Scott posted this in his forum, and it got me to thinking. I was talking to the Kid about it the other night, ad we figured it would be worth a thread in BYOC to see who else would be interested.
This is to put together a WSOP 2006 satellite tournament in our home games. We talked about this last year for the main event, but it never got to page 2 of the discussions.
This would be for entry into one of the smaller WSOP events, like the $1500, $2000, or $2,500 event, not the main event.
I'd like to see something around a $100 buy-in. We usually have up to 18 to 20 people in the larger tourneys that are hosted, so this number could work. If it were smaller, then we could run this in several lower buy in tourneys at lower stakes (say $50) to build the final table.
So, if there's 20 players, there would be $1,500 WSOP buy-in for 1st place, and award 60% for 2nd and 40% for 3rd of any remaining money.
If we ran this in a multi table manner, I would say we do 3 tourneys. $50 to $100 buy in. Take the top 3 from each one, which would round out a final table of 9 players. The winner of the final, goes on to the WSOP.
OK, so here's the table share idea. Anyone who makes the final 9 players in this satellite will be entitled to table share of the prize money at the WSOP if the winner of the satellite finishes in the money. I'm thinking the satellite winner gets 84% of any WSOP prize money he wins and the other 8 final table players each get 2% (16% / 8 remaining players).
Yes, going out in 10th place would really, really suck. Going out on the bubble usually does.
I think we would need a lot more planning and documentation to outline the details and a pretty solid agreement between the final table and the winner who goes to play the WSOP event in Vegas. Since the WSOP winners list is published, it can be validated what he wins.
The idea behind having a table share payout is that it encourages people to play this satellite because if they lose it gives them a sort of 2nd chance by having their dog in the fight at the WSOP.
What do you guys (and gals) think?
