The World Series of Surfers Poker (WSOSP) Schedule :-

Event 1 :- Sat 26th May 14:30 ET - No Limit Holdem Shorthanded - Freeroll - Password only available to members with 'Level 1' access or higher (ie 'Password Early Release Forum' or higher) or via Sign-up Thread

Event 2 :- Sun 27th May 14:30 ET - Pot Limit Omaha - $2.20 Buy-in.

Event 3 :- Sat 2nd June 14:30 ET - No Limit Holdem with rebuys - $1.10 buy-in. This is taking place the same day as Event 3 of the WSOP!)

Event 4 :- Sun 3rd June 14:30 ET - No Limit Holdem Heads-Up. $1.10 buy-in.

Event 5 :- Sat 9th June 15:00 ET - HORSE. $5.50 buy-in. $35 added.

All winners of an event will get a "bracelet" added to their profile. Visible in every post they make.

All tournaments are taking place at Pokerstars. I will post tournament IDs and passwords when I have them.

Remember passwords for event 1 will not be going on widespread release, as this is a freeroll designed to give good members an opportunity to fund the buy-in of the other 5 events.

Quality post = non staking related, non 1 liner, non-nonsence.

'1 liners' included posts which are one and a bit lines.

That is broadly it.

[DutchMart]

Shame, I'm on my holiday in Curacau then.
Hopefully there's internet access at the hotel room so I can joint you guys for the main event!

Shoot, i think i am gonna use the 1.10 for the heads up matches, else ill be adding 0.10 dollar to it and play a SNG got a little bank roll now from playing Freerolls ( about 2 dollars again)

[RufusHoward]

Woot I can't wait until the WSOSP goes down , it's getting close everyone be ready to play some good poker. Best of luck to everyone who plays in them and see you at the tables

[RiverWheel]

This is gonna be great. I'm pretty sure I'll be available then. Love the variety of tournaments. If this becomes an annual event, maybe there should be a Wall of Fame of some sort as there is in the WSOP. Thanks for organizing this. Good Luck to everyone.

[tramp1579]

This has the potential to be an awesome event. I hope there is a huge turnout. Thanks again Venice.

[rummy]

Great idea Venice.. I hope Im able to play in them all

[DutchMart]

Great to see the first event for regulars. It's always nicer to play the guys you know. You just have more to cheer about

I can't blame them, but there were really lotts of one timers in the last tourney. If they would continue to show up on the forum it would be okay, but unfortunately that's not the case.

[RufusHoward]

I'm sending in some money to Pokerstars tommorow to make sure I'll have enough for all these events GL to everybody who's going to be playing in these cya at the tables of the wsosp Oh ya Venice I'm not completely sure about this but

are all these events are just for surfers poker members aren't they? or is it one of ps public tournys and we see which sp member gets the deepest in the tourny? lol I'm not sure on this so figured I'd ask.

[Jenpoker]

I can answer that one

These are all private tourneys with passwords. Only Surfers Poker members can enter.

[RufusHoward]

kk thanks Jen I thought so just wasn't positive on that :P Woot can't wait for it to happen Jen if you had to guesstimate how many sp members do you think will be in these events? I say there will be a great turnout

[LordJenkins]

I just wanted to say that is a great idea! Promotes interest in the forum which is what it should be about and also gives good players a chance to play a great set of tourneys. Congrats on the idea and I hope you all have fun!

i just noticed that HORSE is part of the turnout :O
if i suck at something it would be that T_T.
Omaha is fun though

[ematanane]

This sounds wonderful Venice, as this series will help enable us to perfect our online poker experience but with a twist as you added the bracelets to each winner. Its gonna be sweet!

[rummy]

I was thinking maybe we could do a leaderboard for the wsosp like we do for the sunday freerolls even if theres no prize money we could just keep track for fun to see who the over all wsosp player is. depending on how many play in the events I was thinking either 1-20 points like the sunday freerolls or 1-10 points depending on the field sizes.

[tramp1579]

I'm sorry to say that I won't be able to make the freeroll on the 26th. My oldest has his graduation at 3:00 P.M. (15:00) that day. Best of luck to all playin, and we'll catch you all in the rest.

Anyone else think this is a good Idea

We can do this.

Lets say half the field gets points.

eg 20 entrants. Places 1st through to 10th get 10 points to 1 point respectively. With 2 bonus points for the winner, and 1 bonus point for second.

Your best 5 scores count.

(Minus 6 points for Event 1, without going negative, due to likely larger field size)

Example

Event 1, 40 Entrants, Finished 4th, 11 points (17-6)
Event 2, 16 Entrants, Finished 5th, 4 points
Event 3, 16 Entrants, Finished 14th, No points
Event 4, 16 Entrants, Finished 2nd, 8 points (7+1)
Event 5, 20 Entrants, Finished 10th, 1 point
Event 6, 20 Entrants, finished 1st, 12 points (10+2)

5 best results are 11+4+8+1+12 = 36 points

I could probably do with someone to do the points tracking though.

[Venice]

Events 1 and 2 are now open for registration.

Event 1 - Sat 26th May - ID = 51095506
Event 2 - Sun 27th May - ID = 50027406

I could keep track for you Venice, but I had a question if there are say 17 people playing would it be 1-8 gets points or 1-9, or 1-8, and 9 gets 0.5 of a point. also in event 1 sence you minus 6 points would 1st and 2nd get the bonus points or would there be no bonus points in event 1
