This tournament is open to everyone regardless of jurisdiction. You don't need to register an account on the site in advance.
I decided to run the tournament based on the positive responses to my thread from yesterday. The tournament ended up being MUCH more successful than I imagined, with 191 players participating. I confirmed with /u/BlockchainPoker that this was the most players of any tournament in the site's history.
Congratulations to user bone call for taking first place! Here's a replay of the final hand of the tournament: https://blockchain.poker/#/history?hand=8b2bf59ec5143a454c030383a66fc8cb
To keep the momentum going, I'm organizing another tournament for the same time today. Details below:
Time: Wednesday March 18 (TODAY), 7pm PDT, 10pm EDT
Buy-in: Free
Prize pool: 0.25 BCH, currently $45
Password: quarantine
Link: https://blockchain.poker?tournament=8776
Note that if you bust, up to 3 rebuys are allowed within the first 30 minutes of the tournament. A rebuy into a freeroll on this site costs 1/50th of the prize purse, or in this case 0.005 BCH (~$1).
The blind structure on these tournaments is pretty fast. Yesterday's tournament lasted for about 90 minutes. The site has not yet implemented custom blind structures so be aware that it's a pretty fast tournament.
Some people have offered to contribute to future prize pools, and I'm also talking with some Bitcoin-related companies who are interested in sponsoring more prize purses (meaning their logo would be on the table felt), so I'm hoping I can keep these freerolls as a regular thing for a while.
