Hi,

I'm the Poker manager at Virgin so if both of you want to e-mail me at joe@virgingames.com i'll look in to both cases and ensure that 1) any money lost in the system is refunded to you and 2) we get a full explanation in to what has happened.

I'm aware of the 'you've been siting out 10 hands' error message appearing incorrectly (this is a Boss issue, not just Virgin) but have never heard of money getting lost in the system as a result of it.

I'll keep this thread updated as i speak with Boss.

All the best,
Joe

Nice added value. Is the Virgin festival seat for the whole team or just the top player? And is it for July and August? Or August and September?

Virgin Festival seat just for the winner of that round.

These seats are just available to winners of rounds 1 + 2 for August's comp.

No cash equivalent but we'd let you sell/transfer your seat to another blondite.

boo - just typed a long message and it got lost

In summary - I like the idea in theory, but I'm not keen on the points scoring system, which, IMO, too heavily penalises those who are unable to play some of the games for whatever reason.  I would favour a top heavy scoring system (such as the one used in the blonde league), with zero points being awarded to players who are unable to take part.

With the system as it stands, there is potential for teams whose players do very in a number of event to lose simply because they couldn't commit to as many games as some other teams.

With it being a team event I, personally, (even though I would love to) don't think I could take part as things stand, as I know I will be away on some of the dates and unable to make a couple of others - I would not wish to ruin my team's chances.  A points system along the lines I have suggested would, in my opinion, encourage greater participation, which must be a good thing?

Oh, and Andrew and Kin - GFY

Hi guys,

I manage the Virgin poker room and helped put this promo togeter. It's certain that your combined poker knowledge outweighs ours so we'll try and take on board all the comments about the structure and format and where possible tweak the promo for future months to make it as player friendly as possible.

Therefore please continiue to offer your suggestions and we'll see what we can do.

I've just had a nice woman calling me from Tikay's phone saying that an 'old man' had left this phone on the train at St Pancreas train station and that she was going to hand it in to the Lost Property office there.

So if anyone bumps in to him today can you let him know where his phone is!!
