Gotta admit, I feel a bit cheated for your decision not to keep your word. You are post-poning it so more people would submit to the raffle, and I understand that, but the truth is that the people that submitted earlier would have deserved the decision now, not when there are 2x amount the contesters.
100% agree

where is the info that it was postponed for a week?
|
Well... Can someone from pokerstrategy or teamliquid confirm that we don't have to be online for TLAttack to win? because I cannot be there and I feel as others a little bit snubbed that it was moved at the last second. Not to mention it's a little unfortunate there will be more contestants but if there are so few I guess I see their reasoning.
ALso... I used the help thing on pokerstrategy.com and received no confirmation can I confirm that my user name Saddening on pokerstrategy is indeed eligible?

/signed, going to be super busy next week.
at least let the winners win without being online cause i barely made this for the draw.

To me this decision to post-pone the drawing is crap in several ways. To start with, those of us registering in time will now have lots of more participants to compete with. I can't be online for the TL Attack and actually took time to be able to watch the drawing tonight. (yes, the games were epic, but still). I really feel cheated and in a way I feel that despite the obvious reason, lack of participants, this makes TL look kind of bad and nonprofessional... It's unfortunate on so many levels...

I love you but this is a tad frustrating!
i call bullshit on this. there is no way someone will take work off solely for a RAFFLE. do you also take days off work for lottery drawings too? just for that chance to see it live? jesus christ.
postponing it is unfortunate but why the hell is there all this QQ? it's their contest, they gave you notice, just be happy it's happening. you are not ENTITLED to anything.

To be fair, letting more people take part in the raffle just encourages more prize events in the future, so I don't really have a problem with it. It's extremely unlikely you'll have to watch live next week to win anyway.
Besides, the matches tonight were suspenseful enough already without the raffle adding to it.

Sorry, we didn't take into account that it can take up to a couple days between finishing the quiz and actually getting the $50 and entry into the raffle (due to ID checks and such), so it wouldn't be fair that people who entered on Friday or Saturday might not actually be in the raffle.
We also want to give at least a couple days' notice after announcing the deadline. So the deadline is Wednesday at midnight EDT, and the drawing will be during TL Attack.

The winner will be contacted either via their PokerStrategy.com account, TL account or email. You don't need to watch live, but it'll be more exciting if you do. :p

ah, good to know  thanks for the clarification that we dont have to actually see it live, even though its fun to
|
Cool indeed, as long as we don't have to see it live it's quite okay! The chances of winning are so minimal anyway! And the more participants the more money I suppose pokerstrategy somehow gets. Which is good for SC and e-sports!
Thanks for clarifying that!

I was originally intended to pen a response to news of the deadline being extended in a somewhat disappointed tone, as the more proactive entrants would now be punished with a smaller probability of winning. I had (incorrectly) assumed that it was extended to help draw viewership to Episode 1 of the new TL Attack and to hopefully show higher numbers to PokerStrategy for the increased likelihood of them showing more support towards future TL events.
Thankfully, I opted to step away and clean my kitchen while I let the adrenaline from the finals subside and thus I came back to see your post. The explanation is greatly appreciated, and indeed extending the deadline long enough for those who entered the raffle this weekend to be confirmed seems like the most fair choice.
Thanks again for the clarification, and thank you for the existence of the raffle in the first place!

haha i was a little bit upset since I don't think I'll be able to watch TL:A, so I thought I had 0 chance of winning then. Good thing we don't have to be online for a chance ^^ but TSL finals were amazing so I'm really happy I caught them no matter what.
Still kicking myself that I didn't sign up the first time, i bet the odds are hell of a lot worse than 1 / 90 now >.<
Best of luck to all!

I was under the impression that we needed to watch live incase we won - but it isn't the case at all so now i'm just glad i was able to watch an epic grand finals live.
Anyway - I DID actually take time off work for the TSL finals but like i said also specifically to be there if I needed to be contacted (as it says in the thread that you need to watch the grand finals).
Glad i pissed you off enough to post though
Cheers
:edit: I'm glad I don't need to watch TL:A Live thank you mods for clearing that up.

Imma gonna win.
Sorry but I actually have it on good authority that I will be the winner >.
A bit disappointed with the delayed deadline but I do understand the reasoning behind it. I finished my ID check on Saturday and was a bit nervous whether it would finish in time or not.
In the meantime I've been playing a bit on PartyPoker and lost $4 so far :D.

Interesting, because it took less than 8 hours to register, do the quiz and get the credit onto the account for me.

For me it took a day. I did it on Saturday morning.
