Sketchy GTD? Thoughts?
This was recently brought up and I'm curious what community thinks:
http://www.casinoabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/10th-Annual-Poker-Championship-Poster1.jpg
It says $400,000 Guarantee all nice and prominent, then has some terms of needing 600 players for GTD to be in effect.
This used to say estimated based on 600 players for past events. Deerfoot put a gtd on their first event this week so obviously a little competition between Alberta venues with over lapping dates.
What do players think? Is this sketchy?
I know how an overlay would work on an event, bug how do you cover on a series?

But that is completely misleading to a random fish (ie. GTA/Wetts, etc)
- terminology is vague, they can easily retract the guarantee and say not every event had 600 players....or that it wasn't 600 unique participants, no clear criteria
- it's impossible to have such a guarantee on a tournament series. If 600 participants criteria is met, but the prize pool is less than the $400k, how exactly are you going to divide the overlay? Should they divide the money by each tourney? How are you going to pay all the players that cashed event one and left town?
