OK, this has been added. There's now a summary of # of events, total buyin, and average buyin by year and for all years in the database.

tyty appreciate it looks good

hasn't been working for me, I get error message every time

Care to elaborate? I just tried a search to make sure things still work and it performed the search fine for me. What error message did you get?

I've tried a first + last and just last name. Both give me this message..

Illegal division by zero at /usr/www/users/pl390/wsopdb.com/index.cgi line 169.

I'm on a macbook could that be a reason?

That means that your search yielded no results.

I just put in a catch so it won't spit an error.

oh yeah it works just hadn't put in a name that yeilded results. false alarm

I see bracelet events but not WSOPc ring events...

Ty... Looked good

I don't believe they publish registration lists for ring events.

I heard they werent publishing registration lists this year for wsop bracelet events so I tweeted at the wsop and got the following reply :

". @GrimeRat420 Correct, we will not be publishing registration lists this year.
@Gags30poker @GrimeRat420 Want to respect the privacy of our customers by not making that information public. "

ahh hope backers invest in trustworthy horses!

I never tweeted pics of MTT receipts since they had it online. Sigh, guess I'll be snappin pics this series.

Interesting/disappointing. Was hoping to keep wsopDB.com alive for 2013.

Grrrrrrrrrrr. So now won't be able to see that Xxxx Miss "Pro" played every single event with 0 cashes.

WSOP wants to market itself as a game/sport worthy of being on ESPN, but now is going to hide who's playing the events?

Imagine golf/tennis/billiards/snooker/darts/chess/backgammon/scrabble blacking out entrants/results from their most prestigious events. WSOP is putting poker in the league of degenerate baccaret play and thats not good.

Yeh exactly, their reason being that their intent is to protect the privacy of the player implies that playing poker is something to be ashamed of and that people need to hide that from the public. A tourney series as widely publicized as the wsop should be treated like any chess tournament in that all players/matches/results are out in the open.

I'd tweet about this but can't be bothered.

I think it's a pretty big issue though that they are essentially saying playing Poker is something shameful and people should want to hide that they've played it.

wait, registration lists aren't being published this year? wtf is that.

I think you guys are not understanding what he means by protect the privacy of their customers.

I'm pretty sure their reasoning is that they do not want databases being formed where the public can track how much money a single player has won, or more importantly, lost in a single WSOP or throughout their lifetime. They want to protect the rec player from being berated as a fish because you can look up their results and see they are a lifetime 100k loser in WSOP events.

Except you can look up the results of every Golfer ever.
Every Tennis player. Every Chess player. Every Bowler.

But not poker, because poker is shameful and we shouldn't know who is really good and who is really bad.

We understand their reasoning 100%; we just think it is wrong.

In a perfect world backers would have access to the info without something like wsopDB from being created. It is likely to turnoff some people from playing if those types of databases are created. I'm sure a lot of recreational players come out to Vegas to play and don't want their significant others, family, friends, co-workers etc know how much they are losing/have lost.

I can't even really think of a reason why a recreational player would want that info published anywhere on the internet, and we should be doing everything we can to keep the recreational player comfortable.

DoGGz, I don't think your analogy works. There are probably tennis players and golfers on tour that have sponsors/backers that lose money on them. That information isn't public. Why should it be? I don't see why you should ever be able to look someone's name up on the internet and see how much money they've lost at poker. That's ridiculous.

Anyways, this is a little concerning for this MP. Definitely need to make it mandatory to tweet receipts/stacks, etc. Maybe we can brainstorm to find a better way to prove you played other than that (as we all know that's not a 100% confirmation).

How is it fair to say my analogy doesn't work when I am talking who participated and how they finished and you are talking private sponsorship deals? Those two things aren't the same at all.

There are plenty of people in this world who look down upon anyone who plays poker, that doesn't matter to most of us but it probably matters to a lot of business men.

Yes I am saying we have been trying to change that for years and this is a step backwards.

We have a winner! It is imperative to protect rec players and keep the recreational players coming back. Heres an idea... lets have a database out there that shows how much money they have lost buying into the WSOP! That will just keep them coming back year after year!

This has nothing to do with poker being shameful, has more to do with protecting recreational players.

I'm not saying I disagree with you Dogz, I'm just saying that the other side has merit.
