CASH BUY IN EVENTS - UPDATE 7/5

[krunchie]

Hmmm.... makes me ponder tho, tickets will never be *sold* to the next step events, but but you can win them in a crap shoot, er Sit and Go , be drawn out at a break, or have them transferred to you. .... one wonders why you can't just buy your way in?

One wonders???!! Ummm..how about being required to play at the venue to support that venue so that they can make enough revenue to continue to run poker so that you guys can go out & play!

Direct buy in would mean you'd never have to walk into a venue to play a game. I'm sure you can see how that just doesn't work in the scheme of things.

Then why not have it that you must play X number of NPL games before you can qualify to buy a ticket

For eg 10 games in a 10 week season

You have supported a venue or some venues, you have suported the NPL by playing, and you support us by allowing us to part with our money for a chance to win big

everyone wins.

Without stopping to think about it, it doesn't seem like the worst idea I've ever heard.

I'm confused as to how a prize can be offered ... yet you have to then qualify to use it.

The prize is the prize - you win it, you get it. No ifs or buts.

Can I not spend the money I get unless I play more games?

dave, the idea was for those who don't win a ticket, but want to buy in.

Sorry, mistaken.

I need my afternoon coffee.
