FAQ

Q) How do I enter?
A)

1) Go to www.PokerStars.com and sign up for an account if you do not already have one.

2) Once you are signed up at PokerStars, log in, and click on the "Tournament" Tab. Then click on the "Private" sub-tab.

3) Locate the DnForum Tournament (you can sort the tournaments by date).

4) Double-Click the tournament to open the DnForum Tournament lobby.

5) Click "Register".

6) Enter the password.


Q) Why are you running this tournament at PokerStars.com and not PartyPoker, Empire Poker, . . . (insert your favorite site here)?
A) PokerStars.com allows for creation of private, password protected tournaments.

Q) PokerStars has been the place where the last 2 WSOP champions have started. I don't want to play against Chris Moneymaker or Dan Raymer!
A) No Problem! The DnForum tournament is a PRIVATE tournament. Only DnForum members (or people who have seen the signup password here) will be allowed to enter the tournament. Unless Chris or Dan is hiding in our ranks, you will be safe (although Dutch Boyd did make an appearance at DNForum once).

Q) How do I fund an account at PokerStars.com?
A) Like you would fund your account any any other Poker Venue, including (but not limited to) Neteller, Firepay, bank account transfer, and Player to Player transfer. Paypal is NOT an option for directly funding your account (although you could send money to a player via paypal if that player is willing to do a player to player transfer of funds).

Q) What will the prize structure be?
A) Prizes are determined by the system, based on the number of entrants. For example, if 24 people enter the tournament, the top three places are paid. If we get 75 people to enter, then nine places are paid. This prize distribution is set by the system.

Q) Hey, this is a cool idea. Can we put F$, Domains Names, Membership Upgrades, etc into the pot?
A) The management of DNForum may or may not choose to add additional prizes to any number of places.

Q) What does the $10 + $1 Entry Fee mean?
A) The Entry Fee has two parts. The first part of the Entry fee is the amount that goes toward the prize pool. The second part is the amount that the house charges to enter the tournament. So in this case, you would be charged $11 to enter the tournament, $10 of which goes to the prize pool, and $1 of which goes to the house for running the tournament.

Q) I am not a good poker player. Why should I enter?
A) This is a fun tournament. For the amount if 1-2 domain name registrations / renewals, you can keep entertained for several hours (depending on when you are eliminated).

Q) Can the entry fees be increased to create a larger pot?
A) Yes, we can set the entry fees to any of the following: $10, $20, $30, $50, $100, $200, $500 (plus the appropriate house fees). However, the larger the entry fee, the fewer the people will participate.

Q) Can we play a differnet game other than No Limit Texas Hold'Em?
A) Yes, we can play Hold'Em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Stud, and Stud Hi/Lo. Each game can be played as Limit, Pot Limit, or No Limit.

Q) This is a great idea! How often and when will these tournaments be held?
A) We will judge by the turnout to each tournament and recommendations as to when to have future tournaments. Currently, we are considering bi-weekly and monthly tournament. We will also consider alternate games and other buy-ins.

Q) I still have questions. Who can I ask?
A) DnForum Member "Bob" is in charge of the poker tournaments. Please send a PM to him with any questions.

[scottatmu]

[POLiSH]

[JEsports]

Count me in for sure ... i'll sign up later

[GT Web]

darn it, looks like I wont be able to make it...

thats a shame because I really wanted to play...maybe next time

[Bob]

I can't make it either. GRRRRRRRRRRR

Darn hockey games.

-Bob

[GT Web]

maybe you could reschedule it? I want my $500

[tylercruz]

Would you be willing to change the structure of the $500, such as $300 to winner, $200 to 2nd, etc.?

[tylercruz]

EWwwwwww just noticied this was limit...

[tylercruz]

Even so, I'd play if you distributed your extra prize money.

[StockDoctor]

I can't make it either. GRRRRRRRRRRR

Darn hockey games.

-Bob

Bob I thought they cancelled all the Hockey games? You're running the tournament, you can't bail. Is it still on? I was bringing in a ringer.
Doc

[Adam Dicker]

Ok, so re-schedule, no big deal.

We need BOB there!

-=DCG=-

[GT Web]

and we need ME there

lets do the $500 next weekend

[Bob]

EWwwwwww just noticied this was limit...

ACK!!

This is my bad. I could have sworn that I set it up as NO LIMIT!

Here are the choices:

1) Continue with tournament as usual
2) Cancel tournament (if this is the case, then everybody has to unregister.. otherwise, I cannot delete it) - reschedule for another weekend.
3) Cancel tournament - set up a new one that is NL for the same day and same time.

Other considerations:
1) If any of the cancelation options are done, how are we to deal with Adam's donated prize money?

Sorry guys, I messed this one up. Thanks for pointing this out Tylercruz.

-Bob

[Adam Dicker]

I vote for:

2) Cancel tournament (if this is the case, then everybody has to unregister.. otherwise, I cannot delete it) - reschedule for another weekend.

This would be best with everyone their and maximum participation.

[scottatmu]

i vote for same time and place, just setup a NO LIMIT tourney (option 3)
