Final table of the LA satellites

I apologize if this has been addressed before. I am in the satellite for entry into the tourney where the final table gets flown to LA. The tourney details read that the final 6 players in the satellite get entry into the tourney on Nov. 9. However in the prize box it only shows the 1st place person getting an entry. Anyone which way it really is?

 

I believe...

Cherub44, I believe 6 win advancement from each qualifying tournament to the finals held on November 9th. Then the over all winner of that tournament is awarded a trip to LA.

I am not positive, but I believe that is correct.

 

Well I just came in 2nd and only the first place player's name is showing up on the list for the invite tourney. I'm sending a note to CS, as the wording in the details said "The final 6 players of this event will qualify to play in the Final event to be played at 9:30pm ET on November 9th, 2006!"

 

Confusing

On Bet21 it is just the first place player that goes to the tournament, on UBT the six finalist get to advance to the tournament. It is confusing, and Bet21's wording is wrong.

 

Sure confused me!

I went into the final thinking the job was done. Checked the wording and decided it wasn't (Only 1st place listed as a prize-winner). I finished 3rd, then thought maybe I was through after all, but it's let me register for the next one, so probably not.

 

6 then 1

TX is right...For PlayUBT.com, at least.

Bet21 IS different.

PlayUBT:

Qualifying tournament...all final table players advance to the next tournament.

Once in that tournament the first place player wins their way to LA.

Bet21:

Qualifying tournament...final table winner advances to the next tournament.

Once in that tournament ???? wins their way to LA.

 

Not another screw-up I hope!

I went over to Bet21.com and checked out the LA freeroll.

On the qualifiers it states "All 6 finalist will make the November 9th finals tournament. The final 6 from that tournament will go to LA and be on TV.

Now from what Pat is saying that only the winner from each of these qualifiers will be going to the November 9th event. If you checkout the invite tournament, you'll see that indeed only the winners of the three events this morning are on it and not all 18 finalist.

If this is true and Bet21.com has the wrong information posted regarding these tournaments they should honor what they advertise and allow all the finalist to play in the November 9th event.

Out of the three events held so far I see at least 6 BJT.com members making the final table. However none of them won their table and may possiblly get screwed by Bet21.com over yet another mistake on their part.

Am sorry but on situations like this I do feel some type of regulations need to be in place to protect the players. So far I haven't seen Bet21.com honor any of their promises, nor fix any of the problems that have been brought to their attention.
The way they are starting out they don't have to worry about the new internet laws, they will run themselves out of business.

I really am wondering who run's this company? Have you seen the commercial were the monkeys are running the company, everytime I see it on TV I think of Bet21.com, except that isn't fair to the monkeys...LOL

 

Confused

Play UBT LA tournament runs 15 to 20th of Dec with 1 winner from UBT's Oct 21 qualifier going to LA.
UB/Bet21 LA tournament runs Dec 10 to 15th with the Nov9 qualifier playing to 6 players and those 6 players go to LA. The UB/Bet21 site clearly says that 6 players (final table) from today's satellites advance to Nov9 qualifier but the Nov 9th list shows only 1rst place finishers.
Confused, I sure am !!! :joker: :joker: :joker:

 

No more confusion.

The UB/Bet21 site now clearly shows that 6 players advance to the Nov 9 qualifier. Good work UB/Bet21.

 

Disregard my last post

Ok, I'm officlally confused as well.

It definitely does state two different things on Bet21!

I'm assuming whoever put the settings in the prgram was supposed to set it for the top six to advance, but didn't. At least that's my guess.

*EDIT* And, seconds after I post this, it's fixed

 

Rules for Bet21.com

If they have the wording wrong they should stand behind what they advertise.

 

Hmmm

I played through the UltimateBet skin. I haven't seen the Bet21 version, but the wording on UB is similar but not identical to what Tex posted.

Ah yes, and I now see what Ace means - the currently running tourney shows the top six places as winners, where previously it was only one.

I trust someone will be able to manually add those of us who qualified, but didn't (IYSWIM), into the Nov 9th tourney.

In which case, woohooo!

I actually entered the tourney after the one in which I made the final table too, but went out in the first round. I wonder what would have happened if I had qualified twice!

 

Everything is now fine on UB/Bet21.

Tex: please read my earlier post. Everything indicates that 6 players advance from today's satellites.

 

Exact wording for Bet21.com

Here is the exact wording on the Bet21.com freeroll's satellite's for the $100,000 in LA.

Tournament Details

Welcome to the qualifying satellite offering a chance to play in the $100,000 TV Freeroll Final Event. The final six players of this event will qualify to play in the Final event to be played at 9:30 pm ET on November 9th, 2006! The Final Event will be played down to the final table of 6 players. At this point, the tournament will be paused and the final 6 will travel to LA to play for a prizepool worth $100,000! As well as the $100,000 prizepool, the event will be filmed and shown as part of the Ultimate Blackjack Tour. The dates of filming are provisionally set between the 10th and 15th December. Registration opens one hour prior to the start of the tournament.

Now all of us, or at least most would read that as if you make the final table in this satellite event, that you'll be playing on November the 9th, correct?

Why is the November 9th invite list only showing the 3 winners instead of the 18 finalist? Are these satellites not an event, because it is clearly printed that the final 6 players ALL will play on November 9th for the $100,000 LA trip from THIS EVENT!

Bet21.com isn't owned by ex-Enron management are they? What is there back ground? Possible Savings and Loans or did they sell Ocean front property in Arizona? I'm I getting close?

Enough already, we are all willing to play at your site. All we ask is that to say what you mean and do what you say.

I understand the FREEROLL are just that FREE, but it would be nice if we knew what the rules were before we played. It would have been so simple just to print out that ONLY the winner of these satellites would be allowed to play on November 9th.

Bet21.com do the right thing and allow all the finalist who have already played to play on November 9th.

 

Fingers Crossed

Presumably because the system was initially misconfigured. Like I said, I'm hopeful that this will be put right retrospectively, and I will certainly feel very aggrieved if it isn't; but I can imagine it might take a day or two to get sorted out. An email from them would be nice though, to let us know what is happening.

I don't see any list at all on UltimateBet; the 9th Nov tournament hasn't yet appeared on the schedule. Does Bet21's schedule look further into the future, or am I missing something?

I just received the following email in response to my email to them this morning after I made the final table. As I had hoped, everything is fine and we (ie.ptaylor and colin) should all be qualified for the Nov. 9 tourney!

Good News

That is good news gflan as both my sister (mammab1) and mother (azbobcat) both made the final 6 today in 2 of the tourneys they held today. It looks like they cancelled the rest of the LA $100,000 tourneys they had scheduled for this afternoon after they discovered the error of their ways. Bummer for me.

 

Well done Bet21.com

Thank you Bet21.com for doing the right thing and allowing ALL the finalist from the $100,000 LA qualifiers to get to play on November 9th.

Not sure what happened or why, but your quick response and correction of the problem is what the players want to see and helps to reinsure them that the players are priority one. Your quick fix much appreciated.

As long as Bet21.com keeps correcting any and all problems in this fashion all of us here will support you site.

Also thumbs up for blocking the chat that eliminates any coaching and distractions from outside viewers.

I wish you the best, but I'll still jump your butt when something is done wrong.

Now just get the sign-up bonuses (for blackjack) and tournament bucks corrected and we’ll be cooking.

 

All is well

I don't know if UB/Bet21 have entirely separate departments to deal with this stuff, or if they pass it all on to a third party. At any rate, I hadn't contacted anyone myself, but just got this emal from UB -
