    What site is this being held at?
  • QueenNineQueenNine
    My guess would be Supremepoker.com
  • Oni5000Oni5000
    Guess i'll have to get an account going there. This looks like fun and i'd love to play in the CSOOP.

    down mean to be a doubter and downer, but can you explain how the prize payouts equal the buyins? it doesnt seem to me like there is $3000 worth of prizes being paid out:

    CSOOP buyin - $100
    CPP subscription - $35
    Copag Card Set - $18 + shipping, be generous and say $30
    Tshirt - say $25


    assuming this:

    1st - $250
    2nd - $225
    3rd - $200
    4th - $175
    5th - $150
    Next 10 - $350
    Next 15 - $450
    Next 30 - $750

    TOTAL - $2550

    that's $450 short, assuming $12 shipping for the cards and $7 shipping for the shirts, which isnt unfair.

    Assume 60 players play.

    A typical online tournament (at the $50 buy-in level) takes 9.090909...% of the total buy-ins for the house. That's around $270.

    Another $50 since the CSOOP buy-in is $110, not $100. The CPP subscription is CDN$50, which works out to around USD$42. That accounts for another $50 + $70 = $120.

    This accounts for $390 of the $450 which is claimed to be short.

    First off, thank you Scotty.

    Joe:

    you're way off on cpp subscriptions. They are $50 a pop. Believe it or not, not a dime in discount.

    You're also off on shipping. Check Canada post. Unless it fits in an evnvelope, you're likely looking at around $6-10 per item. Know those neat little card guards that places have? If you want it to have a tracking number, it's $7.

    Any and all overflow (if any) is going towards seeding freerolls for this site. 
    let's not forget taxes either.

    I don't want to undermind the suppliers of the shirts and cards but I'll also say you're wrong on those.

    I was assuming the buy in was in USD, if not, then I take everything I said back. All the prices I quoted were pulled straight from the websites of the suppliers. The tournament rakes make sense.

    P.S. to Sloth I just want to make it clear as well that I wasn't meaning to suggest that you were trying to rip anyone off, just didn't seem like it added up right, thought there might have been a mistake or something, sorry if it came across that way.

    I noticed that the CPP website (incorrectly) lists the CDN$49.95 subscription fee as "approximately $35.00 USD", so that's likely where the confusion arose for that item.

    (As I mentioned, the retail value of the CPP subscription should be around US$42 or US$43 at today's rates.)

    So a forum on the everybody wins...but nobody shows up?? Ended up being me and another guy heads up. I emerged the victor but feel in alot of ways that I lost. I paid my $50 and now they have indicated to me that I won the satellite seat so worth $110. No free subscription, nothing else. If I wanted to play a heads up tourney I would get the $$$ (and yes lose some to the rake) that I can do as I please with.

    Needless to say I am none too pleased, nor would I be if I had had the unlikely misfortune to lose the heads up contest :D It is my impression that the site should have cancelled the tourney if less than say 9 or 10 people showed up...I signed up for supremepoker strictly for this tourney, thought it would be fun...but am not impressed and feel like I have lost out. I have emailed supreme twice and nobody seems to have a solution for me. Am I just being a baby? :'( a whiney poker player (I know, its a new concept!)

    I was part of the first "Everybody Wins" event. Of course I was none too pleased also. I emailede Sloth on the forum and he advised me there would be remuneration. I liked that he quickly advised me of this and if you look at the thread of the previous event he confirmed that the players who entered would be given a seat to the CSOOP ($110+$9) buy in event.

    However, I have not yet seen anything. Sloth please address this right away.

    Thanks,

    Gonzo

    Gonzo, can you not check your account and let me know?

    The everybody wins series has been cancelled herein due to lack of interest. If you have other concerns about this, please do not use the forum as a medium to do so, please email cleintservice@supremepoker.com
