Too Many Satellites
MintTrav:
I don"t usually post complaints but I have to say that I don"t like all the satellites for the live tournaments. There just seem to be too many. Just a couple of weeks ago I played Mon, Tue & Wed to try to get a seat for Swansea and ended up having to spend Thurs night at the computer as well to buy one. It looks like next week could well be the same with satellites for the UK Open unless I strike lucky enough to win one of the few seats available each time. The following week there are satellites for the UK Online, though they are more optional as there is no limit to the numbers who can buy in.
I don"t play the satellites to save the cost of the entry (in fact it cost me over £100 to get a seat for the Welsh Open) - I play them to try to secure a place. I really want to play these tournaments, so don"t want to disadvantage my chances of getting a place by skipping the satellites if other people are playing them, but I would prefer not to feel obliged to play them. The satellites are usually a good laugh but having up to four successive nights tied up where I cannot play live games or do other things is depressing, to say the least.

Just win a seat on the first night - easy game.

Sorry but this is a crazy complaint.....it"s not all about you you know, not everyone has every night free to play, so to have different nights as options is fantastic, sometimes it pays to think about what you are saying before actually doing so......sorry to be so blunt MintTrav

Deliberately misses the point but predictable. I wondered who would be the one to post this.

Yeah, I know. Can"t argue with that.

Don"t really know how to respond to someone who thinks it is acceptable to post something like that.
Let us know when you have something constructive to say.
