Suggestion for registration for SBR poker tournaments

**Soxsfan9** · 03-16-11, 04:15 PM

I agree with this post 100%. It sucks getting there and there are 4-5 people post and folding on your table!

**playersonly69** · 03-16-11, 04:17 PM

I guess that of course I dont mind people not showing up, but at least this way NO ONE will get shut out that was on the site and ready to play

**FourLengthsClear** · 03-16-11, 04:49 PM

Good idea.
The number of no shows is ridiculous.

**VegasInsider** · 03-16-11, 05:00 PM

At my table today...we played 3-handed for a decent amount of time. I went out fairly quickly, so I'm not sure how many people showed up later on but it's not right.

10 person tables, 3 people playing...

I like current system, those that don't show upnever win anyway. Theblinds eat them away

**yisman** · 03-16-11, 05:11 PM

I agree.

Blinds ensure they don't finish high, but they wouldn't win anyway. You can't win without playing the hands, blinds or no blinds.

But they take away a seat from someone who does actually want to play.

registration 4 tomorrow now open

**horja1** · 03-16-11, 05:22 PM

this thread makes sense

**ngates815** · 03-16-11, 05:23 PM

I gave up on it, I got in the first week and played every day.

But then they did just random registration times, and every time I went to register they were always full. I like the idea of 1hour before the table opens.

**beanbag** · 03-16-11, 05:31 PM

1 hour before!! Great idea..!

True, your right

**pavyracer** · 03-16-11, 05:40 PM

They can do one test run by starting registration 1 hr before tourney starts and see if it gets full. If not then do another one with 2hrs before tourney starts. It's really not rocket science.

**playersonly69** · 03-16-11, 07:29 PM

The tournies really dont have to be full anyway. It doesnt matter unless alot of NONPROS are paying points to play. Lou on average how many NONPROS play each night?

**LLXC** · 03-16-11, 07:37 PM

I think this is a good idea...I think even a couple or a few hours wouldn't hurt.

**1949** · 03-16-11, 07:39 PM

I also think it's a good idea open it closer to the start time

**yisman** · 03-16-11, 07:42 PM

I'll quote what I said in another thread as well:

You probably get about 10 no shows each tournament, which means people are hogging seats that others could've played in.

Maybe there could be something to confirm the registration just before the tourney? If you don't confirm, you're booted and people on the "waiting list" could be let in.

So if they have registration the day before, ok, but have something soon before the tournament to make sure people are actually there.

I didn't get the chance to register yesterday (checked before 9 AM Tuesday, wasn't up, got back after 9 PM, both were closed).

I've been trying all day to register for the 1 PM (until 1 of course) and then for the 9 PM.

There was one opening once, but I tried to get in and it told me it was full. Someone else beat me by seconds, I guess.

First weekday I'm missing out on the sbr freeroll.

**big joe 1212** · 03-16-11, 07:43 PM

Why not just have it unlimited entries?

**pavyracer** · 03-16-11, 07:50 PM

I know why there is a limit for entries but I won't reveal it here for obvious reasons.

But the tourney registration needs to be sooner to start time. Right now there are dozens of players who can't play and dozens of no shows. Until a penalty is enforced to no shows this will not discourage people from hogging seats and not showing up.

**ramones951** · 03-16-11, 08:21 PM

I think 2 hours would be plenty. It is pointless having spots taken up by people that arent playing when there are only 2 tournaments per day now.

Plus if you have an autofold to your left, your SB is attacked constantly.

I was thinking the same thing.

Do a 20 point entry fee that is returned if you play.

**borednaz** · 03-17-11, 05:30 PM

That is a good idea, non pro's pay a 20 pt fee anyways so why not make it refundable for pro's who show up to play.

**Killer_Demo** · 03-17-11, 05:31 PM

would like to see unlimited tournies

I like the 20 point refund idea.

Killer the one on Saturday with 250 entries which is unlimited takes 3 hrs to complete. I think 3 hrs for a weekday is too much. Maybe add another 90 players tourney and cut the prize money to pay for it.

there was one the last two Saturdays at 3 ET. I'm pretty sure they haven't listed it yet.

If you at your computer 1 hour before it starts, then certainly you will there when it starts. Maybe 2 hours is better, but this would ensure a better game. We dont necc need to have a full 90 players, what we need are 80 active players

Again, this is a very good idea ...

... in yesterday's 1 pm game I got stuck in a table with 8 INACTIVE PLAYERS

... Helloooooooooo ... SBR ... pay some attention to this thread ....

**Housemoney** · 03-18-11, 09:26 AM

I agree with Ngates, played almost everyday in Feb. I don't even open the poker client anymore. The tourneys are always full.

**playersonly69** · 03-18-11, 09:58 PM

bump

**emoney** · 03-18-11, 10:20 PM

They should not be open at all to nonpros. That is stupid that there are pros turned away while nonpros get in.

**playersonly69** · 03-18-11, 10:24 PM

Well EMONEY, non pros have to pay to play

most sites let u register 2 hrs before time ,so this way everyone has a chance to register.if u do an hour it seems like a short time to register
