GOPT Proposal: 07212015–1
Title: “The Event”
Discussion: In the much ballyhooed existence of the GOPT, there has been significant discussion about the possible addition of a 4th major. On the 5th Sunday of every other month, a very select group of GOPT distinguished elders has been meeting to discuss the possibility of adding this elusive 4th major. (Please, if you were not part of this select group, do not consider your unimportant to the GOPT – you are just less important than the group of GOPT distinguished elders). The proposal below chronicles a rough outline to generate discussion on the topic.
Please come to poker on 7/21/2015 prepared with comments/suggestions/criticisms.
“THE EVENT”
- Location: The GOPT Master-at- Arms, Honorable Moe Szyslak, has volunteered the spacious location of [redacted]. This will allow a late afternoon tournament, followed by debauchery, douchbaggery, and dinner on Main St. The location is also flexible depending on schedules. For example – A night in NYC with a hotel room tourney followed by debauchery, douchebaggery, and dinner would be a more difficult to plan to execute – but also pretty fun.
- Timing: To occur on the same weekend, every late August. Exact weekend TBD. Friday Night or Sat Night. This works well for all other majors – having a date set in stone for everyone to plan out WAY in advance. Ideally, before school starts but after Siri makes his annual pilgrimage to Justin Bieber’s boyhood home.
Tournament Details:
- The GOPT now has a point tracking system. Chips will be allocated based on the player’s annual POINT TOTAL. Siri/Junior to do the math.
- 3 Tournament triple-header. Estimated time per tournament @ 1.5–2 hrs. Siri/Junior to determine stacks, payouts, etc. (Alternative: Head to Head bracket style!!!)
- Tournament Organization: The organization of the tourney will go to the player with the lowest point avg./appearance. This includes providing beverages, snacks, etc. The actual monetary cost of food/beverages will be split between participants.
- Buy-In - $20/tourney. Must play all 3 Tourneys to win.
- Prize – Money, you fools.
- Honor – The honor for the victor will be to wear “The Event MO Money®” gold chain until Tourney #1 of the new poker season.
Summary: “The Event” is meant to be a final end of year championship and an All Star game all rolled into one. More prestigious than The Masters and more exciting than March Madness…. “The Event” will be the Grande Finale of GOPT Poker season 201?!!!! Who will be the first GOPT World Champion?
