    SBR Poker: All Tournaments Postponed until Nov 1

    As many know, the SBR Network has been DDoS attacked (attacker overflows the network with connections so real users can not access attacked website) as of late. We have taken steps to assure the network is always available. Our team has done a great job with the websites.

    However, the poker application works differently and the typical DDOS tools cause people to be disconnected. Users may tolerate it for ring games but it can be pretty bad if a chip leader on a final table is disconnected especially more than once.

    We will be working on the software to make it compatible with the tools we need to use. We will resume all current tourneys after Nov 1st and have a relaunch tourney once the new software is tested. All tourney contestants will be contacted.

    Thank you all for patience. We will do our best to give you a better SBR poker!

    Nov. wow

    My question is: I have a number of rollovers that I've been putting off and some of them might expire before SBR poker comes back, is there a way to reset those rollovers?

    You can try to tough it out in the ring games. Forum going to be dead as a hammer though

    Any truth to the rumor that John and Lou are behind the DDoS attacks because too many points were being handed out?

    Think all rollover points be credited to points balances

    Are you able to see ring game tables? I'm using WINE and they're not up right now.

    as dane said and i agreed , this is for the best. sucks no poker tourneys but let SBR work out the problems and then resume this poker contest. it aint fair that certain people can be connected and others cant. some of you freaks could use time out in the sun.

    Bonus balances expire in a rolling 180-day period from the date they were last played.

    Ring games remain open.

    Folks might be confusing the removal of the Tourney tab.

    By default there is only one tab. You are already locked onto the ring games without needing to navigate anywhere but the tables.

    there are no tables displaying. It's been like this for at least an hour.

    The tournament tab is of course gone but he's talking about no ring games available.

    It's possible you might have just left your lobby open during the time the switch was made. Reboot the client and you should be fine. We've had people playing ring games.

    also, can you change it to 5 all in disconnects during this phase instead of 2?

    not sure how hard that would be
