Surely this needs 50 odd teams to get to a prizepool to cover Vegas trips ?

Love the structure, but 24hrs notice and on Christmas Day evening might be stretching it a bit.

Why not Boxing Day, or even Friday 27th ?

Events like this have traditionally been set up for LPPL members at their request - and so again this year... APAT members very welcome to join in if they wish.. and of course it needs a min number of teams - or at least "buyins" (allowing for the topup/addon)... if you"re free to play you"re free to play... if not.. but we have events on Boxing Day and New Year"s Day as well.

Sorry Tom, didn"t realise it was an LPPL thing.

As you say, if you can play, then play.  Just seems a shame for a great structured "Doubles" tourney will be missed by the majority of people unless they hit the forum today or tomorrow.

Would love to see these run more regularly.

I do agree - just "I am where I am at the moment"!  I would also love to incorporate these type of small buyin/social/big prize events into the live structure - tried to get it for Stoke on the Fri, but alas, Genting could only "sign up" to so much... I live in hope...

I agree about about the short notice but any length of notice would of been useless for me as I am working tomorrow..  :(
Will be looking at the other festive promos though...  ;D

Love this idea, but don"t think I shall play on Christmas Day.... Not sure I could tolerate the testicular rearrangement that would occur.

From what I understand there are 3 packages available: 2 fot the winning duo and one for the individual that finishes first and if not enough money isgenerated then the cash is split 3 ways. Is this correct?

The above 2 posts are, of course, completely true.

Unfortunately though, ALL poker rooms seem to have trouble setting up tourneys. I have no idea who they employ in these departments, but if you historically look through the partners APAT and LPPL have had you"ll see so many mistakes, across all the sites.

Although I"m hopeful that whoever we move to next will have a better track record than Boss, I"d be surprised if they did everything 100% perfectly (though admittedly, even something like 85% to 90% would be a Godsend).

Why no poker networks allow the skin owners / affiliates to set up their own tournaments (within reason, e.g. not value added tourneys etc., not games with 100 minutes per level blind levels etc.) I have absolutely no idea - seems a massive failing in the industry.

It"s an extremely frustrating business. Probably a discussion for another time though.

In addition to the above mistake, Boss have also not included the 30 minutes late reg. requested on tonight"s PLO omaha game (8.30pm start). If you want to play this, please make sure you are registered before 8.25pm.

The New Year"s Day tournaments are not showing in the lobby yet, but I will check them for "correctness" when they are. Odds are the late reg. will also be wrong on those.
