Sounds like Party overestimated the people that would cruise...Originally the prize pool was estimated over 10 million, then dropped to 8, 7, 5, now 4 million.

So you've gotta finish top 15 in all 6 freerolls and you have to play 1000 raked hands the day before each freeroll?

Sounded like they were giving away a total of 90 cruises, the top 15 for each freeroll gets the cruise.

Knowing Party, you have to be in the top 15 for every single freeroll. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Who would want to go on the cruise without a tourney entry?

Once I get the email I'm going to respond that they should cut the number of prizes and award full packages. I encourage others to do the same even though our prostetations will be routed through the "people who pretend not to speak English so they don't have to listen to you" department.

The cruise kicks ass. There are cash games going round the clock and Holland America is a great cruise line. I would highly recommend trying for this despite the fact that it doesn't include a PPM entry.

The first freeroll is during the superbowl. Great scheduling.

Is the competition in the cash games closer to live competition or online competition?

Same for both limit and NL competition?
