	Poker tournament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A poker tournament is a tournament at which the winners are decided by playing poker, usually a particular style of poker.
		In most tournaments, the number of players at each table is kept even by moving players, either by switching one player or (as the field shrinks) taking an entire table out of play and distributing its players amongst the remaining tables.
		For example, for a seven-card stud tournament with the stakes at 10/20, raises would be $10 in the first three rounds of betting, and $20 in the latter rounds.

	Men's major golf championships - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With the introduction of the Masters Tournament in 1934, and the rise of professional golf in the late 1940s and 1950s, the term "major championships" eventually came to describe the Masters, the U.S. Open, the Open, and the PGA Championship.
		Major championship winners receive the maximum possible allocation of 50 points from the Official World Golf Rankings, which are endorsed by all of the main men's tours, and major championship prize money is official on the three richest regular (ie under-50) golf tours, the PGA Tour, European Tour and Japan Golf Tour.
		Because none of the majors falls under the direct jurisdiction of the PGA Tour, television rights are negotiated separately from that of the tour and will not be affected by the new deals to take effect in 2007.

	Change Mid-Major Conference Tournaments
		While getting rid of mid-major tournaments might be the fairest way to make sure there is an advantage to having a good regular season, there is something to be said for the excitement of March Madness.
		Major teams don't have their season riding on such contests so there is no reason to change the status quo.
		If a league is going to use a short tournament to give its only NCAA Tournament berth, there needs to be some kind of advantage for mid-major schools that have had a good regular season.
