Chalk me up for a seat. 2 things:

1. What exact time can I start playing? 12 am Eastern?

2. "to reach the target and send an email to [email protected] will be awarded a seat" Points arent updated in realt time are they? DO you just start spamming them that you made it for the last 10 hours or whatever...

Thanks

How long do you think it will take? 60 hours of 10/20 6max?

The people that 8-12 table the 109, 215 and 530 speed tourneys are gonna pwn this promo.

[DING-DONG YO]

Just wanted to make sure you weren't home alone for the holidays, Bob. Wasn't trying to dig at you.

Nuthin but luv.

[MicroBob]

no probs. I just happened to luck-out on that one in that I had nothing going on over the holidays...whereas many of those who might have been interested obviously had other obligations.



this weekend (if I decide to go for it) I've got French Open tennis beginning around 4am, world-cup soccer at around 11:00am I think, and then baseball or NBA stuff at night.
Good weekend for something like this.

If I had gotten my degree this month, I probably would have gone for it. As it is, I think I'd rather focus on graduating.

MicroBob & the rest of us considering 10-tabling limit tables to do this promo,

I think I just convinced myself I have Zero shot at being one of the 1st 30.

1) Read this in the STT forum:
30 random high stakes sng player will complete this within the first 2 days.

killing yourself trying to get it done in 5 or 6 days is silly.

citanul

2) Read this on the Party "how to earn points" page

Tournaments that have $40 - $59 fees Participants in these tournaments will be awarded 85 PartyPoints
Tournaments that have $60 or more fees Participants in these tournaments will be awarded 100 PartyPoints

3) Realized that Gold SNG players who 10-table SNGs can earn about 1500-2000 regular points/man-hour.

4) Realized that even if there aren't 30 high-stakes STT players doing this, my estimated 500 points/man-hour (I'm Silver) will likely be way short of the rate I need to get this done.


Best of luck to you Bob and anyone else who tries, but looks like I'm quitting before I begin [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I agree that the high level tourney players can do this quicker but they only play tourneys with fees of 9,15, or 30 at most. So they get a lot of points but not quite as much as above.

Yup you're absolutely right Davey- my bad.

Unfortunately...
Tournaments that have $26 - $39 fees Participants in these tournaments will be awarded 70 PartyPoints
(so 140 per for Gold)

Throw in the fact that Gold STTs can probably play 10-15 Speed tourneys an hour and sadly, they're still able to easily clear 1,400-2,000 regular points / man-hour. I'd think there's quite a few STTers who can hit their 25,000 points before Friday night.

Even though you're right it's not as bad as I said, I think I'm still not going to try now. It would have been a sick kind of fun (sort of like trying to hit EVERY PokerStars 5B milestone hand), but fun.

any thoughts on whether they really limit it ot the first 30 players who complete this? during the cruise promo, this was talked about a little. we never heard from anyone who completed and was denied from what i remember.

They said so in the email, so I'm not going to risk it.

Don’t let this one pass you by: Only the first 30 VIPs to reach the target and send an email to [email protected] will be awarded a seat, so get earning those PartyPoints*** now.
