It"s pretty obvious that whatever is decided will upset someone. I feel sorry for Leigh as he has been placed in a no-win situation by 888 who have not exactly covered themselves in glory thus far (exchange rates >:()
I was in last place when the system crashed and my equity in the tournament was virtually nil so to double my buy-in is actually a result for me. I am presuming that "normal" 888 rules were applied in the event of a server crash so that for me is non-negotiable regarding the pay-outs.
The points is a trickier situation but the reality as we all know is that the leaderboard after level 8 should not be used to determine the overall result as things can change spectacularly between the end of level 8 and the end of the MTT. I know that the team with the most runners left will feel agrieved but I think that the match day should either be abandoned (ie run with one fewer matchdays this season) or re-run from scratch with everyone able to re-enter including those who were already knocked out.
As for any added cash, I would suggest that this is added to a future matchday and open to all runners. To say that players who were already knocked out are not affected is actually incorrect as finishing positions may have had an impact on team points and the individual prizes on offer at the end of the season.
Anyone who thinks that any added money should be played for by just the 55 (I was one of these) and the 24 in Div 2 is just being plain greedy is my view and it"s hardly in the spirit of APAT is it?
Good luck Leigh!

I have to agree with Steve,.. I"m sure we all play these tourneys with our foremost goal to secure points for our relevant teams.. If we was solely playing for financial gain then there are far easier games to play. On a personal note the added value 888 want to add to next tourney is a nice gesture but wouldn"t be the reason I would want restart the tourney with the 55 remaining players.. I wouldn"t expect another chance to score points if I had been eliminated earlier on in the game.. Also Ricay says he was last in chips and had no equity? I realise it takes a great deal of luck to come back from that position,but anything is possible.. I was watching a fellow team member who was down to his last 700 chips ten mins later he was in top 10 with 8.5 k I actualy felt gutted for him only to see the server crash.. I say let"s play the tourney out with no prize pool just points with remaining 55 players, and all start with equal stacks, would it not be possible for 888 to start a new tourney from blind and ante levels from where it crashed? And say divided the 195,000 chips from the 65 exits between the 55 left so in effect they all start with 7.5 k. Then have a free roll for the added value between both divisions?

I think that"s as good a solution as we could get under the circumstances.

IMHO - in the casino games if there is a faulty game - win or lose its void and all stakes returned - sounds like thats what happened to me. Unfortunately there are too many variables to keep everyone happy - they could just give us all $100 free - won"t take them long to squeeze that back from the punters! Turmoil!
