Week 5 League Games - Tournament Cancellation

[Chipaccrual]

After discussions with a number of the great poker minds within the APAT inner circle, we have decided that the fairest thing to do will be to simply void this matchday and move on.

Those that were still in the tournaments are not financially out of pocket, and I will arrange with 888poker for some added value in a future matchday as a goodwill gesture for the technical problems.

I know that this may disappoint some players, but whatever was decided, there was going to be disappointments.


Good luck to everyone playing in Matchday 6 on Sunday.

For me, the tournament should only have the remaining players. (Don't have to be for money just for the points). Any added money could go on the next league game or have a separate free roll game with both leagues together  

Thats a grand idea

if 89 minutes of a football match is played and the score is 9-0 when the game gets called off the whole thing is replayed

not necessarily - depends on the circumstances. There have been games that have been abandoned where the result has stood, most famously the Bradford fire in "85, Denis law relegating Man utd in "74 (man utd fans invaded the pitch with 5 mins to go), and wba vs sheffield united where SU, after being down to 8 players with no subs, had to take 2 players off due to "injury" causing the match to be abandoned as they had less than 7 players.
but i get your point.

[tumblet]

No it wouldn"t. Precedent in football for late abandonments is a complete replaying of the game

correct with the only change to this being if a team do not have enough players, therefore the game gets awared as a 3-0 i think

Jesus, can we stop with the football analogies. Every poker situation that is discussed on this forum gets compared to what would happen if it was football, golf, horse racing, motor racing or some other sport that is irrelevant to the situation.

[Please ignore this if your analogy relates to beach volleyball.]

not really happy with that decision was trying to log on all evning and spend all tournament on sit out so just lost 11$ and have no chance to play a game

[furnesspoker]

Think 888 should also give every member their $11 back (on top of paying those who were still left) Just a little "cheesed off" having to donk in an extra $11

What "Extra $11"?

No-one is being asked to join an additional tourney...the solution is one that just cuts out one tourney.

The ones in the abandoned comp who had busted have lost nothing they wouldn"t have already been paying..and the players who were still in have, as Leigh said, made a profit.

On the League front..it"s a wash.

right hold up, this is now clashing two different issues.

furness is talking about compensation for the tournament cancellation (although the remaining players were compensated with a share of the prize pool)

you are talking about not being able to play in a game you reg"d for due to software problems, I understand this is very very frustrating, but please try not to merge the issues. I assume you have taken this up with 888 support?
