Maiden Tournament

A way of encouraging novice players.

Maiden tournament.
Entry Fee $1.
$3,000 guaranteed payout

Tournament rules;
Any player who has final tabled from a field of 2,000 or more is ineligible.
Any player who has ever made $100 or more profit from a single MTT is ineligible.
If a player achieves either of the above whilst playing in this tournament, congratulations! But you will be denied entry in the future.
Any player who has ever won $100 or more playing in an S & G will be ineligible.

Poker sites run tournaments involving players from just one country, so I reckon either of the two biggest poker sites could easily run a tournament along these lines, and I think it would be very popular.

I am not suggesting that every $1 tournament should have these rules, but one a day wouldn’t hurt IMO.

What do you think guys?

GL at the tables.

Sounds like a good idea for novice players, but realistically I don't know how they could police that.

definitely in for this could try doing it at Full Tilt and maybe password lock it

I'd be interested...as you can see from my name, I'd be eligible! LOL....seriously, I really would be eligible & would love to play!

I have no idea whether it could be policed or not, but as I mentioned, if they can run tournaments for French players only, then why not?

If the policing is resticted to the results of players at the site running the tournament, how difficult would this be for modern computer technology to pick up on?

I really don't kow!
I am a complete computer novice, and have just learned how to cut and paste!





LOL. It's a shame you can't play at Titan Poker, they do S&Gs for 'new' players, and this lasts for the first 3 months.
Although many of the 'new' players are quite experienced through playing at other sites, I reckon a good 40% - 60% really are beginners!
