Royal Cup of online poker...???

compuease

Do you think there would be enough interest in organizing one of these, similar to what we do live? To get enough players I would think $1. buyins with perhaps an additional $40-50 bucks per team (submitted to one trusted escrow person) which would be distributed to winning teams after the competition is over.. Think we could get 8-12 teams? I would be glad to try and organize over a period of weeks to get it done. I would think we want to keep the cost down to <$20. total per player...

I would do it but I doubt my schedule would fit -- I never am available to play the forum tournies so I doubt many tournies would be any different

Great idea, I just wonder about the chances of getting sit and go's scheduled so that it suits every player. Seems like it could be a nightmare.

Teams of 2 at the most. Each person must play 50% of the tourneys.

Not sure what the "Royal Cup" is, but I'd consider participating in a online team-based competition.

The RC is a team based tournament that takes place in Kitchener. There are anywhere from 8-10 teams of 8 players playing, many of them CPF members.

Each team member plays 3 SnGs then a HU match. Points are give to each player as they bust. The team with the highest points win.

There's been a few post about it here:

Thanks!

Sounds like fun.

I think it would work best with smaller teams. Say 2-4 people and you'd need an 'alternate rule'..at some point SOMEONE isn't going to be able to play for a valid reason.

DataMn and Kristy would just play together and no one else would have a chance.

This I agree with... way too hard to manage 8 player teams... And you are right we would need some sort of "alternate" rule...

Keep the suggestions coming folks, probably need at least 24 players, maybe 6 teams of 4 to make this viable...

Can we correct the over-value of NLHE HU that's always a problem in the IRL-Royal?

It just isn't worth that much.

I would play.

Personally, after last nights disastrous attempt at HU on my part I'd rather never see the letters H and U ever combined again.

Never did find out who PokerPilotKH was. Please don't tell me that Fed's new account is the one that took me out.
