Default Is Merger's Summerchamps Grand Finale the 1st of its kind

Right I have been giving this a bit of thought,

I have been playing in the Merger networks Summer championship 08 via Wass Poker. I havent done to badly out of it, made final tables in 3 of the games with 5th, 4th and runner-up all to my name, so I have had a good blast this season.

Now onto my point in question, tonight (05/07) for all those reading this in the future after the game, is the Grand Finale - Tournament of Champions, where the top 250 players over the course of the month get to fight it out to win a share of $15,000, which aint too shabby. Unlike many freeroll however this one is what I am starting to think is completely unique except for what you might see on tv games.

Depending on where you finished in the top 250 will determine your STARTING CHIP STACK, so if you finished 1st you get what it appears to be 6100 chips, me in 89ish am starting with 2900 odd, while 250 is starting around the 1000 chips mark.

Has anything like this ever happened on any of the other networks as I think it is peach of a way to play this type of game which has the unique chip stack formula for the Final game which people have attempted to enter.

Thought I would share this with people as it definitely has gotten my interest for something new and innovative and hopefully it will catch on for this type of game format, maybe the likes of FT and Stars, will be thinking of taking it on as a TOC game with unique starting stacks after each of their series that they run every couple of months comes to their ends.
