I had a friend transfer me 5.50 so I could play in this tourney, my first AIPS showing and my first ever stud tourney.
I'm just happy I cashed so I can register for future events, haha.

Gambit,
Just curious, for the re-buy event, how is the buy-in amount calculated for the player of the year points calculaton? Is it based on just the initial $2 buy-in, or on the average buy-in based on Re-buys, Add-ons, etc...
Thanks,
Ray Foley (Wirdpair)

Ray,
That's exactly what we're going to do...take the entire prize pool generated by buy-ins + rebuys + add-ons and divide by total field size to come up with an average "buy-in" number.
