How will we be notified when the tournament for the first 2000 players will take place? I've been checking the bulletin board and there is no info. Thanks for the reply!

Once the exact date for the tournaments are announced we'll post the information in this forum and we also should be e-mailing those who qualify.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to qualify for this - one question admin . . . It says above that people will be divided into 200 groups - does that mean we only get one shot? It seems like there could be a lot of schedule conflicts with only one tournament that would limit participation.Is there any mechanism for requesting a group that would play on a certain date or something? Just curious, but for someone who works weird hours, this would be important. Thanks for any info.

Hi Scruff, we'll take what you're saying into account when we decide whether to randomly place players in one of the 10 tourneys or allow players to enter one of the 10 tournaments of their choosing.Good Luck

Played lots over the last few days to qualify for this tourney. Yesterday morning with updated points had approx 2300. Points updated this morning (overnight transaction), gave me approx 2700. I stopped playing yesterday afternoon, which would have brought me in under the deadline.Do I qualify?Thanks.BBF

Will we not know until tickets are distributed if we qualified or not?
The tickets should have already been distributed. You can see how many FCP points you have in your account area at the FCP website.http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker/myAccount.phpYour tickets if there are any will also be listed there. We also have e-mailed the players who qualified so check your spam folder if you think you should have received one and you didn't.

This is quite funny now that I go back and read the way it's written. By my calculations I had "earned" my 2500 FCP points by feb 12th, but since the site can take over a day to update them, they didn't show up in my point total until after 6pm on the 12th as points for the preceding day are not updated until 11:30pm CST. I played my arse off sunday to get those extra points just to qualify for this ticket and it would really suck to not have them because the system takes a while to update points. As of last night's update I have 2,781 points and i've played very little this week so this is clearly a timing problem with when points are updated.Handle is Naked_Cowboy. Could you check this out FCPInfo?
