2007 TOC
Anybody know if there has been any announcement about the TOC next year. I see a circuit schedule, but nothing about the TOC or qualifying requirements.

Re: 2007 TOC
You need to win 3 circuit events, and be a big name pro. Also, you need to wear Harrah's branded apparel at every tournament, and sing their praises on a national media source. LOL

Re: 2007 TOC
I haven't heard anything about it, but I assumed that the WSOP Main event entry for the winner of the circuit events was a substitute for the ToC entry. The Main Event entry is worth a lot less than a ToC entry, but with the lower buy-in for the Circuit events and the lack of TV coverage, I guess this makes sense.

[/ QUOTE ] http://pokerbiz411.com/2006/07/31/harrahslowersfee.aspx Harrah's has put the TOC on indefinite hiatus while it evaluates the future of the TOC. Also note that Harrah's did NOT have a TV contract for the 2007 WSOP Circuit events as of July. The new TV contact between Harrah's and ESPN, which covered the 2006-2010 WSOP 7-week summer tournament series, does NOT include any other WSOP-branded event, including any of the WSOP Circuit events. You really, really need to read the poker business news articles I write, as those articlea are chock full of information that I consider to be essential knowledge for anyone who plays televised poker. I consider anyone who plays televised poker events to be more like an ENTERTAINMENT TALENT rather than a poker player. There are a lot of things that poker players/entertainment talent need to learn about the way the entertainment industry operates.

[/ QUOTE ] Oliver, I checked out your link, and then searched for articles you wrote. There are a whole bunch, and I went back and skimmed the ones from the last few months, but the only one I found that had anything to do with what you just wrote was one about several big name pros suing WPT. Can you link a few more articles that people planning on playing televised tournaments should read? Thanks.

Re: 2007 TOC
No the site nor myself have any affiliation with Harrah's and I dont have a problem calling out companies, however, when you make it a point to mention anything in a negative light in every post you make I become weary.

If only John was posting a way to steal from Harrah's, it would have definitely gotten your approval since they are a big bad corporation like ESPN.
