4/180 Challenge Season 2 Grand Championship Info Thread

[Sherman]

Alright, despite last night's debacle, we are all set for next week's Season 2 grand championship. Please use this thread for any questions you may have. I'll make a new "official" thread next Tuesday for the event itself.

When: Tuesday, September 4th @ 20:00 Stars Server Time (same time as the usual challenge).

Cost: Send $10 to MathMagic1 (Riverside) on Stars. Be sure I am in Riverside before sending. I'd prefer it if you waited until Tuesday to send me the $10. Just easier that way. This money will be in addition to the regular prize pool and will be paid out in standard challenge fashion depending on the number of entrants. Additionally, we have to pay stars $5.50, with $5 going into the prize pool. Just think of it as a $15 tourney with a $0.50 rake.

Who: Only those who won a 4/180 challenge in the previous season are qualified to enter.

Where:
The tournament is located under the private tournies tab on Stars. Registration is currently open. To get in, you need a password.

What's the password?:
Well we just can't let anyone in to this major event. PM me and I'll send the password your way.

So is next week's regular challenge cancelled?:
Hell No! The first challenge of SEASON 3 will begin next week at the regular time! I think I'll have whitcolumn run it as he has offered to take over for season 3.

Can I play in the championship and week 1 of season 3?:
Of course. It's only 5 tables.

Running home from work at 5PM PT to play a poker tourney really makes me feel like a degen.

BTW, MY PT database has you at a 2,980% ROI. How accurate is that?

And really, what $11 MTT did you finish 3rd in for like 1.6K?
