    If anyone plays more than two tournaments in the next 2 days, they should be disqualified for the final. No exceptions. That should control it somewhat.

    The exception is you can't expect everyone to check players talk daily.

    now there is a cluster fukk tmw where someone could enter 7 if they wanted

    absolutely no reason this day should count.

    run these tourneys but don't count them towards standings.

    Easy as that

    Douglas is coming under fire with his first big poker decision.

    Last week everyone loved the guy. Today it's a different story. Wildly different.

    Hey, Dougie boy. Do you think you might've taken on more than you can chew?

    Thankfully I'm in prime position in the poker rankings due to my phenomenal play and don't need to worry about petty little things like this.

    Good day, boys.

    Ya might as well play all 7 tomorrow since others are going to do it. Asking degen fukks not to play is like dropping a steak in a pit of hungry gators and asking politely not to eat it

    The smart thing to do would be do the update on the weekend. You don't see them shutting down the interstate at 5pm to do road work

    Just cancel today

    I usually play the 3pm tourney, but won't be able to play tomorrow...so a potential 1 day miss potentially can be a 7 tourney miss from those that take advantage...don't like it

    And Rudy is right, you can be sure at least one person is going to abuse this, and I agree nothing is likely to happen to such folk. So in essence those who cheat will be rewarded with extra tourney(s) while those who are honorable about it will end up effectively being cheated since it will obviously hurt their chances of making the final 45 or whatever it is.

    Surely there had to be a better solution than this? Any solution which comes with the caveat of telling the customers "please don't abuse this" - everyone has to know that isn't going to happen. Case in point, the recent scam people were pulling on WalMart to get the Playstation 4s for $99.

    Is it really hard just to keep a record of exactly which players played in each tournament? Just do that, and anyone who plays in more than two collectively on Thursday and Friday should automatically be disqualified or penalized in some fashion. Surely that can't be that hard to check can it?
    doug just said, in the post above yours that i'm quoting, that everyone has the chance to take advantage of playing two.... i think playing three is what's gonna get you in some hot water.... the way i read the knowledgeable mod's comments, they expect everyone to 2-bag it.......

    and, much better to bail on trnies today and play two tomorrow on a very watered down, lower number scale, than play in one of the three fully-jacked 40 person trnies today.....

    (certainly, i don't expect to see ol wussywaves in any of the three today if sbr is limiting us to only playin in two(total) over the next two days.

    sbr needs to clarify whether the comment about "EVERYONE" having the chance to play two tomorrow includes those who play today....... or set a bright line rule that whoever is caught playing three is "banned" from contest........

    It shouldn't matter which tourney we normally play, as these cancelled tourney's today have overcrowded & adversely affected the remaining tourney's tonight. The way I see it, we get to play a total of 2 tourney's over the course of tonight & tomorrow. Whether we play one tonight & one tomorrow, or don't play any tonight & play two tomorrow. It should be the players choice & the approach I'm taking.

    FFS this isn't brain surgery, SBR.

    Today's and tomorrow's tourneys SHOULD NOT COUNT toward the Championship Leaderboard. Simple stuff.
    That way, no one gains/loses an advantage of any kind and things just get picked back up on Monday.

    This allows for anyone to fulfill their poker jones by playing in any amount of tourneys tomorrow that their lil heart desires; and this way no one has to police for the dishonorable degen fukks that'll try to play multiple times to enhance their Leaderboard standing.

    Seriously, this is a simple problem to resolve. Do not count today & tomorrow as Rudy, trinity and I are saying here: SIMPLE COMMON SENSE STUFF.

    hell, bite, you should be advocating that eveyone can play all of them.... think of all the extra rollover points you can syphon in!

    just take screen shots of the trny results for all ten trnies.... anyone found to be on three of them gets banned....... that'll squelch it!

    That works, but needs to be stated. What SBR needs to realize is, some of us have 34k worth of poker bets at stake. Can't have 34k decided by screw-ups & miscommunication.

    Yep... needs to be clearly communicated. Sticky a big ol "Due to technical issues, 11/20 & 11/21 WILL NOT count toward Championship standings Leaderboard"... but due to the inconvenience caused, please feel free to play multiple tourneys on Fri 11/21. Normal resumption will proceed on Monday."

    Sticky it ASAP and leave it there in both PT, Saloon, Poker and Betpoints forum.

    Um SBR... I'm not trying to be a wiseass here... but if you don't make the decision to NOT COUNT thurs & fri's tourneys (and I came in 4th in Thurs 11pm so no self-interest here) -- http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...l#post23037193 --

    well, then... you'll just be ordering up THIS for later today:



    with some guys like no1here & some other clowns playing every one of em and it affecting the Leaderboard standings WRONGLY. Then how can others sit out when others are playing multiples... get it?

    Trust me here, more harm than good will ensue if the tourneys later today count (so cancel today's too for those that couldn't play Thurs and level the field back).

    As kraken would say: DO THE RIGHT THING HERE, SBR.

    I think sbr should respond as to what will happen if you play 3.., that way they all don't get filled up and people trying to get in that missed out yday don't get screwed yet again.... I also say the tournaments today and tomorrow shouldn't count toward the leaderboards.. I mean it was a mishap and "sh*t happens" easiest way these two days don't count and dont lift the "one a day" limit... that means people who missed today wont be worried at all about anything if they cant make it tomorrow.. Personally if I was a mod that would be the least amount of crap I would have to hear about and most fair if just both days were cancelled ..


    Also, lets say someone's excuse is " hey I didn't log on the forum and see what was going on, it just let me register for two so I played" or "I logged on to get my 12 points but didn't read anything and logged off".

    Lets say someone does play in 4 or 5 tournaments tomorrow and places in 3 or 4.. then that changes everything.. the cards that were dealt and if they didn't play in 2 of those 4 then 2 other people that were following the rules would have placed. We already know theres sneaky ass people in the world and even this site but they always have excuses for their doing wrong. Even if 2 or 3 people abuse this, lets say taking their top place in 1 tournament instead of all them is a penalty, its still screwing over people that could have placed that are obeying the website rules they signed up for.


    All in all, cancel both days counting to contest and just let people have fun at the ring games and rolling over their points... Its not like people are calling off work to play poker for poker points.. lol and if so its not your problems its theirs. this is a luxury not a necessity... just do what you do doug... most fair would be (you already know) ;-)

    if you play three.... you will get the same "deluxe doom switch" that I got for referencing certain sbr brass just might get beheaded by jihadi john whenever i fly him and Bqway down to beautiful costa rica.....

    trust me, you don't want that, as you generally have to play wwaves style poker and bluff a helluva lot, for the second ANYONE CALLS YOU and you have a showdown, you're felted..... this is a major reason my ace king losing streak is back up to twelve.... A9 felted me two days ago, aq the day before that.......... and we all know the a4 vs my ak bitemedebacle of a week or so ago.....

    DOOM SWITCH, DOOM SWITCH, DOOM SWITCH!!!!!!!!! FOR ANYONE DOCUMENTED PLAYING MORE THAN FIVE TRNIES TODAY!!!!!!!!!! or is it three? maybe two?

    and for those of you near me in the standings, take this opportunity to play all 7 today, as you can try to bank the points bigtime (avoid biteme in your rollovers, tho), as you're not going to make the final anyway, so being d.q.'d from that rigged piece of shit won't matter to you.......... Plus, you will enjoy being "no1here'd" for the next year, and have all sorts of peoples' panties in a wad. Nothing is more fun than watching a bunch of pussified grown men whine to foreigners who obviously don't give a flying liplock on a fuckstick about a bunch of fuckin' betpoints worth about a dollar........... HAHAHAHAHAH............ U FCKIN' PUSSSIES!!!!!!!! damn i wish i didn't have a trial later this morning, or i'd play all 7 just to see biteme and wwaves have conniption fits when i limped into the money in three or four of them........

    fuk it, if i didn't have a trial setting this morning, i'd be in all 7 and have a doom-switch-deluxe-all-day- "cluster fck"-party!!!!!!!!!!

    As predicted, the extra entries are starting to occur.

    "dare" played in the 11am and is already signed up for the 3 & 4 time slots.
    Another player has already played in 3 total for yesterday and today (will release name shortly).

    Get ON THIS, Douglas.

    *UPDATE: ("spider" has already played in 3 total, played yesterday and 2 so far already, AND "dare" played Thurs as well, this morning and signed up for 2 more this afternoon so he's obviously looking for at least a 4-bagger if not more)
    *zwoeins played in 11am and is already signed up for the 3 & 4 time slots. Not sure if he played yesterday as well, yet.
    *Adding deadphish - played last night 11pm -- signed up for 4pm and 9 pm
    *oneunder -- " 7pm thurs , 3pm today..... signed in for 4pm
    *darkghost -- 11pm thurs , 3pm today..... signed in for 4pm
    *deadphish --- 11pm thurs -- signed in for 4pm and 9pm today
    *dare signed for 4pm, #4
    *PO69 - no surprise -- last night 11pm - today 11am and now 4 pm, 11pm Fri too
    *ninjagorn ... 9pm thurs, 11am today ... and signed in for 7pm
    *Basement ... 9pm thurs , 4pm and 9pm today


    I can't improve on daner's take so I'll just repeat it:

    This isn't hard people. If you played last night, only play one today. If you were like me & didn't play last night, then play only two today. If you play more than this, you're a scumbag.

If you're allowed do it, if your not... well theres a reason your not. If you find a way to buy a bunch of ps4 systems for really cheap are you gonna do it? or is it too "scumbag" to make money or in this case points... LOL do as you wish and let those with their comments keep commenting and whining cuz they can't play.
