Update Details

Changed phone number (800-746-2486 to 800-746-2486 ext. 2505). Added details (The winner of each of 3 satellites wins a seat into GSN's World Series of Blackjack. Registration will open Dec. 10,2005, at the conclusion of their monthly tournament on that date --- register in person on that date. After Dec. 10, 2005, register by phone - ext. 2505 from 9:00am to 6:00pm (central time). Registration will end when all 3 satellites are full. You will probably need a player card to enter. On the day of each satellite, seat assignments for round 1 will start at 9:00am. Play will begin at 12:00. Although rebuys are possible, if a satellite tournament is full, and they expect it to be, there will be no rebuys. No wild cards - you must win your way into the WSOB. Maximum of 126 players per satellite. Three (3) rounds will be played in each satellite: Round 1 - 6 players per table, 2 advance per table. Round 2 - 6 players per table, 1 advance per table Round 3 (Final) - 7 players It's possible that TV crews will be filming some of the action. All their literature also says a copy of your social security card is required to collect prize money. This is standard for all tournaments at the HO-CHUNK.). Added prize details (This tournament is top heavy with poor equity. Their literature says the seat in the WSOB is worth $50,000 but read EQUITY below. True, the winner gets a seat in the WSOB (only 40 seats to be awarded nationwide), VIP treatment during week of the shoot, free hotel and meals, but no cash. Don't know about air fair. As for EQUITY (and this is the kicker): $50,400 will be paid in entry fees for each satellite. Out of that, $25,000 goes into the $1,000,000 prize pool for the WSOB. The remaining $25,400 goes to "production costs" - this according to information I got from talking to the HO-CHUNK tournament people. Yes, the players are paying part of the production costs and thus increasing profits of the promotors!).
