Did you get many runners?

pokerscene

56 runners i think played this good tournie great structure with plenty of play, well done JP. Another boardster took it down Paul Byrne [Byrne1] first prize 1400 + Ticket to deep stack game.

I don't mean to nitpick (I just enjoy it) but there is a reg fee, which is fine and not bigger than expected. I just find it confusing to put '100% prize pool paid out', its not a freebie tournament... there is a fee.
Best of luck with this tournament.

.... I don't know where to begin on that comment goodluck2me

this seems to be the norm when advertising event, you show the prizepool and then a separate reg fee. some companies however take money from the prizepool (celtic poker tour) whereas others like JP rightfully dont. its hardly that confusing surely??

It seems to be how most tournaments on boards are advertised, it just isn't much use.

That '100% prizepool' payout line makes it sound like they aren't taking any costs (which they are entitled too, do not get me wrong!), it looks better to write '100%', but in reality, it should say 75%are pay out. (I think, maths not too strong today).


In a hypothetical situation, I could charge (I'm using extremes) 1000e reg fee, and leave 100e as a prizepool and then write '100% PRIZE POOL PAID OUT', by this logic.

Goodluck2me

yeah exactly as long as you told everyone before only 100 was going to the prizepool, im sure there woudlnt be many runners though, unless the structure was gg-rreat! lol.
its just to stress the relavnce of all the prizepool paid out. another thing it might realte to is that it also means tickets arent used as prizes, which is a point i missed before but is important.

lol, I could it make it the slowest structured tournament in the world?! ... it would be worth it to collect the 1000% percent reg fees

Good point, had forgotten this. Though if any of the prizepool wasn't cash, I would hope it would state it loudly

JP Poker

To avoid confusion I will not use 100% prize pool paid out again. But instead, state as I did in this thread the amount going towards prize pool (percentage, if any, held back for tickets, this was not shown in my original thread), amount going towards scalp and amount kept as reg fee.

On a lighter note 58 players played this game with the prize pool being broken down as follows.

1st Paul Byrne €1400 & €150 Ticket to my monthly deepstack game
2nd Thomas Tighe €750 & €150 Ticket
3rd Ces Walsh €450 & €150 Ticket
4th Brian Palmer €300
5th Alan Fitzpatrick €250
6th Niall Skelly €200
7th David O'Reilly €175
8th Lloyd Ryan €150
9th Warren Hanningan €125

League €100
Best hand €50
Scalps €580
