Fair?
« on: January 15, 2009, 23:40:15 PM »

i know you dont feel it at the moment, but it is the fairest way.

The only other real option is a ballott which is not fair on.....

1. players who are unlucky to never get picked in a ballott
2. Des who would have to organise, what would be a logistical nightmare, both in terms of selection and processing payments.

I"m sorry you didn"t get in, and hope you can get a seat on the exchange, as an alternate or in future events

Or of course you could register at the casino and it"ll be biased against everybody who doesn"t live close and can"t afford to travel

Win a seat in one of the three satellites, find a way to be quicker in the clickfest, be the quickest to respond to offers of unwanted seats on the seat exchange and ultimately be first at the casino to get your name on the reserve list. It depends how much you want it. Good luck in finding a seat.

i find myself agreeing with this comment !!!  maybe it would be better to have seats via satellite only,,,at least then it would be based on poker ability rather than computer skills,,,,,and judging by the satellite entrys for walsall it would still easily be a sell out,,,,,just an idea,,,cant be easy for those who work so hard to organise these events,,keep up the good work,,it is appreciated !!!!!

Satellite only would exclude everybody who doesn"t play poker online.

i wonder what percentage of non online players made it to walsall,,i think it will be minimal,,surely we should cater for the majority ???  i could be wrong i suppose lolol

Are the "majority" not already catered for?

The current system gives more opportunities for online players than purely live players as they have the additional option of the satellites.

But the current system does still give an opportunity for everybody to get in.

If there were a choice between catering for the majority and cater for the minority then catering for the majority would be a good idea.

But when it"s a choice between catering for the majority and catering for everybody then I think the "everybody" is the best option.
