  • Next time I might as well wait until 11:30 at night and buy into the tournament with two separate spots(teams).  I know its for the fun of the game, but when I'm there for 12 hours and it only matters who you know- not how well you play, there is something seriously wrong.

    seriously. this is how i feel as well. we (SOMFCITY Crew) were on fire all day. but once hour 12 and 13 rolled around we just didnt want to be there anymore.
     
    Is this how long the other satellites take?

    The last satellite I played in was at Micky's hangover for the WSOPB II was held over a 4 week period.  Started at 8pm each Saturday and ending when the games were finished, a winner each week.  Usually took 'till 1 or so.  Then finals on the last week with each sessions Top 3 in the bracket.  TheSets however was hastily planned (it seems), and poorly executed.  It was a good effort though; being the largest we've seen in AZ to date.

  • Thank you all for the feedback (positive or negative).  I feel bad that I was one of the people hosting the tournament, but was unable to attend.  Being that this was our first tournament and one of the largest to date, I do feel that things went fairly well.  Most of the personal feedback I have received from individuals that participated in the event was that they had a lot of fun, but things were a bit un-organized.  I can assure you that we have learned from our mistakes and now know what all we need to do to make the next tournament great!  For starters, we will have more tables, a better bracket system and lessen the amount of buy-backs.  I feel that we do need to offer buy backs, but that they should stop after the first round has been completed.  I do not agree with having late buy backs as that is not necessarily fair to other teams that may be 8-0 at the time.  Buy backs are essential though since many people travel great distances to play in these events and if you get bounced in the first 30 minutes, then you have just wasted a ton of time.
     
    Again, thank you all for your feedback and thank you all for participating and making the Tempe Tournament one of the largest, if not the largest, Satellite tournament to date.
