How many did it need? Think it was just unlucky with the timing. I know tonight's game was meaningless, but its still the World Cup.
It needed 61, and was paying 60 places with tickets from $5.50 upto $530 in value. It had 40 registered at the time it went live.
World Cup, WSOP and the fact that Iron couldn't see the tournament suggests that it might not have been visible to all might all have been factors.
Iron - is there any chance that your inability to see it was related to the MYPPL$ thing, as this requires a separate signup (but I assume that you'd have been signed up for this anyway)? Since this was set up it feels like we have two separate registrations within Party these days and I'm not entirely certain how the two interact with each other, albeit this is from someone who plays fairly infrequently at the moment.
