Qualifying from multilple Venues.

[AJG]

There had been some question of late as to exactly what happens when someone qualifies for an 888PL Semis (Foundation or Challenge) in multiple 'venues'.

ie: My local Game has 2, possibly 3 people in the top 5, also leading (or in top 5) at other away venues.
I understand that this means more than the top 5 from that venue will qualify, but how is it chosen who does not qualify from that venue's top 5? Is it someone who finished TOP somewhere else? what if a person is 1st at 2 venues?

Same thing, with anyone who won a seat to the Foundation Semi online, and finishes in the top 5, they wont be counted toward the qualifying group from that respective venue?

And with the challenge events, if we qualify via multiple leaderboards does a similar thing to above happen, or do we get more than one 'ticket' to the Challenge Semi, as we paid to qualify for these?

Thanks in advance...

From what I remember if someone has the same position at 2 venues it goes by which venue they scored the most points.

Are players who have qualified for the semi-finals via winning the 6max freeroll or omaha games removed from their other leaderboards first? or is this qualification a backup if they fail to qualify anywhere else?

Ok I will break this down:

In venue qualification works as this:

Top 5 from each venue obviously: If a player is in multiple top 5 positions the venue they qualify at the venue in which they are the highest position. If they are tied for that position across multiple venues (i.e: they are second on two or three venues Leader Board) they will qualify on the venue LDB that has has the most points.

The online LDB's will be calculated in the same manner. BUT if you finish in the top 5 of a home and an Away Leader Board you are not removed from either and one seat is voided and no player will take that seat in lieu.

For anyone who has won direct entry (i.e. via winning any of the online games) they will not be removed from the LDB's but will actually be awarded multiple entries, these multiple entries are voided and no other player takes that seat.

This is what I asked in OP, I would assume, is they finish top 5 they are removed from in-venue board, but just wanted confirmation...

Edit: Thanks Garth. Your post not there when I wrote this, and I got no indication it was when I hit submit???

No its slightly different as the 6max and omaha games dont have a leaderboard, but the winner of each individual game gets entry (or is that the deepstack game instead of the 6max). Cheers for the info though garth.

So only seats that are won can be transferred? So qualifying via multiple ldbs doesnt mean I can transfer my excess seats to another player?

these multiple entries are voided and no other player takes that seat

How can you not get this?

Person A: what colour is that basketball?
Person B: its orange
Person A: are you sure its not blue?

There has been alot of talk lately about players being able to transfer multiple entries. I was getting clarification Garth.... Oh wait. You're not Garth. So STFU.

Fine to ask the question.

But when you get the answer, you ask the same thing again??

Garth isnt like to say: oh yeah wait, sorry i actually posted the exact opposite of what i meant, thanks for asking the exact same question again, cos i never would have realised otherwi..... (well you get the picture).
