It maybe worth having two sorts of tourneys.
One set just for the forum member with passes and another for those who come on via affiliate links to keep the forum alive. It will be stressed which is which though.

I definitely think that is a good idea - as has been said the main problem with this one was the fact that it wasn't made clear that it wasn't a forum only affair  |

I didn't so much mind whatever the prizes were for the freeroll, i was just really pissed when I heard non-blondies where in it and actually won!
Forum users only tournys would be nice.

forum only tournys happen once or twice a month and are promoted as that but as this is the blondepoker.com forum they have every right to promote tournys on here aswell and those tourny would be open to everyone they should just be clearly marked |

Having cashed in about 2th i would be tempted to say good for blondepoker...i would caviate that and say however i would prefer comps to be blonde only and everybody to be crystal clear on the set up. I wasnt suprised by the lenghty back and forward on the titna tourney.
half the fun of a blonde comp is that you know the folks playing and can have a chat or a moan in good spirits. that was lacking somewhat as there were obviously folk we didnt know and who werent blonde
most of the points made i agree with and especially the possibility of 2 different comps clearly labelled
happy sunday folks

I'm totally against rebuys for 8 levels, thats nearly 3 hours!!!
I'm assuming this was solely for the Titan tourney. I have enjoyed every other Blonde tourney far more.

Jeez guys, give us a break. How unlucky could we get. At least a 100 of the entries were genuine blondites and none of us were good enough to win it.
My thanks for the support of all the early posters such as ifm and henryk.
This website (including forum) is still less than a year old. We are not professional businessmen. We are not profession web designers. We are going to struggle and we are going to make mistakes. BUT I'll promise you one thing. We will learn from our mistakes and rarely make them a second time. We will also rectify any wrongs.
Everyone who finished in the money, should now have been paid in full
1. a % of the first $5,000
2. a % of the rebuys which was just over $2,000
3. a % of the extra $5,000 for having more than a 100 players
This was achieved at the cost of a lot of hassle & aggrevation to Tony G. he came up with the deal in the first place, and he has now battled to ensure that we have come thru with what we promised. Yet he has received no thanks just a shedload of abuse.
If anyone believes that they have not been paid in full, please drop me a PM and I'll get it sorted.
For future events
a) i don't really understand the difference between a forum tourney and a blonde tourney
b) we will try our damndest to ensure that ONLY blondites can enter. Hopefully via a password system or something.
c) we will try and schedule the tourneys for a 730 pm start on a monday evening

A) a blonde tourny is a tourny anyone can enter if they enter it thru a banner on the homepage a forum only tourny is a tourny that only forum members can enter via a password
B) see above i think there is room for both
C) thats would be stupid but 10pm with nearly 3 hours of rebuys is equally stupid

I loved the 10pm start. I didn't like the length of the rebuy period. 10pm start, 1 hour or no rebuy = perfection 4 me  I think cos the original thread got so long people were missing things. Thus people complaining about stuff that had already been explained. |
