If there's no tournament are you for some casual tournament with 1mbtc buy in, like in the beginning? Nothing special, maybe Efi or Ty can organize that with SwC? I would play, that can be like warming up for upcoming series?
I would hold off on trying to throw something together quickly just because of this So sorry to disappoint but start is going to be next Sunday :/
If there is no tournament though we could all meet up in one of the other tournaments they run, or hop onto some cash tables at 1/2 or 5/10. It just makes me thinkn everythign is in the works and that maybe SWC forgot to add it to the schedule or efialtis forgot to confirm. I'm hoping it pops up today or tomorrow. I also don't want to possibly cause some miscommunication with SWC in regards to the series. I did have a thought though on trying to increase traffic, at least in trying to bring over some of their regs. It centers around information on ho0w easy it is to get the password. For instance if someone clicks on the tournament something small about how they just need to register on the forum to get the password. That or "Check to get password" attached to the tournament title. There is a chance that because it is a password protected tournament with the lock symbol some users don't look at it. I'll be playing 2 tournaments tonight and will again encourage people to come play the series. I'm also offering up assisting with picking up any of the slack if you need efialtis. I don't mind doing any of the go between or confirmation/information gathering to assist in keeping the series tournaments running smoothly.

I've noticed that SwC_Poker account hasn't logged in since last Friday, they also haven't been very active here on the forum, like two posts in the last two weeks. Maybe they are on vacation or something and it's hard to set up the tournament, i don't know...i'm just speculating here because i have nothing better to do right now. Anyway, i just wanted to say that i'm a lock if it starts this Sunday.

Everything will be fine I have pimped the spreadsheet already to easier keep track of our lottery, so ready to go. I also added some flags, to show the internationality of our series. I might have missed some flags, since I don't know the nationality of all players or the country they live in. If your flag is missing and you want to have it added, just make a peep. And I am not sure about that UK flag tbh, but I think at least one of the regular players is from UK (?). Not sure, if people like to have those flags there in general, I can delete them again if wanted.

i'm in for sunday. like @Steamtyme said, maybe we can get a cash game or something going otherwise. I did have a thought though on trying to increase traffic, at least in trying to bring over some of their regs. It centers around information on ho0w easy it is to get the password. For instance if someone clicks on the tournament something small about how they just need to register on the forum to get the password. That or "Check to get password" attached to the tournament title. There is a chance that because it is a password protected tournament with the lock symbol some users don't look at it. I'll be playing 2 tournaments tonight and will again encourage people to come play the series. that's definitely part of it. it's a tricky issue, being that we need to collect the additional buy-ins from players. i've discussed in the SwC chat a couple times and my impression is those regs just wanna register directly and play. you could give them the password and they would play just for the direct buy-in and prize pool, but i don't sense much interest in the series structure and additional buy-ins. we did manage to get @ceehe on board in the first series, but he mostly dropped out in the second. Everything will be fine I have pimped the spreadsheet already to easier keep track of our lottery, so ready to go. I also added some flags, to show the internationality of our series. I might have missed some flags, since I don't know the nationality of all players or the country they live in. If your flag is missing and you want to have it added, just make a peep. awesome job, looks great. nice touch with the flags.

hey I forgot I wanted to bring this up when the series started. In the future for the small final I would like to see us lower the threshold to participating in 3 or 4 qualifiers to qualify for it.
Personally there will just be some games I can't make which can be up to half of the qualifiers depending on my work schedule. This can already negatively affect my chances of qualifying for the main, and feels sort of like a double whammy. Curious what others think about this. There could be a stipulation where at least one of the games needs to be the final 3 qualifiers if the worry is just about people joining early and stopping once they can't make the finale.

This can already negatively affect my chances of qualifying for the main, and feels sort of like a double whammy. Curious what others think about this. the 5 game requirement does seem like a little much. i think only 1 was required in the first series. the small final isn't huge from an EV standpoint, less than a buy-in. i'm not too worried about it. tbh, i was fine with just requiring 1 qualifier and letting everyone play, vs barring the top 3 from the championship. i see it more as just a one-off private freeroll for fun than anything else, not a serious consideration. There could be a stipulation where at least one of the games needs to be the final 3 qualifiers if the worry is just about people joining early and stopping once they can't make the finale.
that's fine with me if people think its warranted. my hope is the lottery will take care of that problem.

Yeah I'm definitely not looking at it from a prizepool perspective just a chance to participate and play. I am as active as I can possibly be in the series and I'm sure there are a few others who might actually want a shot at the prize that may not make 5 tourneys either. Just a thought, as it was the only thing that sticks out to me with our current format.

I am fine with whatever number of participations it will be to qualify, can be 1 as well. When putting up the 5/8, I had in mind that it would be an additional incentive to the lottery to join the tournaments regularly. But the prize pool for small final is actually indeed too low to make that a target-worthy. As it seems, neither the lottery nor anything else could attract more players, so I guess we should be happy with any (new) players who decide to join any given tournament.

I still think the lottery should just be for the entries, not extra for winning.
Also I cant talk this week it says I need 50 Krill, before it was 1.
Did something change in the settings?

Damn sorry Globbo. Yeah I just checked the SWC chat and they did increase it. Not sure why or why they didn't grandfather older accounts. You should inquire in the SWC thread, maybe they'll hook it up. If I could send you krill I would.

i didn't really think the lottery would attract new players. my hope was that it would keep regulars playing in the second half of the series, as people drop out of contention for the championship. too bad about the 50 krill chat requirement. that was the old requirement, a year or more ago, before they lowered it to 1. i wonder what caused the change. i've got a few hundred krill after relatively light low stakes play, so it shouldn't be out of reach for too long @Globb0.
