reg'd for the 30k super roller direct i was the first player to do so.
as the clock ticks down i am still the only player. clock goes to zero and the tournament is cancelled.
i get my money back even though it said one seat guarenteed.
shouldnt i have got the seat in the roller because it states one seat is guarenteed.
i have been in satelites before where there are only two of us and either i knock him out or he knocks me out and awarded a seat. so there can not be an issue with meeting the £110

    I believe sats for the tournaments need 3 players minimum to start - otherwise they're cancelled

    there is one seat guarenteed but there needs to be more than you enter, they arnt just going to give u a seat for doing nothing.

    please dont take this as a gripe or one of the i hate sky brigade because i love playing on this site, but dont say one seat guarenteed if a seat is not guarenteed without mention of there needing atleast 3 players to register.anybody knows of where it states this?
    maybe im in a bad mood for busting out of the ukpc and then regging the main and main and flopping a full house and the other guy rivers a bigger full and then had hits a 3 outer on the river in the mini
    some days hey

    yes its not my fault.
     you are not getting the min point of my question! dont put in big bold letters ONE SEAT GUARENTEED if there isnt a seat guarenteed.
    like when playing the £50 rebuy at dtd wednesday night there were 20 seats guarenteed, and in the small print of the tournament structure there is a qoute "10 playerss need to register or the tournament is cancelled, there is nothing of this nature when you regster for a satellite on this site.

    there is "ONE GUARANTEED SEAT" if the tournament acutally runs. it didnt run though becuase only you entered, cant be to hard to understand surely.

    seriously biting my tongue here!

    did you not see that i mentioned the small print, there is nothing to say that more than 1 player needs to be registered

    cant be hard to understand surely

    Rock your speaking to a wall obviously he doesnt get it lol

    Anyone with common sense would know that you need 2 players+ to start a tourney.

    this is the reason why i dont post on this forum. has anybody actually given me any clarification whether or not i was the only person that entered the tournie is besides the fact.  it doesnt say anymore than 1 player needs to register and there is one seat guarenteed.
    you just want to either constantly give people the rub down and build your egos, i dont find anything i have said to have deserved any of your c rap.
    i read quite a bit on the forum and some of the posters i find informative and respectful but i find that the pair of you never really have anything constructive to say. just criticise for the sake of it, then as soon as one of the more respected forum members berate you, you just quickly reply with a backtracking comment.
     you must live very sheltered lifestyles. feel sorry for you both that you feel the need to do this on a regular basis, bullied as a child maybe?

    You said yourself that you was the only person registered for the mtt, its not hard to understand that you need at least 1 more player to play for the seat then this is where overlay comes in.

    You cant expect sky to just give you the seat because your the only player in the tourney thats just daft to think such a thing dont think sky really need to point this out think its jsut where common sense comes in.

    And yes some of my posts are pretty humerous at times because when you have ppl post "its fixed" but yea still play on the site or ask silly questions to the point where you come across as not bein serious but actually are then yea so be it.

    Go play cash on your own heads up and tell me how much you winthen come back to me.

    no regs have ever berated me on here  for a start, i try to help anybody if i can, ive told you the reason why you dont win the seat, all you wanna do is argue, ur correct it doesnt say there needs to be more than 1 player entering for the seat to be guarenteed becuase quite frankly anybody with any common sence would realise that a tournament is not going to run without having at least 2 players in it hence the reason why u were refunded and the tournament was cancelled.

    please state where i have tried to argue, we could start the old panto "oh no i didnt" back and forth all night, i got better things to do like reg for sats and get my money back,
    im going to have to take it to cc tomorrow, i just wnderedd wether somebody else had come across this before troubling them with it.
    maybe im going to have to moan about connection issues to get on your side in future.
    much love and sweet dreams

    I do understand your point Booboo.

    TheRock is right though, I'm afraid. There will never be a situation where you are just given the seat.
    I do think that there should be better wording in place from Sky. Realistically, Sky would not be in business long if they, for example gave away a £110 seat for £10 on a regular basis.

    By all means, ring CC. Unfortuanately to be honest with you, I don't think you will get an answer that you like.

    I'm fairly sure these sats do have the wording (minimum of 3 runners)
