    Seems to be similar to the Red Hot Poker Tour, which is sending a whole bunch of players to the WSOP this month.

    Well into my third round of adolescence now. ;) Still, I had figured that whole block would have been destroyed years ago and made way for the new expressway going through. Would have increased property values back then that's for sure.

    Hey Laszlo, how long are their seasons, I mean when do you get a crack at the big $10,000 seat and does only one person get a seat somewhere? I'm about to start my league in Sept and after 12 weeks, season 1, someone will be winning a prize with a value in the neighborhood of $3k to $4k. So if I were doing it once a year it would be $12k to $16k.

    It's ok Laszlo I found it all. Seems I was right, they have four feeder tournaments in a year, then there's only one big tournament per year and it's to the celebrity invitational not a 10k event, it's a 200k freeroll. They actually do give away a seat to the 10k Sports Legends event but no one plays to win it, it's a draw, for lack of a better phrase, out of a hat. It also seems that the winner will have to find his/her own way there and a place to stay. Wow, sucks to be that winner. lol and good luck at being that winner, odds are stacked against........

    1st: Van Nguyen - $125,500 2nd: Ethan Ruby - $50,000 3rd: Billy Baxter - $20,000 4th: Justin Marchand - $15,000 5th: Elias Madias - $10,000 T-6th: Debby Perkins - $2,500 T-6th: Beverley Kuskol - $2,500 8th Place "Bubble Babe" - Kimberly Lansing and that's all folks for the Celebrity Invitational. Gotta beat over 440 people here and they aren't WPTAPL players

    For the Sports Challenge seat you do have to be top point earner or have won the most events in your region to qualify for the draw. We have 6 regions x 2 entries = 12. Because the WPTAPL covers so much area its not feasible to get all the top players together. That's why the seat has to be drawn.

    We also give away many other prizes such as TVs, poker cruises, trips as well as nightly prizes.

    We are doing so good at the Fox and Fiddle in Guelph that they have decided to add another night.
    Starting October 8 we will be there on Thursdays as well, 7:30 pm start.
