Grand Final Questions ITT

[trishan]

Based also on the fact that we make no money off Satellites, fund approx 25% of the prize pools ourselves through other qualification route, continue to run additional events for players to gain seats for great value and then spend almost $30,000 on producing the whole weekend I would say it is quite fair for us to dictate the terms on Grand Final and League participation.

You could have said this from the start! Seeing as you put an additional $30K into the event, courtesy of the business, then yes, I can see how the requirement is justified. I will have no problems playing 10 games before the end of August and given the above I think it's only fair.

Ticket is transferred to next Grand Final.

How come you can opt out of playing the GF but not the monthly online quaulifier?

Stuff comes up and you can't play things you sat into sometimes. You should be able to transfer to the next months qualifier, just like you can transfer a GF ticket to the next GF.

That needs to be taken up with 888 then. This is something I don't have any control over when it comes to online feeders.

Can you unregister from the MQF and receive the funds?

If u buy in u can, if win sat u can't.
Big difference between $5 sat entry & $500 GF ticket,

Yeah I satellited in, but accidentally unregistered. Thought I was unregistering from a different tournament.

Very big brain fade moment!!

Oh , i didn't understand the "hint" as an out ... i took it as "there is the rules" ! !

My mistake , something to do with me only seeing black or white (no grey areas)

Please note the concerns i have raised have been mine , i am sure Nisha will be sending her concerns through the appropriate channels .

Thank you ..

I think im in trouble unless i attend way more away games. I mainly play online because bendigo has less venues that work with my schedule. I work in shepparton from) friday arvo to sunday night every week and i cannot leave work (to find a game in sheppartonas it is a stay-in job. I have been to the windermere hotel once when my boss let me drive home early. I really want to go to this grand final because i have already taken work off and organised accomodation for myself and my brother (he got me other ticket). The bridge hotel used to be on a monday which was suitable but now it doesnt exist. Every other 'bendigo region' venue is either in maryborough or heathcote. Looking at the website today i have noticed that the shamrock is having poker on a monday which is easy for myself to attend. Can you please check my qualification garth? I asked the local TC about the qualification and he said i should be fine. Now im not so certain?

I have always understood the 10 Away games had to be played within the actual season in question to qualify for the GF.

I had only played 9 Away games last season and played my 10th game at another venue on the last day of the season to meet what I thought were the correct requirements.

So, am I right in saying that playing a minimum of 10 Away games in the 13 week season is not a requirement to qualify for a GF but it is for the state/semi final?

Am I right in saying that a punter can either win, buy or be given a GF ticket and still qualify the August GF provided they get their 10 Away games in before the August GF .... YES??
