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.

FTP only offers HU shootouts for 4 people. I think they should really add MTT shootouts though. I consider myself good at sngs more than anything, so it would be good for me.

Hey,

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

Do a proper search and you will find it easy.

Peace. Very Happy

Beware Of "Vegetarian Meat", hes running a scam.

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?

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

PostPosted: Thu Jan 04, 2007 6:09 pm    Post subject: Private tourney question regarding payout structure Reply with quote

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!
