I would assume 2x Chance is a limited rebuy of (2) whereas a rebuy is unlimited?

Win a tournament in the Rattlesnake Open and get a trophy and Global swag. You can not purchase it otherwise.

Is it possible to get more Ante-Up games added to these stable events in the future and it would be great to get a couple added to the regular game line up.

I won a $33 Ticket in the Freeroll this afternoon. Does anyone know where that shows up and what you are allowed to use that on? I tried to register for various $33 Tournaments (including Rattlesnake ones) and SNGs and I don't see how to register using the ticket I won. If I just hit Register, it takes $33 from my SC balance.

Food for thought here. I like the Hometown Heroes promo but it would benefit global a great deal if you opened this up to all players, not just the winners of the tournaments. Ultimately, it is a max of like $150. This seems like a great option for all players to promote the site without officially being a bonus.

Hi good morning. If you read the details under the rattlesnake freeroll tournament you will see that the tickets will be given out manually for each individual winner so this will take time. They are listed under tickets in your profile or something similar

the ticket system is horrible at global.

what shawnb said is true, but +1 to you, it is awful

Maybe they should just use T$, where a winner of a sat can enter into as many or as few tournaments as he wants using the T$, which is only redeemable for tournaments. That seems easier than manually issuing tickets to everyone, lol.

With that said I have a 33$ ticket (I don't know how I got it), but I am able to use it for the 30+3 rattlesnake MTT tonight

Thanks shawnb, I see it now. If I go to the "Items" tab, it shows up there. When I click on it, it shows all the upcoming Rattlesnake $33 mtts I can join. It does say it expires on May 22 and it has to be used on exactly $33 Rattlesnake donkaments.

Why'd you dump the 8k GTD during the rattlesnake??

Same question I have. Very disappointed when I didn't see it on the schedule
05-01-2018 , 11:29 AM
The guarantees are not very good in as well. Why would anyone play a 5 dollar rebuy for a 3k GTD when there is a daily 7k 5 dollar rebuy? Global is upping buy ins and lowering GTDs. Banking some serious cash. It would be nice to see some decent maintenance and fix the damn bugs. Im waiting for the Omaha tourneys. The GTDs are just as low with the inflated buy ins... but I love Omaha.
Good luck to those that choose to play in the Rattlesnake games.

since this network (seemingly trollishly) removes everything from the lobby the second it's over,

anyone got any stats from the events yesterday? how many runners in the 33? the 110? what was UT in either? avg length of these things? like 4/5 hours like the 2008 ftp stars days, or like 9 hours (seems no chance with lack of late reg and the turbo'y structures)

been thinking of mixing in volume due to wpn debacle n already annoyed about being back on vada/ignition.


seeing they dumped their best daily guarantee, im hoping that means traffic picked up in the other birds they ran?

total waste of time and table space to throw a few of todays/this series events in ? wish i could know, but fkn tournaments removed from lobby before i even got back from dinner at my gf's last night couldn't even see runners or prizepool or anything lol.


don't you want something for your new funplayers to look at and be like 'ooooh ahhhh look those scores that coulda been me!'
05-01-2018 , 07:21 PM
785 469 and 227 for the low, mid, high respectively

they don't take long, got 9th in the 33 and it was 4 hours

they were 6m though, 9m obviously takes a bit longer

sick thanks for the info

also notice that nothing in the lobby is still running or shown as completed and fairly sure they started ~6-7 hours ago so guess i have more rough confirmation for avg length of time to finish

How many points took down the top 10 spots on the tournament leader board from the grizzly games?
05-03-2018 , 01:48 AM

Dang, sorry man. 2nd is still awesome, but it would have been cool to see some hardware for you.
