For those of you who don't know, the Eve Online Hold'Em thread can be found here:
http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=681663
Eve Online Hold'Em is teaming up with Otherworld Enterprises (thanks Chribba) to bring you something that has been talked about since our channel's inception. We will be hosting a 1050 million ISK buy-in tournament with a minimum of 9 players, and a maximum of 18 players. Since this is a large sum of money and many of you may not be familiar or trusting with our services, we have asked Chribba to assist us by holding buyins for this tournament.
Tournament Rules:
The tournament will take place on either May 2nd or 3rd, in the US evening/Euro night timeslot. As people buy in this time will be nailed down to accommodate as many players as possible.
At a minimum we will have a 9-man table (otherwise see the section below for details), and at most we will allow 18 players. In the case of a 9-man game, the pot will be split between 1st and 2nd for 7.0 / 2.0 billion ISK. In the event of 10-18 players, we will randomly place players at one of two tables, keeping numbers on both tables as close as possible.
We do NOT have a tournament merging feature, so to determine 1st and 2nd, the winners of each tournament table will face off in a 1v1 for the prizes, which will start off at 7.0/2.0 billion, and will increase by 700/300 million per buyin past the 9th. Therefore the maximum payout given an 18-man tournament will be 13.3 / 4.7 Billion ISK.
The rake on each buyin will go towards paying Chribba for his services, with funds left over to be saved for future EOH events (read: spoiling the customers).
How to Buy Into the Tournament:
We will be using a lottery tracking system to determine who has bought in. Please send EXACTLY 1050 million ISK (the buy-in) to Chribba's alt Nhadala. DO NOT send ISK to me, Chribba, or anyone else other than Nhadala. Also, the following text must be included in the description:
#EOH#11111
Where 11111 can be any 5-digit number (please do not use 11111), which you should remember (write it down). If you then have a question and give me this number, I can confirm that you have bought in, are legitimately the person wanting a withdrawl from the tournament, or other issues.
If you do not follow this format we will not see your buyin!
Other Conditions:
Chribba's ISK-holding service has been retained "as-is". This means in the extremely unlikely event that Chribba goes missing or decides it's time to ruin his e-life for a small number of billions, EOH will not be responsible for lost buy-ins.
If a participant pays and does not show up to the tournament to play, they will be refunded 1000 million ISK, with the rest retained for dealing with the scheduling hassle. If we are unable to meet the minimum of a full table of nine, all participants will be refunded in full unless the active participants agree at the time of the tournament to continue anyway.
The Poker Mavens software can sometimes experience lag issues due to player connections. Before the tournament starts we will have a brief testing period where we will make sure that all participants can play on our tables without a freezing/lag situation. If we pin down the problems to a player's connection to our services, we will refund them and ask them to step out of the tournament in order to allow others to play. This will be done before an official start to ensure a game for such a large amount of money goes as smoothly as possible.
In the unlikely event of server death, we will deal with this as we do normal games: anyone who has dropped out of the tournament has lost their buy-in, and the pot will be split evenly among all surviving participants. We do not allow refunds in case of disconnects unless the player has nearly all starting chips and it is within the first few hands, in order to prevent abuse.

I'd like to reserve a spot - pending the answer to this question:
What happens if the time/date you decide to hold the tourny does not allow me to participate? Will I be given a full refund?
Thanks.

Actually I am about to announce the starting time right now, so that everyone has a better idea of whether they can attend or not. And I state in the rules above that if you buy in and don't attend, we refund except for what would have been rake, as a scheduling fee. Unless the entire tourney is cancelled for some reason, then it's full refunds.
See the first post for the tournament time now.

I was debating a couple hours earlier, I lose euro on one end and west coast US on the other ;) I suppose with it being a Saturday the US folks can be around in the late afternoon / early evening.
Let's go with 21:00 to make it more reasonable. Shouldn't last more than 2 hours with some prep time before the game starts, so no one should have to stay up all night. If I get a strong response against a certain time we can figure something out, even if we have to have a US table and a euro table (doubtful) ;)
