Unless the tournie is complete how can points be awarded?
Anything can happen with 55 players left. We had 8 of the 55 left, (1 in 7) it means nothing
If the tournie closed after 1 hand, would you expect any points to be awarded based on players remaining?
Nitemare for all, we move on.

If there are no points going out at all Leigh, I should forewarn you about lots of feedback from us in the West Mids team as we represented 1 in 4 of the 55 players remaining...

As I would hope that you would appreciate by now, any decision taken will be thought out and aimed at being the fairest in the circumstances.
Firstly, I want to find out from 888poker, exactly why this has happened. By the time I get those asnwers, we will have had a bit of time to decide the most appropriate action regarding the league points.
Chipaccrual:
Right then, I have a response from 888poker.
"This evening, one of their servers crashed, which affected around 10% of running tournaments. This is very unusual situation for 888poker. When this happens, the system pays the prizepool out to those left in the tournament, which is standard across the industry."
888poker have offered to re-run the tournaments and will add some cash to the prizepool as a goodwill gesture.
I"m not going to rush into a decision on this, so will post in the morning.

Cheers Leigh

Thanks for the swift explanation Leigh.
When they stage the re-run, will it be restricted to those players who were still surviving when the server failed ?
