Philip R. Bach, Applied Probability Analyst What does it take to participate in your annual tournament?
Ramdom invites It's really random invites for the most part (my understanding). They offered chances for everyone to get on the 2nd show by applying through the contact information that was posted here on Ken's site. I hear they are thinking about giving away spots for WSOB III to the winners of certain tournaments next year, (this is just rumor at this time). The casino's would have to workout a deal with GSN first and we all know how well most casino's marketing works. Plus they would have to allow all players access to play in their tournament, that eliminates several casinos already. I have heard WSOB III could be bigger and better with even more players and up to $1,000,000 in prize money next year. Keep your fingers crossed and thank GSN for promoting Blackjack tournaments!
Schedule change for WSOB2 GSN has changed the broadcast schedule for WSOB2 due to the 2-hour finale of Poker Royale on March 4th. I've revised the posted schedule at the top of this thread. KBelinkoff from GSN, feel free to confirm this change. Thanks
Ask and ye shall receive... Hey Rick -- If you want, Joe and I will give you the "special treatment" on its regularly scheduled day anyway, so you don't have to wait the extra week. I'm sure he and i could come up with plenty of things to heckle you for aside from whatever happens when your episode airs the following week! -holly d.
Dave This Should Be Fun Dave I have about 3 pages of notes that I took while watching Rick's round tape.And I noticed you in the green room doing the same.If you would like we can compare notes so we don't point out the same brian farts that he had.There should be plenty for the both of us to speak about
Fyi I am covered under the rookie law that you aren't allowed to razzle me for any brain fart moves I made. Correction...yes....Never let me live it down...No...that is reserved for Rick on this round. P.S. Uncle Joe, I bought some pretzels to replace the others. :joker:
More schedule changes GSN has removed the Saturday time slot for WSOB 2005, but they've added two others. You can catch each week's show on Monday at 11 PM and Thursday at 1 AM in addition to the old times. I've revised the remaining show schedule above to reflect the change.
