PS.fr launched flight tournaments last week (it was already available on winamax) where you have multiple days 1 where you can qualify for a day 2.
It started the 1st of may with day 1 every day (at 15h and 21h ) to qualify for the final day (day 2 final will start just a couple dozens of players before ITM).

The first tourney was a 10€ 100k gtd and the 50€ was a 200k gtd.
Obviously yesterday at 21h was the last qualification as said on the lobby of these tourneys "Dernière chance" (last chance) with 3 hours late reg.
I regged both at 23h58 (but we don't care about my case) and the field was 9992 players total on all the flights of the 10€ (so basically instead of a playing a 9+1€ tourney it was rake free) and on the 50€ total players was 3631 players (so basically rake free +18.5k added by Stars).


But obviously as classy as they can be (and i like Stars so it really sucks ...) they added another flight (read that on french forum and saw that on total players on lobbies of these tourneys on stars.fr since i didn't qualify for the final of the 5th at 21h - it's already the 6th on France, friggin timezones) the 5th at 16h with 1131 players in the 10€ and 495 in the 50€ reaching a total of 11123 players in the low (9+1 for 100k gtd so 0 overlay) and a total of 4126 players in the 45+5€ (for 200k gtd so they lose money but not in fact, it's not like running a tourney cost 5€ per player , and since most players have low vip status like silverstar or goldstar even with rakeback they are still covering their costs.)

Absolutely not classy by stars : instead of having like 18.5k offered (+ 0 rake on these 2 tourneys) that went into 0 extra money in the low and people paying some rake on the 50€ (even if it's only 1.53€ rake instead of 5€ stars is totally ok with the thing, because at first the tourney was a "pay 50€ get 55€ value" ...

Those who RULE make the RULES ! Them bastards !

So you think because they make the rules it's acceptable that the last flight called "Last chance" is not the last one and they add another because "omg overlay we need to save some money" ...
Must be nice to change the rules of the thing after the beginning of it without warning players ...

I'd b e pissed as well OP. Not classy.

I'mAFrechDonkey,

I don't see anything wrong with it.

Dernière chance!

are flight tournies day 1a, 1b, 1c?

No not at all ...That's why I threw in a " Them Bastards "

Full Tilt Poker did the same thing with the FTOPS/Mini FTOPS multi-day flight tournaments.

FTOPS Event 17, initially deployed with 1 day 1 flight per day for 8 days (Sunday through Sunday), was looking like it would obviously overlay after the first few days, so two additional day 1 flights were added on the last two days, and it met the guarantee.

Mini-FTOPS Event 2 then also had these additional flights on the last two days and it had an overlay, and in response, for Event 17 Full Tilt added an additional flight on Friday, and another additional flight on Saturday (making three day 1 flights on Saturday), and, even with a total of 12 day 1 flights rather than the initially planned 8 day 1 flights, it still overlayed.

Scum move by both Full Tilt and Pokerstars.

Yeah.
Multiple days 1 and the day 2 (final) starting with the remaining players of each flight (so since the flights ended with around 12% players from the starting field) the final day started juste before ITM.

Strange that Stars would add an extra day here to angle out of a relatively small overlay when they wouldn't reopen late entry (as it was in fact advertised and expected by those who had already entered the MTT) on that Warm Up that overlaid $260k due to late reg not automatically opening.

not pokerstars.com

so I guess different decision makers

Couldn't, not wouldn't.

Criminal? No, but bad form for sure.

Changing the rules after the event has already started is obviously bull****.
