It appears that the $50k VIP freeroll might be continuing into the next year.

As of right now, the tournament lobby shows the 50k slated for January 5th.

What's slightly depressing is the prizepool didn't increase with the increase in the number of Supernovas and other VIP members that are playing the tournament.

The beginning of the year typically had 700-800 players in this tournament. Now we are seeing fields of close to 1200.

Of course, it's still possible that there will be some sort of change and the tournament they have listed will either get changed or drop off I guess.

What are your thoughts on this?

I would have thought it would have increased as well. At the start of the year there weren't half the people playing in the freeroll IIRC. Oh well

Maybe instead of increasing the prizepool they will just keep it the same and offer a small bonus for the players who wish to opt out. That way both options will be available, and the freerollers would be getting good value with the decreased participation in the tournament.

-----like a $25k or $35k car in the FPP store

Which one would you like to see?

[/ QUOTE ]



08 accord coupe. msrp apprx. 26K, very nice car imo.


08 subaru WRX coupe. MSRP 26K


08 Mustang gt MSRP 27K.

On the higher side I would like to see a g35 or 350z in the supernova store, but that would be on the higher side of the 35K range, and 08 vettes are in the 45 range... just my .02 as a Supernova, I earn enough fpps to buy a porsche, but really have no use for a car like that, but any of the above cars I would definately buy w/ fpps if i had the option.

the exchage rate for the cars is the best you can get. I could get $15/1k fpps via bonus exchage, $16.25/1k via concierge or $19/1k when buying a car thru PS. so for 3M fpps i could get a $60K porsche, or $45K cash.

Case Closed

Ya but I would think this is only because they have a special deal with porshe. If they don't have a deal with say a company like Ford you might not get as good of an exchange rate. I vote for Hummer by the way since I am getting ready to buy one [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Was there any decision about whether STEPS tickets could be transferred, i.e. from PCA to APPT?

Stars please put some non-turbo STEPS for APPT in your lower levels. The way you had it set up for PCA was perfect.

stars would more that likely be generous with their exchange rate if you're spending 1-3MM fpp's
