Ok, wondering if someone can help with this.
I'm currently playing in the Pokerplayer magazine (UK) Grand Prix. the series comprimises of 10 x $1,000 freerolls (played every 2nd Monday with double points tourneys every 4th Sunday), culminating in a massive $10,000 Grand Final in London.
heres a link to the site for more info:

FROM THE SITE
After the 10 freeroll qualifiers, the top 32 names on the leaderboard will qualify for the live $10,000 Grand Final along with the 10 freeroll winners and eight PokerPlayers (magazine employees). You’ll then be playing for the coveted PPGP trophy and a $7,000 first prize that consists of entry into three major UK tournaments and coaching from top Betfair pro, Ben Grundy. There’ll also be a $3,000 prize pool for those that make the final table.
Points and payout structure for each freeroll
Position: Prize: Points:
1st: $280 Straight to final
2nd $180 35 points
3rd $100 32pts
4th $75 29pts
5th $60 26pts
6th $50 22pts
7th $40 19pts
8th $30 16pts
9th $20 13pts
10th $15 11pts
11th-20th $10 9pts
21st-30th $5 7pts
>30th $0 5pts
Ok so I finished 7th out of 783 in the 1st tourney and got 19 points, the 2nd tourney I played I didnt make the top 30 but got my 5 points so I now have 24 points and am currently joint 11th on the leaderboard (ThePolecat).
My question is...What are the chances of me qualifying for the live final if I dont make the top 30 in any of the remaining 8 tourneys (there's usully abou 700-800 players each tourney)?
I've worked out that I will have 74 points after all 10 tourneys if I dont finish in the top 30 again. (6 normal tourneys = 30 points, 2 double points tourneys = 20 and my current 24 = 74)
My friend seems to think I just need to turn up to the remaining tourneys and I'm there but i'm unsure.
All help appreciated.
P.S. only 1 person who made the top 30 from the 1st tourney made the top 30 in the 2nd tourney aswell.
