    Why have abreviations?

    WSOP World Series Of Poker
    KWSOP  Kitchener Waterloo Series Of Poker
    WPT World Poker Tour

    The big name and the big names for the venues for the KWSOP (park street poker pit, Poker cave, and bristol even has casino in the name) are what got us in troubl;e in the first place.  it's what got the wrong people attention.

    how about not using the word POKER???

    and i knwo this is gonna sound dumb, but i dont even knwo what the original ryder cup was for.  isnt that a good thing for what we're doing here?

    The Super Bowl is the same.  it's not the super bowl of football is it?  that just sounds dumb.

    lets find an original name thats discrete. 

    But hey, if anyone doent liek that idea, just say so.

    thanks guys,
    Johnny

    How about Champions Cup of the Ontario Poker Series

    OR for those of you, like Johnny, who LOVE acronyms...

    You can't really name it Ontario or anything though considering we represent a small % of poker players in Southern Ontario, let alone Ontario. How about something the revolves around the forum itself?
  • stpboystpboy
    This, at one point, could turn into an Ontario or a Canadian wide thing. Might as well shoot for the stars I'd say.

    Any title with "Grudge Match in it is a fun title.

    There already is a "Grudge Match." It makes it sound like a wrestling event. Yes Mark, I know you'd love that, but some of us HATE wrestling.

    How about the Trilluim Cup, Hiway401 SOP, The Ontario Team Main Event (OTME), or whatever.

    Do you guys remember when the Canadian Alliance party came up with a new name, and the acronym was CRAPP (I think)?  

    Well, what if we called it the Playoffs Of Ontario Poker.  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh I love it. And by the way I am a legal adult. I'm only half kidding though. I honestly like this idea. Am I the only one?

    Also, if anyone has any other acronym suggestions along these lines I'd like to hear them.

    So if one of the teams takes a dive in the finals what does this mean?

    They are throwing the POOP?

    http://www.pga.com/rydercup/2006/usa/history/ (if you care how it got the name)

    So I guess we need to have someone inspirational start this put up all kinds of money or prizes ... now that I am thinking about it, we should sell the naming rights!!! I can picture it now - the PPC (Pepsi Poker Cup), or how about PPSOPTE (Party Poker Southern Ontario Poker Team Event).

    This should be a pretty easy sell ;) Look at all the publicity the event's name would get on the forum, there would be a whole section devoted to all discussion of the event. The forum is a powerful advertising engine!

    Start the bidding at $100 ... do I hear $100 to name our event?

    has anyone thought of that this may accually go canada wide?
    Possiably we should bill this as the first annual bla...and get some like minded poker people in the sask..or BC..or eastern provinces..who knows....set a date for our regional tourney to be finished, and have the winner of that go to represent our province....
    just a suggestion....but with that suggestion also comes a naming idea...if we are a canada wide, we really could "sell" the naming rights.....or at least have some corporate person pay for all of us to stay in a hotel in a predetermined city for the provincial championchips....
    just a suggestion...

    Before we start selling licensed stpboy bobble-heads, we should slow down a minute.  If other regions/provinces choose to try this, that would be great.  However, if this goes beyond a regional thing, somebody probably needs to consult a lawyer ($$$). Lets see how the first SMALL one goes, than decide how to proceed.  Once you start talking about Canada-wide and selling stuff and licensing, it gets a bit dangerous in my opinion. 

    As has been said a few times (but apparently forgotten/ignored with the next burst of adrenaline and ideas), we are entering the same murky areas that got KWSOP shut down.

    SUAD Cup !!!

    simple , yet unpretentious, with a hint of swagger!
  • RivaflushRivaflush
    very good point....it's hard to keep the enthusiam in check when reading about all the interest etc of other people on the board.
    It makes sense to keep it small, but if it goes well the F-U-C-K M-E will be amazing! :)
    and hopefully annual...what do you say sandro?!

    I was actually kidding about the naming rights - who would buy it? I certainly don't want to get into any grey areas.

    It's dry, descriptive, and promotional. Sandro will love it.
