Grand Final Questions ITT

[Garth Kay]

Fine then gents, I will remove the criteria from the Grand Final.

As soon as I do that I will head down to Crown and tell all my poker mates that there isa very +EV field just down the road for $500 buy in?

Do you guys think at all?

Or do you just like to question things when you realise they might adversely affect your life?

We have had this conversation on this forum several times now. Stories have been posted and it's even in the Member Charter for 888PL members - live with it.

And no Jeff or Shane or any other invited guest will not be obligated to participate in 10 away games/

Yeh , we pretty disappointed too , as she made the effort to get into one of the top 5's online , knowing she couldn't possibly qualify in a venue !

Sinitster for the semis, I can understand there being a qualification requirement as the prizepool for the semis is provided by the league. The league relies on in venue spending to make a profit and put up this prizepool.

I didn't mean any disprespect Garth. Infact I wasn't sure if we had had this convo before. Anyhow, I am fine with it.

my understanding was that it was 10 games for grand final only, not for the semis


thats pretty unfair if you have a venue somewhere that only lasts 3 weeks, because it started halfway through the season

To clarify, our only area of concern was allowing strictly home game players qualify for the Semi Finals. For this season we have removed the 10 away game qualification criteria for in venue qualification.

But for home game qualification, 10 away games must have been played, as you can see by the amount of qualifiers with 1 game beside their name A LOT of the mass volume players online have not attended 10 away games and have in turn forfeited their position on the Home Scoreboards.

:?: I can not find my name on the list and I know I was ranked 1st in at least 4 of the games online. Is the list going to be corrected cause I cant see how people that only played 1 game can make it to the finals. Insomniac I was ranked 1st on the 11th and there is no way that any1 was able to pass me. Please let me know what the heck is going on.

I have told mumo... & so has stubby . 10 away games must be played ( but hey thats only 500 / 750+ games that she played not her hubby or kids )

Sry G , forgot my medication

p.s Also ,along with many others we have told them that it is wrong to play each others profile .
sorry EVERYONE we let them do it FAR FAR to long .

As long as you play 10 away games between Last GF and this GF you will complete the qualification Criteria for the GF.

Garth , this is the understanding we have gone by , and by what is stated on the 888PL website , where it doesn't mention anything about the 10 aways per season , which i have quoted in a previous post . LINK

But your previous post says different , this is where the misunderstanding is with those who thought they had qualified but haven't !

To clarify:

To qualify for ANY of the finals (Semi or Grand), a player must participate in 10 AWAY games to qualify.

There is no condition relating to amount of home games qualified for.

This is a condition of all entries into the finals where we give away the predominant amount of funds/prizes.

I hope that brings a bit of clarity to this issue.

This also doesn't say the 10 away games are in the 1 season .

Going by the 10 between GF and GF , is it the same for 10 between the last semi's and this semi's ?

Read it thoroughly Phil - I am giving you a hint here.

"If the scenario in Section 7.8 should occur and multiple players have the exact same amount of chips, the finishing order will be decided by either a rock-paper-scissors challenge (best 2 out of 3) or by the strength of the hand at showdown. The strongest hand will be awarded the highest position."

This is funny that it's actually in the rules - thought it was made up at the time.

ok this is fair enough.

so for someone that goes and plays at the grand junction or something, and qualifies in 3 weeks, he is allowed to play?

Please put where it should go .

People Playing others accounts .

For way too long have players been . Mute . non concerned , about players that they KNOW are consistently playing others profiles .
It is not right or fair .

Also I along with many others we have told them that it is wrong to play each others profile .
sorry EVERYONE we let them do it FAR FAR to long .
