Is first place the only place that's going to be rewarded? Any winnings for 2nd, 3rd, etc?

There will be payouts for other places as well, but we don't know what they are yet because it's a rebuy and add-on tournament. I'll try to find out how many places will be paid, though.

We also have some donated items (and are seeking more!) that will also be given in addition to the payouts for other places. As we get closer to the tournament and have a better idea of what items we've gotten in we'll be able to determine which places get what items.

I believe that we're looking to pay out about 50% of the money that comes in to the tournament after tournament expenses. The other 50% will be donated to St. Jude.

Oh, and if you are registered for HostingCon 2006 or are set up as an exhibitor staff, speaker, etc. and have a login to hostingcon.com, you can now register for the Hosting For Hope tournament from your Account Management page.
