OP, I think this is being ignored but it's too valid to dismiss. Did they record the names of everyone that finished 17-32 in the HU? If they did (and I'm assuming they did because they needed to match them for the round of 32), did they also record the names of people that finished 17-27 in the 7game event (outside of cashes)? I got knocked out in the mid-twenties and they didn't record my bust out. What about 15-27 in the PLO rebuy (outside of cashes)? What about 19-27 in the NLH rebuy (outside of cashes)?
I only bring this up because of the following situation: let's say they go back and say "nevermind, you DO NOT need to cash in order to receive points". Then there would be a whole bunch of points possible to the people finishing in the above positions that wouldn't have been recorded or regulated. Because it's too complicated to do that, they would just make a blanket statement that says "you must cash in order to receive points".
I also completely understand where you're coming from, and you may have a case legally. I'm just playing devil's advocate because this could be part of their thinking..."****. Well we screwed that up, but we can't fix the other screwed up events so we'll just say 'no cash, no points'" and it came back to bite em.
