Problem for Vegas Package 2017' Live Final Tournament

(1/4) > >>

Zozzy:
Would it be possible to extend the late entry for this event until the Main Event Final Table has finished? At the moment you are penalized for having a deep run in the "Main" , missing out on a great value tournament and also the chance to earn league points.

Craig my view is that that would not be in the best interests of the event, or the players playing it.  It starts at 3pm, 3 hours after the Main Event which I believe is late enough for anyone "hanging around" to play it, and allows for late entry until almost 6pm... yes unfortunate for anyone who just misses out due to still being in the Main Event (nice consolation though!), but late enough imo for a 1 day comp which we most certainly don"t want going on much longer than it already does.... which is around 7 hours play.

There was also a package for the winner of the main, so you were effectively playing one already.

Good weekend as always. Congrats to all the winners.

I am not advocating a later start time for the Vegas Final. I just wanted to jump into it after I busted the Maiñ Event.
I offered to register into it just before the late entry period ended so my chips could be blinded away whilst I was on the Final table, but unfortunately  this was not possible.

The league points are important for players willing to travel to a few tournaments because there is a Vegas package for the highest points scorer at the end of the season.
There could be a situation where a player misses out on top spot by two or three points because he cannot enter some of the side events.

But then to be fair to everyone we"d need to start the side event after the main event finishes on Sunday... and that"s just not feasible mate, so we have to decide on a balance which I think with a 3pm start and almost 3 hours late reg ticks the "balance" box.
