PPP and Irish Open GF

TangledUpinBlue

I have qualified for Irish Open GF next Sunday on PPP, having conveniently forgotten that I promised my 10 year old son to bring him to WWW in the Point. The manager chat on the site has told me that I cannot defer the entry to the following week. Is that normal practice or is there any way around the problem. I know some PPP heads contribute to this forum so all help & advice appreciated.

I made the same request last week but to no avail.

That would not be clever...

PPP,
Why don't you allow players to defer entry when they win these satellites?
It definitely puts me off playing the qualifiers, as I don't know whether I'll be available to play the finals when the time comes.
Some sort of simple Token system would be better, allowing one to pick which final to play.
It wouldnt cost PPP/Tribeca anything (other than whatever it would cost to throw a few extra lines of code into the background COBOL program).

AJ

it wouldn't be legal, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be clever!

On every poker site feeder - it has the time and date of the event it feeds to. If you are not available to play the final event dont play the feeder - simple! You are taking away other players chances in the feeder for that weeks tournament just because the pre determined final event time does not suit. :rolleyes:

I think the problem is that feeders might be on three weeks before the GF, and people don't know what they'll be doing at 8pm on sun the 23rd

GF is weekly on Sunday evening for all feeders that week

Also why bother playing the feeder then? Feeders are there for reasons - to allow players to get in cheaply to bigger tournaments. If they have no interest in that ... Id say dont play a feeder

Or play on a site like Stars where you can just unregister, Ive won sats and forgotten completely about them whereas on stars I unreg and use them when I like

Thanks for the feedback. I am working hard on rewriting the source code!! lol!!

I will be picking this up with PPP directly, but seriously what is the big deal about either transferring to another GF the following Sunday or alternatively transferring the seat to somebody else at a price. What arguments will PPP make beyond the usual T&Cs claptrap? Nobody will be at a loss and if any individual does not qualify on any particular night there are 14 feeders a week to the GF so there is plenty of opportunity. I thought PPP were meant to be the punters friend

What if something comes up. They should do it like stars does.
