Online Poker Forum - Creating a Private Tournament

GripHoldOn · Posted: Sat Apr 08, 2006 9:29 am Post subject: Creating a Private Tournament

To set up a private tournament, simply send an e-mail to privatetournaments@fulltiltpoker.com with all of the following information regarding the tournament you want set up:

Tournament Name:

Tournament Date:

Tournament Time:

Game to be Played:

Buy-In and Entry Fee:

Password:

Expected Turnout:

That's everything, but here are a few other things to be sure to watch for:

The tournament's name can not exceed 25 characters.

The time you choose is clear (If you want a tournament at 4 PM, don't just write 4:00, write 16:00 SERVER TIME). All unlabeled time zones are interpreted as SERVER TIME, which is US ET.

The entry fee must be at least 10% of the buy-in.

The password must be all lower case letters without spaces.

If you want a tournament with something other than a nine player minimum, make that clear in your e-mail.

Hey,

It's not like these passwords are hard to find!

Do a proper search and you will find it easy.

Peace. Very Happy

Pardon me for being a retarded noob...

But what's the difference between buy-in and entry fee? Is the buy-in the money which is shared with the top three players? And the entry fee goes to full tilt? Or who gets it?

I mean, full tilt must get something from the private tourneys as well, right?

And is the expected turnover the number of expected players? I saw some max 900 players private tourneys then some which had maximum of 36 etc.

Is it guaranteed that if I ask for a private tournament to be arranged at certain time, it will be arranged at certain time? Can I specify the minimum number of players?

All good questions silenze, and I am interested in the answers for them also.

you have it correct, buy in is prize money spread out over the winners (maynot be top 3, though)......entry fee goes to ftp

Can you host a private tournament that you ADD money to the prize pool yourself?

Greetings,

I know that if I have a private tourney with 18 people they will payout the same as if I enter a regular 18 person SnG.

What if I host a private tourney with 22 or 29 people? At what point does the payout structure change from 4 spots to 5+?

Thank you!
