Prize update

Things are moving quickly and the Battle of the Blogger Tournaments is getting bigger. So let's get right into it.

First off, Hoyazo has decided to move his MATH tourneys over to Full Tilt during the challenge. This should make it easier for participation.

Also, we have bumped up the number of events in the challenge. We've added the 3 monthly Blogger Big Games hosted by MiamiDon to the list. We'll have events with buyins between $11 and $75. For those concerned about the large buyin and it's affect of the leader board, the numbers have been crunched and it all comes out well thanks to the TLB formula. The Big Game addition will not crush your hopes if cannot play that high.

This takes us up to 39 events for the challenge giving everyone plenty of opportunity to get in the action. No one is going to run away to hide across all the events.

Then there will by one final tournament on June 30th. Number 40. That will be the Battle of the Blogger Tournament of Champions which feature the top percentage of players on the leader board (number not quite firmed up yet) plus everyone who plays in a set number of events. The TOC will be a freeroll with a special source for the buyin.

I've been working behind the scenes with a few top people at Full Tilt and they've come back with a incredibly generous plan to help us in the challenge and encourage participation. There is no subtle way to say it so I'll just throw it out there.

Thanks to Full Tilt Poker, all 39 tournaments for the 13 weeks of blogger events will be virtually juice free. At the end of the challenge they are kicking back every single dollar in juice back to us. Every. Single. Dollar. Every bit of the money we pay into the events will come back to the players. Between the weekly MATH and Mook, the biweekly Riverchasers games, and the Big Games, we are looking at some serious cash to give back to our players.

The current plan is to take half of the juice to pay out top positions on the leaderboard and the other half to bankroll the TOC freeroll at the end. Add that with the Wii and DS Lite courtesy of PokerOnAMac.com and we have ourselves a serious little series for you guys.

A big thanks to Mike at PokerOnAMac, all the guys at Full Tilt Poker, and blogger legend HDouble. Everyone has been great to work with. They've helped us with some great ideas and prizes.
