tournament is running again but i cant sit at my table..

Or...they could upgrade their capacity before offering a tournament they can't handle...

I think they were only at about 5500 players online at the start of the freeroll. There were more than that last night for a while.

I'm guessing they could handle 10 smaller tourneys, but they're gonna have to pull off the larger Sunday 100K regardless.

I wonder what changed? Lock used to pull both off without these problems. Have we ever actually gotten confirmation that this is, in fact, a server crash?

Mena- paused.

Nah it jumped to over 7600 right when freeroll started

lol just got home and fired up my client
I missed nothing...

How many times do you guys think they gave back the entry fees in these tournaments that they provide for a good 20 minutes? Why wouldnt they keep doing this sh*t every weekend if they are gonna make easily over 10k in their fees? They dont care about us at all

Obviously their system can't handle a 2500 person tournament.

When will they wise up?!

SPLIT THE FRICKING FREEROLL SAT INTO MULTIPLE SUPER SATS!


Give everyone 1 ticket to a super sat, then have 10 of them with a 300 person max per freeroll. Give 30 entries to the final actual freeroll per satellite.


I'm more concerned with what happens when the actual 100k tournament hits.

If it has 3000 players, it's going down too.

CANCELLED NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! !

LOL, and there it is... CANCELLED!!

CANCELLED!!!!

Just stop running the stupid freeroll IMO.

3 hours of push/folding for a CHANCE to do the same thing the next day is not worth missing out on 3 hours of stable cash games.

this network is the biggest joke I have ever witnessed it really is lol you just have to laugh

Looks like the freeroll's cancelled due to technical difficulties. Way to go Lock. Nothing to instill fear in your users like the inability for your servers to hold a simple tournament.

More inclined to think they are doing this on purpose now.

Where do they generate the 100 seats into the $100K from? Are they just giving away 100 seats at $109 a pop? That's nearly $11K. Considering you don't need to qualify for entry etc you just need a lock acct.

No way thats their best advertisement. Nobody else gives away 100 seats. thats so nice of them. Lock FTW!!!!!!!!!

I think Larson just hired some of her relatives to run stuff over there while she travels the world...

so when will they run this "rain check" tournament? 100k is tomorrow

Yeah they canceled it and now run another one shortly so that can crash as well. They really are pathetically stupid. Upgrade software and fix major issues but they fail to see whats really important when dealing with peoples money

They won't let me deposit and their freerolls won't work. Great business model, there.

They just need to operate within the abilities of their network. Right now their network cannot handle 2500 players in a tourney. It's obvious. Everytime they get a big tournament going, this happens.

So just keep the t-sizes down. No larger than, say, 500. Just look back through their history and see what the largest successfully run tournament was, and don't let them grow larger than that.

Split this satellite into 10 500 man super-satellites, give everyone one ticket to each of the super satellites, and give 50 seats per super. Then hold a 500 person final satellite to give away 100 seats.

Or just have 10 satellites and give away 10 seats per satellite.

I mean, there are ways to deal with this.

The real problem is what happens when the real tournament comes and they can't handle it.

It starts in an hour, registration is open.

Freeroll is backup and registering starts in 53 mins. Wonder if it will work this time...

new one starts at in 53 mins you can reg now!

50 seats today and 50 seats tomorrow morning should be interesting if it still crashes
