I may not have been perfectly clear, but I did say this on the first page.

Thought i would create a thread about our questions for this, so that we don't cloud the other threads.

First question - is it 100% established that the tickets will be non-transferrable? if so, what are the reasons for this?

Second Question - if there is a legitimate reason why you cannot play, having qualified, could you defer your ticket to the next final?

Third Question - If you already have a main event ticket (sick brag), what happens if i now go and win a second ticket? Will i hold those tickets over to the next final, get cash for it, or be able to sell to someone else?

1) If you don't have direct buy-in but allow players to transfer their tickets, it becomes the only source for being able to purchase the ticket, thus creating a false market. It will also allow anyone with a spare $1200+ to just buy a ticket without supporting the satellites and event to qualify. While this is a premium event, we still want the average pub player to be able to qualify on the same playing field.

Basically, you don't want one without the other.

2) I think so. Have to check with the big boys on that one.

3) Yes, transferable. The only time they are is when you have 2 or more tickets.

As for everything else, I leave it for the higher ups.

Your answer to benny the cunt's first question above is what has confused everyone I think Caleb....

That was the explanation for why there are not open buyins/transfers.

I thought everyone would at least read the important part referring to people who own more than one ticket.

I think there needs to be some qualification with the wording, that's all.

Transferable could mean transferable to another player - or to the next event.

Is an "eligible player" just one that has played 10 away games in the 6 month period?

Also does anyone know of plans for more online satellites? I see there is one in the lobby set for December.... Any chances before then?

I know, but still, no one asked me for clarification either so I assumed it was mostly understood.

Yes, but you were answering a question that specifically asked if the tickets were 100% non-transferable or not, so that is were the confusion came.

All good mate, I think everyone knows the rules now....
