WSOP E Real Bracelet or Not?

[ncpokeresq]

I was not trying to incite an EU v. US fight, but perhaps if/when there is a WSOP Asia, then I will be immune from an accusation of racism, having questioned these bracelets and being of Eurpoean ancestry.
My own view is along the line of Zetack's. The WSOP is over, and the event in Europe simply is another tournament. If Harrah's decides to offer SNG's, with say a 10K buyin and 10K juice, and award "WSOP" bracelets to each winner do they count as legit bracelets?
My vote remains no, the WSOP is a once a year event, and only at that event can a real bracelet be awarded.

I really think the fact that the WSOP now runs twice a year less then three months apart really devalues all of the bracelets.

If we always said that the winner of a bracelet in WSOP is the World champion for that year , the WSOPE bracelet should'nt count as a bracelet . No way there's more than one World champion for each year, even on differnt buyins.
By the way i think this is a very important tournament , because of the tough field ( average strongest players ) and the deep buyin , and as ZJ said must be considered one of the best 5 tournament of the year ( longside EPT finals in mOntecarlo i think ).

For every game the WSOP has, the biggest buyin of that game is a championship event. None of the events in London are championship events.
