Wow, just saw the Round 1 freeroll into the $1,000 weekly freeroll at full tilt. For those who are griping about the new 7,500 player hourly freerolls, what do you think about a 30k player freeroll for $1,000? Personally I'm kind of stoked, and since I can't get away from a good massive tourney, can't wait to get involved in this one.

Think you can take down a 30k player tourney for $100? Worth the time, or no? On second thought, maybe there are better things to do.. :D

If you're tryin to build a BR off freerolls it would be good, but personally I'd spend the $1 for the daily dollar or $2 for a 700 man tourney-bigger payout.

This is a good thing, but it looks like there are only 12 qualifying tourneys (Sunday & Monday) for each weekly freeroll. I wish the qualifying tourneys were turbos too to speed up things.

That 30K tourney payout of $1000 may be worth it...but it will take all night & day to get through it on FT! It takes about 5-6hrs to wade through 7500. I may try it one day when I'm not busy though. :angel:

From the image ^, it looks like only 10k players. How long did this tourney go on for? I'm guessing somewhere around 7-8 hours. For me, not unless you win the $100, that would be a long, waste of time to win something like $10.

These qualifiers are 10,000 strong with top 250 going to the weekly $1000.

I just completed one in the top 100, it took around 4 hours.

Not worth it, playing that long to MAYBE win $100 isnt worth it. Youre better off playing private tourneys or the other FT MTTs to grind out your BR. If you have NOTHING BUT TIME on your hands, then the tourney would be fine to play...but I'll pass.

The only question iv got is what do you get if you unregister for the tournament after qualifying...FTPs?

Hopefully its the same as the pokermillion freerolls...if u unreg for rd 2 you get 200FTP.

Yeah, these are crazy. I'd hoped the payout structure on the $1,000 freeroll would be a little longer, but there's no real way I'm going to luckbox in one of the round 1 freerolls and then sit through 30,000 people for a gamble at $2 to $100. There's no way the ROI makes up for the time!

this seems cool but it would be very hard to cash in the 1k freeroll since there will end up being so many players in it. plus if you cash its only a buck.

Tbh most freerolls arent worth the time:)...Unless ofc your just a new player - which I am.

I did the round 1 and qualified for the weekly $1000 first time, so ill play it and see how it goes. But i doubt ill bother going through it again.

The qualifiers are every two hours.

As for the "time ev", I figure it's better than buying lottery tickets :D

I just busted out of my first attempt, started off playing too conservatively.

I didn't realize the qualifiers are every two hours, knowing that now, I'll loosen up in the next one.

The 10k entries were down to ~4k by the first break (only 10 minutes in !), the same thing will probably happen in the 30k main event.

Sounds like a bit of a waste of time to me but if you like playing huge tourneys with massive numbers, i suppose its a good idea.

If u back yourself agaisnt any freeroll players i suppose u may aswell give it a shot.
