7:45pm

Any interest in a "baller" tier....say 50 bucks?

There used to be three tiers in the 20/180 challenge, so if we're having 2, why not 3?

Re: 4/180 Challenge Tonight at 8:00 PM EST
 

I'm in, shipping the monies now...

if you guys set up an AOL Chat my name is Bramafide

Thanks

Re: 4/180 Challenge Tonight at 8:00 PM EST

I'll do a $20 tier as well, how many can we get?

Re: 4/180 Challenge Tonight at 8:00 PM EST
 

I'm tentatively in (always wanted to play this, but Tuesday night sucks for me.) Dunkster on stars, tier 1 shipped, I may do another we'll see.

Re: 4/180 Challenge Tonight at 8:00 PM EST
 

sherman would you be willing to hold the money for any additional tiers as well? i'd be down for a $50 so if possible let's do 3 tiers $10, $30, $50. if not two tiers are fine $10, and $30. if sherman doesn't want to hold the $ i can hold it, or if someone else wants to that's fine. btw i'm def playing, just waiting to send the money until i know whats goin on with the different tiers.

Re: 4/180 Challenge Tonight at 8:00 PM EST
 

I'll do a $20 2nd tier like you said before, not a $30 though

Re: 4/180 Challenge Tonight at 8:00 PM EST
 

In for the first time. Need to take a break from grinding.

Do I just send money to sherman now?

yep that's fine. if u want to do any additional tiers $30 or $50 hold of alil bit thoughnuntil we figured out who's gonna hold the money ok

Re: 4/180 Challenge Tonight at 8:00 PM EST
 

AAPlayer,

Dont you play a lot of 20/180's?

I dont have a problem with you holding the money, assuming we get 5 players in tier 2 thats only 5 buy-ins for you, not really worth stealing IMO, so I would definitely trust you with mine.

Re: 4/180 Challenge Tonight at 8:00 PM EST
 

Sherman, I shipped (Omahahahagal)

Re: 4/180 Challenge Tonight at 8:00 PM EST
 

sent

Re: 4/180 Challenge Tonight at 8:00 PM EST
 

yea any amount i'd be holding would be very small relative to my roll so no worries i won't run of with it, that being said, i'd prefer it if sherman would hold it since he is in charge of this. if he doesn't want to i can hold it.

edit: just $10 to sherman, still waiting to hear from him regarding tier 2+3 moniess

Yes this is correct.
If you want tier 1 only, $10.
Tiers 1 and 2 is $30.
Tiers 1, 2, and 3 is $50.

I was saying 50...separate from the other 30....so 80 total.

But, that was only suggestion...
