In Response to Re: World Cup Kick-Off Freeroll - Rescheduling Information : this was only a suggestion because of what sky dan wrote, i absalutely agree the one`s left in should have there own freeroll, i don`t agree with the way you wrote the reply i am not the one who iis trying fix with what went wrong, i take offense IF THE REPLY was directed at what i wrote ? Posted by spornybol
of course it wasnt directed at you .unless u think u are a moron??
I don't know, probably not that high. But I was just illustrating the point that the OP post said it was due to people having connection problems over an extended period of time but every single reply has been talking about when it actually crashed. Posted by BelovedLtd
Absolute rubbish!, nearly all the players i encountered during the tournament were present and playing, there was a very small amount of players that were away, just people who had registered and forgot or couldnt make it, probably less away players than i usually encounter during other free rolls. I think that fact that we havent got a load of players on here ranting and raving about why they couldnt connect to the tournament only confirms my point.

Sounds spot on mate, i dont see why people who made it down to the last few should have to battle through another 1000 people all over again, its simply not fair.
Well it was the Sky representative who said it was down to connection problems.
But obviously one person playing the tournament would have a much better overview of the whole situation than the site itself so I defer to your greater knowledge.

Do you not think it a bit strange that if people had all these connection problems that no-one has come on here to whinge about it?
Were you even involved in the tournament? no? then i dont see what its got to do with you anyway

no prob but the wife keeps callin me a moron so i get used it lol, gl in the games u play,
I had connection problems from the very start of this tournament, screen freezing, bets timing out and sometimes total loss of connection. I still managed to be in there at the end as did almost 200 others, so to allow the the 2000 original entrants back into this tournament is complete nonsense.
Only the players that were still in at the time of the crash should be allowed entry into the rescheduled game. Is it impossible for Skypoker to restart the game at the same blind level, and, give everyone the amount of chips they had at the time ?
If the game cannot be restarted where it finshed then a new tourney should be played but only with the players that were still in. Anything other than this is a gross injustice to the 200 or so who were still playing at the time of the problem.
Another way would be for Skypoker to put the remaining names into a raffle and just draw 32 out.

I agreee with just the 194 people left in to play another freeroll as we all battled to stay in.. It doesnt make sense to allow the people in who got knocked out as then they are getting a second chance.. Most people including myself starting having probs 10 mins before the site froze hence why i lost nearlly half my stack through it putting me away.. So sky can we have a mtt for the 194 ppl that was left please..
i had no promblem,s made it to the five min break, i had been moved around the tables 4 times.tourny restarted carried on playing then my table froze i had 18,950 chips left and was still in the top 100. then sky told me torny ended and i finished in 65th place
i was in 36th place at the time game is now set for sunday....i am not able to play on sunday so i think its just a big joke really is unfair to start it again with all runners thanks for nothin skyjoker time to move on soon i think.....i think others will to

Well i couldn't get connected for 10 minutes and when i did, their was only 1 player present, merrily scooping all the chips, after 20 minutes, i was logged out again. It was a free roll so i wasn't bothered because it cost me nothing, that's why maybe loads of players are not on here ranting and raving about it. Sky put the freeroll on as a gesture, they didnt have to, nobody is out of pocket, people really need to take a chill pill, get over it and accept the sky decisions on this matter, which i think is perfectly reasonable. People are lucky im not in charge, as i would just tell ya all tough luck, get over it.
I was in 4th place when site crashed not a good way to treat players what about the time wasted playing.Give those left in their own tournny,if sky carry on like this many people will leave. COME ON SKY SETTLE THIS THE RIGHT WAY BE FAIR TO THOSE LEFT IN WHEN CRASH OCCURED.!!!!!

i had problems all night with tables freezing and getting sat out,playing 2 or 3 hands then getting sat out again,in the end i just kept going all in when i could actually play a hand. i then went to my local casino and have just found out the site crashed....and im back in the freeroll i think this is a fair way to resolve this.
i had money on the grand national when it was abandoned and my horse was 3rd after a round of the course but i didnt get paid out,lol
In Response to Re: World Cup Kick-Off Freeroll - Rescheduling Information : this is absoloute buullshitt.how can the people who were knocked out be back in!!the freeroll should be for those who were left in only.what happens if england get knocked out of the world cup do they start the tournament again???SORT IT OUT YOU BUNCH OF MORONS:((((((((((((((((( Posted by kb245
A more accurate analogy would, what happens if England get knocked out of the World Cup because when they get to the stadium none of their players were allowed into the stadium - that would be what the people who couldn't connect at all had
Or if England get knocked out the World Cup because they weren't allowed to play any defenders or a goal keeper - that would be like how the people who could only intermittently connect had to play
To reiterate - the players still in when it crashed may have wasted a lot of their time but they didn't beat over a 1000 players they beat a few 100 (a lot of them by just picking up the stacks of whole tables full of sit outs)
And when it did crash nobody was in a good enough position to definitely cash - there were too many people left and the tournament was too fast a structure
Ha Ha ha!!! all the players whining about spending sooooo much time playing on this and not winning, loooool get a grip it was a freeroll, you didnt have to enter, you enter these cos its free, if you dont win by what ever means get over it!! its free, yeh get a complaint in if you were in a paying tourney looool, but this one, it was free!!!! what a joke you all are - its sky's ball and they can keep it if they want!!!
Aren't people mixing up the tournament crashing with people having connection problems? People were having intermittent or no connection for a long time before it crashed. The 194 still in didn't really 'battle their way through' nearly 2000 players if 1500 of them couldn't play. Posted by BelovedLtd
