can you take cash if you don't want to play? If not can you transfer it to next year? I'm like 3 months shy of being 21 in july.

Event #1 has a prizepool of $69,400.
Each entry into the tournament costs 500fpp, or $7.95.
There has to be FEWER than 8,729 entrants for an overlay.

Event #2 has a prizepool of $113,760.
Each entry into the tournament costs 10000fpp, or $159.
There has to be FEWER than 715 entrants for an overlay.

Edit: Redid the math AGAIN.

Since we can not register players, the events will pay cash.

I think you over estimate how many players will play. Should be a nice overlay in each event.

With all due respect, these are nothing compared to the bazillion VIP FPP qualifiers from last year. I'm fairly sure there were four per week, 5 seats in Silver, 3 in Gold, 2 in Platinum and 1 in Nova, IIRC. It was certainly something like that, anyway. That's 11 seats per week. All qualifiers were 500 FPP and there were WAY WAY WAY less VIPs last year. They also ran for at least 6 weeks. It might have actually been more - I don't recall exactly. Basically, there was a LOT of VIP value in these tournaments last year (increasing with level) and there just isn't this year.

Like you say, there will definitely be overlay and we appreciate that, but it seems like things are quite devalued this year. It may be just my opinion. (Queue someone chiming in and saying, hey it's free don't complain). Except it's not, really.

There's also no difference for these tournaments between Silverstar and Nova, which is somewhat aggravating.

We're not paying for jessica0003's $100,000 are we? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
