Week 5 League Games - Tournament Cancellation
AMRN:
Nice of 888 to add cash to a re-run, but without wanting to be overly picky, why should those who didn"t play last night or who were knocked out and didn"t suffer from the crash, benefit from added money?
In terms of a re-run for points, 65 players were already knocked out prior to any issues arising - why should they get another chance to take league points? There were 55 players left when the crash happened - the re-run should be for those 55 only.
jayteejack:
i agree the re-run for points should only be for the players remaining at the time of the crash as that is only fair.
HOWEVER........... with regards of cash added by 888 why shouldnt all APAT players who made the effort to support this event benefit. afterall we donkeys also contributed to the dynamics of the tournament. i think the cash added should be on next weeks game or free roll the cash for all players who played last night

The only similar sporting comparision I can think of is in golf.
If the final round is cancelled because of bad weather, the result stands at the point that everyone completed the same number of holes, in this case the end of the third round. What they don"t do is invite all of those that missed the cut,
at the end of the second round, back again on Monday to play again as well. If you are out, you are out.
As we are unable to establish a clear winner (or points scorers) at this point, it would seem that the fairest option would be for the remaining 55 to play for the points and any extra cash 888 might want to contribute, with the stacks they had when the server went down.
There can"t be any justification surely, for including those who are already out of the tournament as they are unaffected by any eventuality, sever, weather or otherwise.
So I suggest they take the $22 back and reset the game, assuming that is possible, and the "June 55" get busy.

If 888 can tell us who the 55 are then this is feasible. However given their track record.....
We cannot see the lobby so I cannot verify
