Furthermore, All winnings are paid out at Closing Ceremonies Sunday June 6th, 2010 in Cash awarded inside the "Trophy Cups" - To me thats why they call it a "Pot" So we give it to you in a pot!

**********POT System**********

Most events have a standard setup - you get charged some money, they take some off the top and then put the remainder into the pot and sometimes you don't know how much that is...That can be dirty, we don't like dirty.

GPX does not do that. We have sponsored Guaranteed Pots - That means the amounts listed above are what your getting no matter what happens...

Example: random gaming event gets 300 Players to compete in SF4 @ $10 an entry - that means the pot is $3000 - if the event does not take anything off the top. 1st Place takes 70% = $2100, 2nd Place takes 20% = $600 and 3rd Place takes = $300. If the event takes any fees for administration that means the pot is smaller (we wont start assuming how much events take, this could take all night and I can rant for days).

GPX and GAMME will be doing the Guaranteed Pot as listed above for each tournament. AND we will also add 50% of every entry to the Pot! The remaining 50% goes to Charity ($5, broken into $1 a piece to each of these charities: Donate2life, The MS Society, Miami Children's Hospital, St. Jude's and Toy's for Tots - changed from Miami Food Drive - they want cans of food, so we will do a food drive for this instead)

What does that mean?

Example - 50 people compete @ GAMME in SF4, $10 Entry fee = $500 of which 50% or $250 extra gets added to the existing $5000 Pot = $5250

Example - 300 people compete in SF4 (basing attendance numbers on some of our tournaments from Boston, Texas, Indianapolis and Florida) 300 @ $10 = $3000 50% goes to the pot. So $1500 gets added to the $5000 pot = $6500.

you guys can do the math from there:

1st Place would take 70% = $4550
2nd Place would take 20% = $1300
3rd Place would take 10% = $650

Much better for the winners.

We decided this is the best way to show the community we want to give them a hype tournament with real money on the line.

We will be hosting other tournaments with other pots as well DDR: SuperNova and DDR: Extreme, Halo 3 / ODST, Modern Warfare 2, etc. However, we will keep the tourney info for our event pertinent to the subject matter of the SRK boards.

The www.gamm-expo.com site will be up very soon, our placeholder is up while we finalize our beta site. information will be available on www.gpxgaming.net site as well as our social networks and twitter announcements

    Count me in, and looking for a MM with Hajime, for the Yoshi supremacy :)... The MM Oof´s talking about sounds good, but, maybe 5 chars, 10 is a lot, I guess that´s just for real masters.

    I support RTD on doing a stage banning instead hilde banning, anyway, if you go there RTD, I´ll be glad to face Hilde on any small stage :)

    I'm all for a complete lack of hilde or algol. Sure, the entire casts has issues in this game, but at least they are reasonable to deal with -- Hilde and algol are just too broken.

    I'm not saying I wouldn't go if they were brought into the lineup again; no, I'd go regardless and face them all the same. But this moves scores a big win for the tournament by making it more competitive and therefore more exciting to potential newcomers and returnees alike.

    I'll have a room at the Orlando Metropolitan, which is about 5 miles away from the venue. I'll also have a rental car that I'll take care of on my own, but I'm willing to split the room and of course give rides to and from the venue. It'll be about $50/person for the weekend. It's a suite with accomodations for 4. I got a good deal on it; so I don't need the help, but I thought I'd help out any stragglers out there. PM me if you're interested.

    I'm hyped for this tournament.

    However, I have some concerns right now with the way it's being handled before hand.

    First of all, there doesn't appear to be any specific schedule released in terms of the time/day that tournaments are being held. And this is something that I need to know, because if the SC4 tournament is only on Saturday, then I will want to buy a 2 day theme park passes for Friday and Sunday. And I would like to buy those passes ahead of time so not knowing the exact tournament schedule makes me buying the tickets a gamble.

    Also, my other concern is the pre-registration for the tournament at http://gamme.eventbrite.com/. If you click on "more info" under Soul Calibur IV, it says:

    "Soul Calibur IV: Singles - Please use SRK/8wayrun Name or Handle in First Name Box and please add Zip Code - this will help with Regional separation of Ladders"

    However, there is no first name box or zip code box at any point from that pre-reg page, to the last page where you do the final paypal payment transaction. Although this shouldn't be a problem when it comes to picking up your tickets because they still get the email associated with the payment, I don't get how they will set up the brackets ahead of time with only the email address. The pre-registration seems very poorly set up. I emailed GPX Gaming about this and have yet to receive a response.

    And the last thing is this website, http://www.gamm-expo.com/. Back in November they posted "The GAMME Website is almost completed testing on IE, FireFox and Google Chrome, still finishing some of the updates and will have the site ready asap.", and now around half a year later the website isn't opened yet. I was hoping the website would show tournament schedules etc. But GAMME is nearing a month away and it's still not up yet. =\

    Anyways, hopefully GPX Gaming will get back to me on my email, but I figured I'd post my concerns here as well in case anyone has any answers.
