Hey Xianti, maybe it's too late for this suggestion, but I was wondering if you'd consider letting us play up to 12 games and only count 10 of them? So we could throw away 2 of our worst games if we play the max 12 since only 10 would count. I'm thinking that this would increase attendance for each game and also give the other games (that aren't holdem) the best chance for participants.
Just an idea. Thanks for listening to all the other ideas too, this season should be a good one!

I tried to get the password but i couldn't. Is there a seperate password for each tourney? Or there is only one password which is available prior to each tourney? Forgive me if it is written somewhere, i couldn't find it.

i think courtie makes a good point. as it is now, no one is going to play 8game and limit horse sundays. Allowing us to throw out the 2 lowest scores would encourage participation in those atleast.

Courtie does make a good point, but I disagree about the HORSE comment. In the feedback thread I posted, it was the variant most requested after NLHE.

i guess i used those 2 games since they are least played as a whole. For me, i would love to play the PLO events, but i suck hard at PLO and it would kill my results most likely. That's assuming that i actually play more than 3 games this season.

As there are only 9 NLHE events scheduled, it's best to play the PLO event and possibly donkament your way into some points, even if you aren't very good. It can't kill your results, only add to them.
(That is, assuming you can't make the other time slot at all...)

I like the suggestion. It would depend on whether AvatarKava can program the modification in the point calculation. Let me see...

Hmmm ... not sure how the brain will cope at 5am on a Monday. But as I'd be the biggest fish in this field anyway I might as well give it a shot!
Gator, have I mentioned before that you have my vote for the world's awesomest avatar? Who is she?

it's second best, some dude on here has the hottest pic of a somewhat naked chick facing away but with the hottest figure ever. Its in black and white, not sure who it is, but wish I knew where I found it so I could stare at it for several hours per day.
I'm all for the best 10 out of 12 idea.

Yeah, is it on or not. Can tell if this post is a joke or not as the schedule hasn't been updated.
Post in the commune would be handy to make everyone aware.

Sorry, guys. I'm changing the dates now. Warpe is right in that we need an extra week to promote this and AvatarKava also needs some time to tweak the point-scoring code to accommodate the top-10-games calculation.
We'll push this hard in promoting it this week so that all interested people will know about it by the time next Sunday comes around.

X,
You may want to back out the TOC by one week as Sep 6th is Labor Day weekend.
Also, June 21st is Father's Day so attendance that day may drop a bit.

WOW.... I just saw this here now at 3amPT (9hrs. prior to start time). I've got a ton of games lined up already for tomorrow but might have to make a few adjustments now. Hmm... maybe I'll just wait and play in the one later in the day when I'm good & burnt out.
GL to all who play. I've been looking forward to this Event (actually posted some question about it around a month ago). I'm clearing a spot on my desk for the trophy as I write here now.
'JanisSoprano' on Stars.... (don't ask......)

sigh..... sniff... sniff
Just checked out my schedule and I don't think I'm going to be able to play more than 'maybe' a half dozen of them. I guess I'll just have to try to win the ones I do play. Already had that trophy pictured sitting on my desk.
I'm looking forward to playing all the same, even if I can't enter enough to even attempt to be in contention for the pts. standing. I'm sure it'll be a good experience for me to get to play on the tables with some great players here at FTR (I have lots to learn... and what a good spot for it).

Sorry about the password glitch. It's been fixed now, thanks to a last-minute patch by AvatarKava. We'll work out all the kinks before next Sunday.

It will be a select group thing with the guys from last season plus a few others (yourself, dthorne, mcat, etc.). I will be sending a pm out probably tomorrow to everyone.

All the 6MAX games, including this Sunday's Games 02A and 02B have now been set up by PokerStars. I had to rely on them to do the 6-max games, as it is not an option available for me to set up myself. They goofed and made the tourney names different from what I had requested (to be consistent with all the other tourney names which I'm setting up).
NOTE
All 6-MAX games have longer names and begin with "FTR Gauntlet..." rather than simply "Gauntlet...." For example:
FTR Gauntlet VIII, Game 02A - 6MAX NLH
