Thought I'd start a new thread for those playing in the FPC next week.
I'll start off - I drove to Niagara today to register for Day 1B of the $1,100 tournament (Monday). Went down with my better half to register and have lunch. Played a little craps while there and managed to raise $300 towards my buy-in! Let's hope the luck continues next week.
Just an FYI re the buy-in and rake. The website and brochures all advertise the $1,100 as being $950 + $150, implying $950 goes to the prize pool. Check your tournament buy-in receipt if you register and you'll notice that the buy-in (contribution to prize pool) is actually only $921.50, the administrative fee is $150 and there is a "player fee" of $28.50. In other words the rake is 16.2% of the $1,100, not 13.6% as you might have thought.
Edit: FYI, my registration shows me as "entry number 626", which I presume means there are at least 626 entries so far. Not sure if that means for Day 1B only or both Day 1's.
