Summer In Vegas II - the GEO teams - another $900 available - free entry
This one is very similar to the "name" Summer In Vegas competition but this time we separate the teams by geography.
We'll use the same data. However, instead of $ won, we'll use # of cashes ($ won will be the tie breaker). This one will highlight the grinders.
Each state (and DOC) can enter a team. Every country (except USA) can enter a team. UK will be broken down by components.
5 players per team max.
To make an American team you must finish in the Top 500 worldwide. No such limit on non-American teams.
The same entries and payouts apply:
$100 if you select the correct team.
$300 additional if you select the winning team PLUS the MVP.
$500 additional if you select the winning team PLUS the MVP PLUS the women's MVP.
Payment by PokerStars transfer or Amazon gift certificate.
Scoring is the same as for the "name" competition: last longers in all tournament series in Vegas that run concurrently with the WSOP.
No duplicate entries but partials are allowed.
This is a fantasy pool but you are allowed to participate inside the pool (get a bunch of cashes and join a team then go to Vegas this summer and lead your team to victory!).
Which team a player will play for is based on HM & WSOP bios.
"Born" takes precedence over "residence".
If there is a discrepancy between HM & WSOP, the place farthest from Las Vegas will be picked.
CAVEAT: I will only run this one if I have 10 or more entries before I return from Taiwan (sometime on Monday).
Example: Allen Kessler will qualify for Team Pennsylvania because HM says Nevada and WSOP says Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania is farther from Las Vegas).
Example: Jeremy Becker will qualify for Team New York because he lives in Florida but was born in New York.
Example: if someone picks Team Texas (for $100), nobody else can pick Team Texas.
Example: If someone picks Team Texas + Daniel Negreanu (for $300) you are allowed to pick Team Texas + Alan Engel.
Example: If someone picks Team Texas + Daniel Negreanu + Angela Jordison (for $500) you are allowed to pick Team Texas + Daniel Negreanu + Kristen Foxen
BTW, Landon Tice will qualify for Team Florida.
I'll answer any questions you have.
