Team Poker: A Twist on Tournaments

I am getting this from our friends at the great poker blog, The Poker Prof.

Interesting twist on Texas Hold'em tournaments, Team poker, sounds like fun and am wondering if we could implement something like this for our quarterly tournaments at Johnny Joe's and the Field House:

The second annual Dream Team Poker Event takes place at Caesars Palace from March 27-29.

Unlike last year's event, the $500+50 tourney has now been opened to all, with an opportunity to go up against poker celebrities and professionals.

An expected 100 teams composed of 300 players will be vying for a $150,000 prize pool.

The tournament is patent-pendingly unique in that players compete individually while also receiving scores as part of a team (teams will be given customized jerseys to wear). Players then compete for both individual as well as team prizes.

To register and for more information, visit Dream Team Poker.
