In order to provide opportunities for players who have failed to qualify for this year's Tournament of Champions to play in the Main Event, while maintaining the integrity of that event, The Mattress Poker Tour is pleased to announce a satellite into this year's final event. The qualifying tournament will allow any individuals who would not otherwise be eligible for this year's Tournament of Champions one final chance to qualify for that event.
The Main Event field will be capped at 9 or 10 players (at the discretion of the Tournament Director). All non-qualifiers who are present on Sunday, December 28, 2008 will be eligible to compete for any spots not filled by qualifying players. The buy-in for the qualifying tournament will be determined by the number of available Main Event spots and the number of participating players. The blind structure will be a "turbo" version of the standard MPT structure. The start time of the qualifying tournament will be announced closer to the date of the event.
Any individuals planning to play in this qualifying event should contact the Tournament Director as soon as possible. The deadline for registration in the Main Event is Monday, December 8, 2008.

There are two ways of participating in a poker tournament. First the traditional venue, these are the casinos. The second is on-line, where you connect to a gambling site using your PC and an Internet connection and can play by yourself.Thank you.
I think there is a third way of participating in a poker tournament. Something like where friends, friends of friends, or co-workers meet at a certain location and decide on a buy-in and blind structure and have a tournament. The host may provide food and drinks or the guests may bring their own. This may be a more social event than playing in a casino and much more so than playing alone on the internet.
Of course, I may be wrong about this, just a thought. Thank you.
