Good choice.

This isn't set up on P* yet, right? I can't seem to find it.

[jojobinks]

yeah! wtf? it was up earlier...

[vrecksler]

I could not find it, am I looking in the right section? Should be just under the CT tourney except a half hour later start time?

[DrBullMoose]

I can't find it either!

[jojobinks]

recreated. all the info is the same as in the OP, only the start time was pushed back to 22:10 est (had to be an hour from creation).

jump in, my pretties.

[vrecksler]

Nice work Jojo!

I really shouldn't since I have my first final exam tomorrow but damn, I just cannot resist.

Hi All,

Sorry for the problems with the Side Tourney tonight. It was not my fault, it was PokerStars. I created the tournament, and even registered to make sure everything was good. I then unregistered because I was unable to play tonight. I just received this email from PokerStars support:

We have noticed the creation of one private tournament which contained the password in the lobby, "Password is the same as the main tourney". Please note the following rules informed to you when you adquire this privilege.
Please keep all of the fields free of profanity or inappropriate references. PokerStars reserves the right to remove any event deployed with inappropriate references. Abuse of the feature by deploying inappropriate material may result in the loss of this privilege.
PokerStars provides the ability to create private events as a courtesy for our frequent players. These events are not intended to be "open"
events, nor to drive traffic from PokerStars to an outside web site.
As such, a tournament title or tournament "lobby message" cannot contain a URL or an Email address (such as a location where the password can openly be found).
Note next time we will have to revoke your privilege of creating private tournaments.
Thank you for your understanding. Please remember we are here to help.

Here is my reply:

Christian,
I'm not happy that the tournament was cancelled. I do not see where I broke ANY rules. The tournament Lobby said "Password is the same as the main tourney". That statement in no way says what the actual password is, or where the password can be found. Please explain to me what rule was broken.
Thanks,
Chuck

I will post the reply from PokerStars when/if I get one.

PokerStars reply, or lack there of...

At this moment this cancellation cannot be reversed. Please make sure that you follow the guidelines when you place the information on the tournament lobby.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further assistance.
Regards,
Gabriel

Thanks again and sorry for any problems.

That does seem a bit lame Chuck, be interested to see their response.

And Matt, since I went 3 for 3 against the Hammers in this HU tournament, do I get any piece of the Hammer bounty?
