Great, congratulations EightLegions for first place and smerc for second. Please pm me EightLegions to claim your prize.
 
We will run another game in a week or so at a better time so more people can be available. Now that I know everyones time zones I can plan a little better.
 
i was in the wrong tourney :( i was stuck in the shootout one :/ i didnt realised until after i had won my game, i was waiting for a bout an hour then i saw the other tourney and realised what was going on lol i was gutted to be honest, i was lookin foward to it all weekend also im in england so it didnt start til midnight for me, by the time i finished my 1 on 1 and waited for my next game it was gone 2am i started work at 6, so really i stayed up and had a couple hours sleep for nothing but its ok ill know for next time, it was still good got a feel of the table and im registered now so itll be alot easier in future, see you all at the next one :) im bringin my A game hahaha cheers
 
LIGHTNING we have to thank you for the tournament.that was a great experience playing poker with the brotherhood
 
Ya the game started 20 min before I got home from work m w f afternoon is good but t th sat sun don't get home till 5 az time
 
Thank you everyone for playing. Like grow4me mentioned above, now that we have all gotten our feet wet in the first game, it should be easier to arrange the next one. New members and registrations welcomed in the meantime.

I just need to figure out if its best to host games during the week or the weekend and what time due to dealing with players in the US and players overseas with 5-8 hour time differences. UK is 5 hours ahead of the US, so a 6pm ET (18:00 ET) game here would mean 11pm ET (23:00 ET) at night in the UK based on the current time zone differences.

Players in Greece and Latvia are 7 hours ahead of us so that means a 6pm ET (18:00 ET) game here would mean 1am (01:00 ET) at night in over there based on the current time zone. Russia is 8 hours ahead so that gets even later.

Most people in the US work 9am-5pm jobs
 
Thank you for putting this together. I haven't played in a long time, and it was nice to get back into it. I'm already looking forward to the next one. That time and day are great for me, but I realize it's gonna be difficult to find one time that works well for everybody. Whatever it ends up being is cool with me. I'll do my best to make it work.

How did your poker game go? The one w/ the $12.5k jackpot (or however much it was).

I cashed out in 11th place and made $1,150.00, There were 350 people playing.

Pretty damn good considering the 350 people playing. Assuming they all knew wth they were doing.

What was the buy-in @?

Yeah good game bro, beat me at the very end after I was on top for quite some time haha :p

I thought it would be down to like half the players, then half again, til eventually 1 on 1. Wasn't a bad idea but with many at the table it's definitely more fun! Congrats to whoever won this time.
 
Amazing to see how successful this is! This has got to be the fastest growing thread on the forum.

I won a satellite ticket from a previous game but I think the buying were $300 or $350 each. The top 16 people got paid.

Yes, those were the games I was getting those wins in for while you were down here. I need one last win this week by Sunday and if I win, they buy all paid trip to vegas in November to Play for a seat in the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event in Vegas. When I win that event *insert positive thinking here*, they buy you a $10,000.00 seat and give me $1,000.00 in spending cash. They usually payout prize money to the top 690 people. Last year 1st Place payout was Scheduled at $10,000,000.00 and Last Place (693rd place) was $18,400.00. There are usually over 6,000 players that play for several days.
