 Interesting Online Tournament Series
Not sure if this should be posted here or in the general area.....but here is something I found while browsing PSCrew website. I tried to email FellKnight to see if he would post it himself so he could answer any questions, but the email address was wrong. For those who are interested in playing deep stack poker this series of tourneys is modeled after the WSOP and looks pretty cool. Anyway, i'm intrigued and though other would be interested as well.....here ya go.
I wish to announce and invite you all to participate in the RGP Open. It is a series of tournaments that will be run on GamesGrid. I have modelled the series after the WSOP, and it is being run on this small site because they are being *very* accomodating with regards to letting me tweak the starting chips, duration of levels, blind structures, etc.
What I am offering, different from any other tournament online, is the ability to play deeper stack, and longer level poker for a relatively small buy-in amount.
For the structure itself, Satellites will start with 1500 chips, 15 minute levels, and addons for 2000 chips (when rebuys and addons are permitted).
For the events with a $20 or $30 buyin, You will start with 2000 in chips, with 20 minute levels, and 2500 chips addons.
For the $50 and $100 events, you will start with 3000 chips and 30 minute levels.
The Main Event is the really exciting part: You will start with 10,000 in chips, and the blinds structure will mimic the WSOP Main Event, with 40 minute levels, and a 5 minute break after each level.
Each event will be run over 2 Days. The preliminary events will run for 4 hours, then the tournament will pause until the start of the next event, at which point the tournament will resume (thus, Day Two of the Event #1 will be at the same time as Event #2 starts), just like they did at the WSOP this year. This should allow many more people to play, as I expect each tournament (due to the longer structure) to last between 4-8 hours. (The Main Event should last 16 to 20 hours).
Here is the tentative schedule for the RGP Open:
Sept 17, 15:00 Eastern: $30 No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em
Sept 20, 21:00 Eastern: $30 Limit Texas Hold 'Em
Sept 22, 21:00 Eastern: $30 Limit Omaha High-Low, Eight or Better

Nov 1, 21:00 Eastern: $100 HORSE
Nov 3, 21:00 Eastern: $30+R Supersatellite to the Main Event
Nov 5, 14:00 Eastern: $500 No Limit Texas Holdem Main Event, Day One
Nov 6, 16:00 Eastern: $500 No Limit Texas Holdem Main Event, Day Two
In other happenings: We will have a fully functional satellite system to
the main event, with "Second Chance" satellites running shortly 1 hour after each event. I am also in discussions with the designers to run Sit&Go STT satellites to the earlier events, which would be 11% of the buy-in to the event, and be winner take all.
