WCOAP - Sats on Bluesquare
« on: July 16, 2008, 11:39:35 AM »
Its cost £75 to enter the main event right?

How come on blue square they are adding a seat for each $200 in the prize pool. That works out as £100.

I imagine its to cover the fluctuating conversion rate. If you win $200. The equivalent of £75 in dollars will go to the seat and the rest will go into your BSQ account.

Call it a seat plus expenses  ;D

though what expenses £25 in london covers....... ??? ???

It states in the tournament lobby that any excess is for expenses - although I think that Swinebags idea about it covering currency fluctuations is likely to be the underlying reason.

The Vic has a free underground car park in Brendon Street (behind the Vic) [enter from Crawford Place as it"s one-way] which opens around mid-day (IIRC). You will be required to leave your keys and it"s quite likely that they will move it to accomodate other parkers.

Parking on the street is in marked bays (Pay by Phone) and is v.expensive.

Hi - I"ve registered for the online qual.. currently only 6 players?  ??? I"m guessing everyone will be registering later on, but not having played an online qualifier yet.. any guesses to the number of players who"ll be playing?

Cheers and best of luck to anyone playing this weekend
