Soo.. lotta information here, but you don't really have a time. You have Saturday, unless I'm reading this info wrong, but no hour.. So when exactly is this?
|
This particular tournament starts at 230PST
But they may alternate to allow users from different time zones the chance to participate.
Thanks for pointing that out.

If we already have an FTP account affiliated to another site and are ineligible for the cash prize for the qualifers, are we still eligible to go on to the 16-man tournament, and receive the cash prizes for the first three places?
|
@Ketara- 230 PM west coast, 530 PM east coast. (US)
@Dysk- Not at this time. It's basically just a practice tourney for players with accounts already setup. I'm working on getting other affiliate accounts setup @ different sites to help with people already playing at FTP. In the future, players affiliated with other sites will be eligible, but not at the moment.
|
@Dysk- The website and all the prizes are funded by me from my earnings on FTP. So, you have to understand that I can't transfer funds on any other sites at the moment because I don't play @ them. 
|
Is this tournament going to be streamed?
|
It's streamed on TheRushNetwork.com
|
why is ther eno brackets> and no time?>
|
I'm sorry? There are brackets. The time is in the tournament rules with all the other info.
|
TheRushNetwork will eb streaming our events!

SCAM TOUR
I had a huge debate with the tour host about how they pay the players and what not. I told him it was a scam since he was using the rakeback shit from fulltilt to pay us. making us sign up for fulltilt through their code so they continue to make money later on when we use our account, etc..
so I obviously pissed him off cause he blocked me. I dont really think this is needed since he still needs to pay me, which he didn't do.
so whats up dittie, where's my money !
oh btw I did signup with his code . and gave him the account info. still no $$
|
I'd appreciate it if you grew up.
In the RULES, which you failed to read, it answers all your questions. RuFF plays in the tournaments regularly, and he got his money, as well as all the other qualifiers, all of whom read the rules and didn't violate the terms. If you feel cheated, then take it up with your 4th grade reading teacher. Not only did you violate the rules for our tournament, you violated FT's. Asking me to do so, out of a favor to someone as rude as you would only jeopardize our sponsorships with FT. By signing players up under our affiliates program, it is by THEIR choice whether they play or not. If they do play, they generate rake which leads to larger prize pools other sweet things. Every tourney out there has sponsors.
I'm glad to inform you that you won't be receiving the money, because of this. The prize you didn't receive was added into a bonus pool which was awarded to the winner of the BO5 series between Destiny and Ruff. $25.
I personally am the one generating the cash to pay out all the money in these tournaments. I do so through my poker winnings. I've already stated IN THIS THREAD that at this time players with FT accounts aren't eligible. It just isn't in the best interest of the website. We need help from sponsors to expand. $40 qualifiers are great, but our mission is $1000-$10,000. Something which only people like you are stopping us from accomplishing. Troll more.
|
this is sad. whats with all these tours host scamming people
|
When there are rules like that you really need to make it blindingly obvious that these rules are in effect. Your OP is very sparse and I saw a previous thread about these tourneys closed for being too light on information.
I think if you are serious about these tourneys you should use this feedback to improve your tournament system and really let people know what they are signing up for.
|
Nice you called me a troll and told me to grow up.
so anyways all that jazz you were just typing out means nothing . I am SUPPOSED to be paid. I followed all the rules, signed up with your shitty referral code which is a total scam and I haven't gotten paid.
you keep saying rules this and rules that. but lets keep it real. you are pissed that i called your shitty rakeback fulltilt shit a scam so your not paying out and spewing out random shit like an ESL admin.
|
The post was removed because I failed to fill out the basic requirements.
Look, I could create 20 pages of bold instructions the size of this entire page. You still aren't going to read it. Everything is in the rules.. The map pool, the check in time, the start time. I still have 100 questions about everything. People who aren't 18 sign up and know they can't receive the prize. So you can try and suggest a better format, but I provide concise instructions just as every hosting site out there does. We cant make you read. I guide you to the rules, I sticky a post, I create a page dedicated to it, I say to check to see if you're eligible.
All I'm saying is to quit crying. If you truly deserve what you assert, hire a lawyer. Because, you didn't read the rules, you didn't follow the rules, therefore you aren't eligible. It's that simple.
Look up in this thread where Dysk, someone with a high intelligence asks: If we already have an FTP account affiliated to another site and are ineligible for the cash prize for the qualifers, are we still eligible to go on to the 16-man tournament, and receive the cash prizes for the first three places?
Where I answer:
@Dysk- Not at this time. It's basically just a practice tourney for players with accounts already setup. I'm working on getting other affiliate accounts setup @ different sites to help with people already playing at FTP. In the future, players affiliated with other sites will be eligible, but not at the moment.
Frankly, you have no case. I'm not wasting anymore time arguing with you. There are people that do things correctly that should be rewarded and people who cry about not getting what they deserve. I can give you some cheese for that whine.

well seeing as I dont have a FT poker account until this tournament I dont see what other rules I broke.. so please point it out to me.
|
If "we can't make you read it so we won't try" is your response to what was intended as constructive criticism then I wish you good luck in your future tournaments.
|
just because I am completely against your pyramid scam with that rollback shit doesn't mean I shouldn't get paid. this tournament needs to be taken off TeamLiquid.

Please, tell me your not serious. I didn't take it as constructive crticism. I took it as a guy that was being suckered in by lies. I pointed out to you that I've setup the system you pointed out should be in place. I don't think we were on the same page. Don't reword what I wrote to sound negative. I took what you had already written and translated it as a negative statement. If it wasn't meant to be so, you shouldn't retaliate with negativity. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Just know that I have the advice you gave already in place and this guy is an idiot.
Realistic. Now you're lying. You said that you're a poker player and you already have an account at pokerstars and at full tilt, since you already had an account setup and you told me to just send it to that one. Then I explained the rules to you, and how we raise money through our sponsors. Now your telling complete Lies.
1. I already reported you to Full tilt for violating their multiple accounts policy.
2. Violating a rule to cut you slack is something I refuse to do.
3. I offered to pay you the $10, despite your lack of reading skills, but you continued insulting me telling me how much I was screwing you
4. I'd love for you to explain to the audience how this is a 'pyramid' scheme? First of all, a scheme would require a person to invest THEIR OWN MONEY.
5. I currently fund these tournaments through $230 of my own dollars each month. I earn $0 revenue from the website for the actual SIGNING of affiliates. The only time I earn money is if people CHOOSE to play poker and CONTINUE to do so. But again, it is their CHOICE.
6. It is no different from you coming to a site and watching commercials, except I truly believe gamers have the skillsets already in place to become successful poker players. Something I preach, and I give coaching to people while fronting 100% of the money.
Last. You're not going to receive the prize because you were i-n-e-l-i-g-i-b-l-e. Have a nice life.
BTW: There is also the Rule that you must be 18+.

Although you have a right to be upset, this is not really a pyramid scam at all.

Wow, I do appreciate that Zyori. Thanks for checking up!  I could use your programming skills...

See you guys in the monthly tournament.
|
I'd come to this but the other week i made an account and got $50 for free anyway
|
Jan 2nd is an $80 qualifier. Go register or just check-in 1 hour prior to the start in that chat room on the site.
|
hmmm
things seem settled now.. Gd
|
cant find chat room so cant check in
|
where do u checkin for this? irc chat is empty
|
in the tournament tracker it says this tournament is set for January 2nd. So i guess there was a mix up :o
|
Sorry guys... The tournament is today because I am in another state and set it up that way. Normally its supposed to be on Saturdays @ 2:30 pm PST. However, because I'm in another state visiting family I had to set it up on a Sunday and at a different time. No biggie, the confusion will most likely mean less people. So, better chances of getting paid out.
The tournament will start today at 5:30 PM PST. So, check in the chat between 4:30 and 5:30 to get signed up. See you all there!
|
The upcoming events time was screwed up and I didn't get online in time to notify them and get it fixed.
|
