whats the payout structure? or is the prize all going to charity?
July 22nd, 2008 at 5:01 PM
Hi! Details for the prizes to follow, but we can assure you, it will be worth it!
The main organizer, Ms. Tessa Prieto, already guaranteed at least 50 prizes. We saw at least 10 cellphones, lots of vacation packages to first class destinations, LCD tv’s, and the like.
More details to come soon!

how many players will be attending the event?
August 3rd, 2008 at 6:24 PM
Is this a rebuy tournament or a multi-rebuy tournament? And are the vacation packages convertible to cash?
August 4th, 2008 at 3:12 PM
i don’t think they’re convertible…
prizes were probably solicited from donors, therefore not convertible…
would like to see all prizes corresponding to the position finished…
August 4th, 2008 at 4:41 PM
Hi!
There are still prizes being added to the prize pool, so we cant do the prizes according to place finished yet.
Yes it a multiple rebuy tournament up to 4th level.
No the prizes are not convertible to cash, but transferable if you want to sell them.
