Any one ever do this.
10 guys
12 months
$100 a month
monthly tourney with some sort of point system
$10000 for WSOP + $2000. hotel air fare ect.
Written contract with 10 players saying they'll pay $100 a month, spilt winnings, at WSOP 10 ways... if any.

What do you think.

Thats an awesome idea....

so what happens when player X is statistically eliminated or doing poorly by month 7 and doesnt want to play anymore?

smarter thing to do is $200 a month, with $100 going to WSOP pool and $100 going to a prize pool for that month's tournament. that way there's always something to play for.

Why not go for 10 x $1,000 super-sat entry? There'll be more of you, you'll get a good shot at winning a seat and even if you don't you'll all have a good flavour of the experience??

Some people dont want to play anymore if they have no shot at winning at the end, so id rather do the 100+100

Go $150-$200 a month, anything beyond $1200 goes 60%/40% to 2nd and 3rd place. That covers shorter tourneys (8 players @$150 = full $1200 for first, nothing for 2nd) and at $150 buy-in for 10 players, 2nd place gets $180, 3rd gets $120

Contract- Player gets 40-50% of WSOP winnings, after buy-in recoup. Other contract members split the other 50-60% of the remainder.

Wins $25k, player gets $12K+8k, other 9 people split $5k

What kind of point system do you have in mind, to determine the WSOP lammer winner?

I don't think it should just be most wins... but you'd have to make sure that someone who finishes 2nd or 3rd in every tourney doesn't get to claim the WSOP lammer, I think.

We do this with bonus pool quarterly and assign points in reverse order, first out gets one point, second out gets two etc...

Player with the most points at end is winner.

Someone who finishes second or third in every tourney should go if they accumulate the most points. You want the most solid consistent winner to go to ME, not the guy that donked into two wins and was in the first few out every other time.
