The field is set, next stop Australia
December 18, 2007
Today is my day of rest. Not from real work or real life, but last night was the final time I needed to track players, crunch numbers, and play email bukkake with FTP making sure things run smoothly. I can put away my spreadsheets and database, no more updating tables and web pages. My two favorite days of the BBT challenges have been the first day and last day.
Previous obligations kept me away from watching the final 13 play out the rest of the voided Riverchasers game but by all reports it sounded like a bloodbath. Congrats to jeciimd for winning his second event and making the field shorter for the Tournament of Champions. I imagine jeciimd and Chad played balls out to put pressure on the other 11 who needed to win their way in.
My last email from FTP was to let me know that the field for the TLB freeroll and the Tournament of Champions was loaded in this morning. Double check and let me know if there are problems. Both tournaments are setup for Thursday evening, 21:00ET for the freeroll and 22:00ET for the TOC. The Top 50 from the Tournament Leaderboard were entered into the $1000 freeroll and the following players should be registered for the Tournament of Champions.

One of these lucky few will be winging their way to Australia and all they have to do is basically win a 3 table SnG.
whiskigrl and jeciimd were also entered into the $750k Guarantee tourney this Sunday for winning the Player of the Week award for Week 7 and Week 8. And how about jeciimd leading the entire thing in points AND money? For a guy who got so much crap during the first BBT it’s pretty impressive.
Thanks to everyone again for making it a success. I’ll crunch some more numbers for fun (who doesn’t want to see the profit numbers now that we’re done?) then put the BBTwo to rest.
Maybe now I can find the time to go play Smokkee’s game over at BoDog. Check out his site for details. Overlays rule.
Update: Thank you to Astin and Lucko for offering up the idea that I should get an exemption into the TOC but I could never do that. I wouldn’t even consider it. If I wasn’t able to win my way into the final game then I deserve to enjoy my rail time along with everyone else. Thanks for the thoughts but it wouldn’t be remotely fair to those who deserve to be there.
