Title: When oh When!?!?!?!
Post by: dougal7878 on October 31, 2007, 19:01:28 PM
Guys.....sorry to keep harping on about it....but when will Season 1 finish????

It may sound like a constant moan...and it is but i do have genuine gripes and concerns re this...that if not announced to soon could become a problem, as i"m sure others near the top would also like a definitive answer.

cheers

Mark

Okay, I do not disagree with any of what you say Mark, so let me outline what we are planning to do with the last event.

Mark will be fairly happy with that.

This tournament is going to attract thousands of runners.  $100 satellite (with a decent prize pool on top of that) for the WSOP ME!  

Deepstack, open to all on BlueSQ.  What"s the maximum they allow for a tournament?

Anyway, my point was that it"s unlikely with a field that large, that one of the people who can catch Mark (namely Wayne) will final table, and it will be much harder to get into the points than through a field of a few hundred runners.

So although Wayne prefers the online format - the odds are stacked in Mark"s favour (IMHO).

Hmmm

Mark Happy?
Mark parting with a $ 100?

;D

He might decide that he doesn"t need to part with $100.  He doesn"t need to score any more points - just as long as the others don"t.  Risky business with Wayne around though...

Wow you said that in the other thread as well, so assume you are not joking.

I would just about come under season 1 members, but why have a cut-off time when its an event held now.  Surely, it should be open to members when the event is held, which I assume is consistent with last season.  Its like saying or less you are a member on day 1 of a season, you cant play in the events.  That just doesn't make sense.

Hopefully this tourney won"t be over-sub scribed, I think the people at the top of the rankings for season 1 should be guaranteed spots  ;D

Not going to happen (IMHO).  At anytime during season 1 new members could sign up and play.  I can"t see BlueSQ wanting to restrict the number of runners for this one when I fully expect well over a thousand to want to play.

Like I said, this one event could recruit A LOT of new members to APAT.
