I recently participated in a free sattelite with prize money of 1,000 tickets. Finished in 132 place and received a ticket for one of the five tournaments with 2 to 6 September. In the lobby, I pressed the information about the tournament. Where indicated the initial number of chips 1 and still there is mad ante. Asked many of my friends and no one was able to explained to what it means. Perhaps this is not the tournament at all.
That's going. Perhaps someone explain to me how to play it.

You don't win tickets to these games..

Everyone gets a free ticket who plays on pokerstars and have earned vpp's. You then just join one of the tournaments. It's basically just a freeroll lottery and there is no actual tournament to be played.

Actually from what I have seen there is VIP trivia freerolls that give out tickets to these tournaments.

So people could actually bink some freerolls and enter all 5 vip giveaways I think.

Oh, not seen them. Where are those?

It's just a lottery like any normal lottery. Basically; it's a draw and you finish in whatever position your ticket is drawn.

Isnt it like that everybody will be allin in every hand? Anyway its not important. Important is that you will not play this "tournament" all you need to do is just register. System will make it for you :D

Ehm sorry. One thing you should do. Pray :D

Not 100% sure if everyone will be all-in each hand, either way it will be done within a few minutes. However; I just think at start time the tournament will just end and everyone will be placed wherever they get lucky enough to finish. It's just a lottery or raffle system. Everyone has the same odds on coming first as they do for coming last.

I read somewhere that would not have hands played this tournament would just be a big lottery, i believe that the results of who won the awards will be informed at the same time the beginning of the tournament. I may be wrong, but i believe that there will be no hands for play.

I thought I read that too.
So was surprised to see starting stacks and blinds, because they don't normally do that for place holder tournaments.
They have to choose the raffle winners somehow though so using the software to play allin games would be one way.

On the site it says: The $1M VIP Giveaway is a series of five prize draws that give you a shot at winning a share of more than $1,000,000 in cash prizes and seats for this year’s World Championship of online poker (WCOOP). Prizes are awarded at random, with thousands of players set to win, and all you need to do to be in with a chance of winning is register!
Therefore im guessing as soon as the tourney starts it finishes and you see if you win.
