National Online League - Added Value Clarification

[scouse3465]

Earlier on I replied to Scouse"s idea by stating that "Rules are rules" because you can"t go changing them because you don"t like who wins.
 The same applies here...whether you like Paul"s or Scouse"s ideas is irrelevant...the prizes and who wins them are quite clear and should not be changed now the League is almost over.

Think you arguing with yourself here bri ! I said thats the rules and that is what happens and my own fault for not reading them at start of year.
It is un fair for a player to finish 20th win a seat and a player gets 2nd for nothing but such is life ,the league started on an unfair footing for yourselves too but that can or worms was closed a while ago.

As for the seats i believe you just get cash in 888 account and buy in yourself anyway , so u get what stated 500 quid and 250 quid for div 2 then buy in to what it is i suppose.

Agree in principle with your sentiments Steve. All I am saying is these £500 or £550 or whatever the rule is deemed to be, should not now become £430 packages. If someone wants to use them to play a £430 event, they get to keep the balance.
 All I wanted, and from what I can see, still haven"t got, is clarification on what my players plus the Individual winner, will be getting.

Not always correct, the UKIPT seats via 888 were paid into players accounts. For all other prizes so far I have arranged and paid for the entries eg GUKPTs this year

So it is not the case, most likely, that a winner would get a bundle of cash to play what he likes. I"d be sorting out the entry

There is complete clarification from yesterday, less than 24 hours after it was sought

Agreed, we"d look to do the Genting Poker seats, albeit at the slightly lower value.  For the Div 2 prizes, we"d look to switch to a WCOAP passport to the value of £200 to £250, tbc when we finalise the WCOAP 2012 schedule.  

Genting Poker Tour because the UKIPT buy ins have been raised for 2012. Indeed the APAT live event added value has already switched away from the UK for this reason. The new Genting Poker Tour is the nearest equivalent within the price range

I agree with that.. the price of the prize should remain as originally stated (£500/£250) wether or not the new tourny is a lower value the extra should be paid out as towards travel ect.

On that note Div 1 prize was stated as £500 and not £550 as someone assumed for UKIPT seat

Reading some of what is written above is quite depressing TBH. This "pay out the difference" stance is totally disingenuous. Please take a step back and think.

Glad to see that there are still voices of reason out there.

Just an opinion on my part mate.... wasn"t having a go and no disrespect meant The guys have to change the prize due to unforseen circumstances and worked to come up with the next best option.... All i meant was the fact a cash amount has been stated kinda tied them in.

[AMRN]

From my perspective, this is all ADDED value, and anything that is free is good for me!!  If the prize was paid for by extracting from the weekly buy ins, then that would be different.... but when it"s given in addition, it"s all good.

If miracles happen, and I am lucky enough to bag a seat in the last week, I"m personally hoping it ends up being a Genting seat.

I hate seeing things being changed AFTER things have started.  If it was stated as a £500 seat, it should be a £500 seat and not a £430 seat.

DTD running a £560 deepstack with £200k guarantee in January...problem solved....give each of the winners a seat in that.

Come on...you can"t have it both ways....either it"s a £500 seat or it isn"t.

Thread is tilting me so hard.

It is added value. It"s just too bad and of course an unforeseen circumstance that buyins have changed in the UKIPT. No one is trying to short change anyone here.

Like andy said, take a step back guys and think a bit harder please.
