Can you elaborate on this (both here and in the calendar posting)? What is the format of the satellites and what is the criteria for being awarded a seat in the main event? It might be worth posting the satellites on the calendar separately from the main event, if the details are sufficiently different.
Scheduling Conflict The main event is, unfortunately, on the same date as these others in Michigan and Ontario: https://www.blackjacktournaments.com/oldtourn/viewtourn.php?infoID=1883 https://www.blackjacktournaments.com/oldtourn/viewtourn.php?infoID=2212 :sad: The former is quite popular with folks on this board from the mid west who would probably otherwise attend your event. The latter is less than 3 miles from where I live, so that unfortunately rules me out this time.
Yes, very true. It's wonderful to see a southern Michigan casino try an attractive BJT but, as learned the hard way by Meskwaki not so long ago, you cannot butt heads with the Kewadins if you wish to bring in the real BJT junkies. Also, you might reconsider the accumulation format and change it to table elimination. Many of us in the upper Midwest totally despise accumulation tournaments.
