How about a series of Daily CC-WSOP tournaments with a $3.50 buy in.
The tournaments would be set up exclusively for CC members like the freerolls with a pre-submitted list of possible applicants, only all CC members are welcome.
Once a member wins one of the daily tournament, they are in the finals and can no longer play in the preliminaries.
Depending on how the preliminaries go, the goal would be @ 25K which should provide enough funds for myself and another winner to have a comfortable Tournament in Vegas.:bandit:
For example if the tournaments (which would dramatically increase CC membership) averaged 54 entries per game, per day over time, extrapolated from the current $5 Full tilt game to a projected increase in interest over time, it would take 22 weeks to make our goal.
{ 25K Goal/[$54gathered per game*$3per entrant(.50 going to Tilt or Stars)]}/7days in a week=22 Weeks.
The finals would consist of a given number of seats, say 180, which would give ample opportunity for all CC regulars who win an opportunity to the finals while at the same time building the bankroll to support the trip.
In addition to the tournament fees, I’m sure there would be some added monies from CC available and/or Full Tilt or Stars as part of standard business advertising.
If by the end of the scheduled preliminaries, not enough funds were collected for two to make the trip, then we just send one, just make this is clear to all who enter.
But, It’s my opinion that this would become very popular and we would have no problem making the 25K over a 3-4 month period.
On a given date, there would be the Final Tournament with a super size stack and 12-15 min blinds and two lucky schmucks would be headed to Vegas.
The only down side would be the rapid increase in CC Membership applications just for this venture and all that entails.
