RULES IN CASE ANYONE WAS CONFUSED

Every participant is free to play any regular tournament or 180 man 20$ sit 'n go. For simplicity, FPP buyin tournaments will not count for this challenge, even though some of them award TLB, simply because it's too hard to track. So only regular tournaments and 180man 20$ sngs.

The winning team will be determined after the month is over. Each member of a team will submit their top two scores (their 2 cashes in MTTs from the month which awarded the most TLB points) to make up 12 scores, 2 from each team member. Then the next 8 highest scores in the team will be taken, which can come from any team member, to make up a total of 20 scores. The total of 20 scores of a team taken in this way will be the team's total for this challenge, and the winning team will be the team with the highest total.

A bunch of completely obvious stuff - don't account share, etc. If theres something im forgetting please say so fast.

Oh yeah, for you to conveniently keep track of the TLB points you're making, go to the options menu in pokerstars and tick the 'receive congratulatory emails' option - when you make a score you'll receive an email which will indicate the TLB points you made (i think).

By all means report your tournament scores as you make them, so we can follow the progress of the teams during the month, and see whos winning etc. I have spoken to meat and he has kindly agreed to create a separate section of the forums just for the MTT Challenge, once this gets created (hopefully tomorrow) feel free to post threads there to report your scores, as well as other stuff like threads dedicated to tournaments a lot of us are playing (eg sunday), brag threads, rail threads, banter and speculation threads, etc etc.

Anyway feel free to ask questions like i said if there's anything I've forgotten to make clear here. If everything is said and done, the countdown to the start of the MTT challenge is just over 4 hours from now, 00:00 pokerstars time on July 1st. Good luck and may the best team win

good luck all teams

vvqs team needs to stop being a bunch of cowards and put up more money.

easy for you to say mr. $20,000 a week in tourneys.

Im up for some sidebetting as i havent done so yet, pm me or whatever!:D

I'll be sad missing this

sounds funky gl

how much travis's team is putting up?

Funky indeed!

Mig, if I was able to wake up one morning and say to myself "Hey, I feel like winning a Triple Crown today" then win every tournament on every website for a week... I too would put up $6,000.

do u think if this is successful there will be another one?

yes!

why not, its fun, but maybe chill out with the 25K bets -_-

seriously i care more about the money of mig (5K) than mine (100$)

from this point on, there will be 0 comments hinting at or questioning any possible degenerate behavior going on

I demand more betting instead of less betting.

yeah and i suggest you guys make a pot (for the sidebets) in advance with a reliable third party so there will be no trouble with money collection afterwards

not that people are not trustworthy here but when large bets are involved bad stuff just tends to happen

i am the "third party"

my 1 way flight tickets are booked, cya later casino

Why do you think I drafted ket?
