Another $$$ Giveaway: SUMMER IN VEGAS

Neither have I.
I'm sure they'll all be household names by the end of summer!

A few more live updates today from Los Angeles & Atlantic City.
We now have 140 teams: welcome Team Edward & Team Frank.
Would have thought these 2 should have already been here although not too many kids are called Frank these days.
Max number of qualifications is still 8.
Here's Team Peter. Not only do they have 8 qualifications but nobody has more than 1 so this must be the largest team with 8 different players.
But who are these guys? Not exactly household names.

I think the final pieces of the puzzle are now in place.

SCORING:
a) the team with the most Last Longers
b) 1st tiebreaker will be buyin cost of the tournaments (high is better)
c) 2nd tiebreaker will be finishing position of the Last Longer (low is better)

PRIZES AND ENTRIES:
I'll take a page out of PokerStars and award prizes this way:

a) LOW - just give me the name of the team that will win.
LOW PRIZE: $100 (if I fail to cash this summer) or 10% of my winning (if I do cash)

b) MEDIUM - just give me the name of the team that will win and the League MVP.
MEDIUM PRIZE: $300 (if I fail to cash this summer) or 30% of my winning (if I do cash)

c) HIGH - just give me the name of the team that will win and the League MVP and the Woman's MVP.
HIGH PRIZE: $500 (if I fail to cash this summer) or 50% of my winning (if I do cash)

the fine print:
You may enter all 3 levels or just 1 or 2 levels.
You are allowed to change your mind starting March 1st, April 1st and May 1st
Entries and changes close when "cards are in the air" this summer.
The scoring for MVP is the same as the team scoring.
As usual, I'll be giving out entries to some of my favourite charities.
Entries are free.
Winning payments are by PokerStars account (if you have one) or by Amazon Gift Certificate (if you don't have an account).
No duplicate entries (example, if someone already has Team Vegard as their LOW pick, you cannot pick Team Vegard)
Similar entries are OK (example, if someone already has Team Daniel, Daniel Negreanu, Maria Ho as their HIGH pick you can enter Team Daniel, Daniel Negreanu, Kristen Foxen)
"my winnings" are payout minus entry fee. Only tournaments cashed are included, OOTM tournament entry fees are not deducted.
To qualify as a Last Longer the player must cash! There will be no OOTM Last Longers.

I'm probably forgetting something here so we'll hold off on entries for a little while.
Pepper me with your questions before entries open.
I'll open a new thread when entries are open.

A lot of you are probably asking yourself: if I pick Daniel Negreanu, what are his chances of making Team Daniel?
Assuming he plays the PokerGo Mixed Game series, he looks good to qualify.
That series has all mixed games except 1 Draw game.
At this time, a cash in any tournament should get him on the team.

The last task has been done: complete list of all qualifying players.
There are 680 of them on 140 teams.
That's too large to post here.
I've created a file - I hope the link works.

No questions?
Everything is clear?
Maybe we can start accepting entries earlier if everyone is ready.

I added more results from Sacramento & Florida but the number of teams stayed at 140.

I'll work on opening a new thread for entries and when that is posted, entries will be open.
Watch for the new thread.

This way I can ask those at my home game on Friday who they want to pick before I head to Vegas next week.

The new thread for entries is open and we have 4 entries already.
If any of you wanted to enter here (entries weren't open yet), let me know.
I think everyone who asked about a team still has that team available. But hurry before someone else grabs your team.
