Very nice. $109 is to much for me, so getting one for $5,50 is a great chance Now I just need to rush over, and check if I can play the main event

gl gl!

only wish i could play.

Great opportunity thanks for organising. One point I would make is that since only 9 players are required for the game to run hopefully there should be no need to release the password on a public forum like Facebook.

probably just within the forum but nothing is final yet.

tournament now live!

That seems good, but it will be better if the password will not be post on online forum like facebook. It will be better if only qualified members can see it.

Yes, but then we would not have enough players to run the tournament

^ could've sworn that there were more than 9 forum regs playing in the ftr250 on sunday. was working so couldn't make it in time but you got 4 or 5 already expressing interest in the thread , add in yourself jyms , chipeaterman daven,rong ongie hoopy kickassand some of the russian qualified members and you'd easily get past the min number of players.

then just let the password thieves spread the easily guessable (by that stage) password and the tourney will be full before any ftr members get to register

Keith, there were only around 60 players even with the password being released on Facebook. Adding a buyin keeps it down, whereas a freeroll would have 300,000 players in the blink of an eye

Thanks for remembering me. I'll play this one. What is the minimum number of players required?

I enjoyed playing with the forum regs in the last tourney

Thats not my point though. If its an FTR reward tourney from stars why not make it so that the people who make the FTR community what it is ,have a decent chance at winning those seats , rather than any passing tourney player looking down the lobby and seeing a tourney with a fairly large overlay and smallish field and think ing "ooo that looks juicy, how do i get in " and then finding out " i just have to look at their facebook page". All the buyin will do is replace the freeroll password thieves with people looking to satellite in on the cheap.

FTR means nothing to them , they won't be signing up for any room promotions, unlikely to actually create an FTR account or become involved in the FTR community.

If you make it so its qualified players only , those people may think that joining FTR and getting involved may give them a chance at any future tourney like this.Once you get more active people involved it will help to drive traffic to the site and help return it to pre black friday traffic levels.

The Facebook password release is only to attract more attention to the freeroll. At some point in the very near future now we've done it for a few months (either the next tournament or the tournament after that) we'll stop releasing it on Facebook. Then the people who were playing it and enjoying it will then have to become Qualified Members. So we basically have the same idea - sorry if I wasn't clear about that before

EDIT: To be honest, I was thinking of waiting a couple more months before stopping releasing the password, but you're right. Next month this tournament will become for FTR Regulars only, and the password won't be released anywhere else. Thanks for the feedback Keith!

So pascal, to clarify, is this tournament password going to be released in Facebook?

This one - I'm not sure. I think there are plans for a requirement for freetrollers who want to play and there might be a requirement from Pokerstars we wouldn't meet with just Qualified Members.

The FTR250 password on the 30th of May this month won't be released on Facebook and that'll still have $250 added.

I'm too busy this month for any poker shenanigans, but would always love to play more ftr regs in these events

Yeah, ignoring this tournament, I only play any of the ftr games to have a bit of fun with guys from the forum. I played in the ftr 250 recently and the only person at sat with that I knew was jyms, who promptly busted me

This month's FTR250 should be fun then

The password will be released on the FTR Forum to qualified members 1 hour before the event and to general forum members 15 mins before

Less than one hour to go until this event starts! The password has now been released to Qualified Members!

Gg

Password available to Qualified Members 1 hour prior

Password available to all forum users 15 minutes prior

Ah got my timezones mixed up its 1pm pacific start time cool
Plus guy said gg thought it started and he busted lol

Password????

Gl boys

Kolja 365 !!!!

READ THE POST´S BEFORE ASKING.......

it's fun to see new member´s behave like little kids in a candy store to get a password, but in the long run just annoying.
I´m also a new member but come on read befor u post and dont ask the same thing over and over again.....
(Just my opinion)

TL;dr

Can you tell where? In this topic?

it'll be interesting to see how many of you new posters stick around and join in , and how many are just here for a shot at a scoop ticket never to be seen again.

Where is the pass????????

Is there late reg?

15 reged when it was the forum regs able to see password ......i think my point is proved and the tourney players looking to sat in on the cheap are now flocking in .

it's a pity

118 players. It's ok

Lol Pascal, 3rd from last.

It is full of one post guys and loads more who are not members. Is that okay?

I think my comments were confused by myself - the tournament on the 30th of this month will be open to regs only. The prize pool for this one was so big - even open to all players it was still nearly $5 added a player - that we could not leave it at just 20 players unfortunately. If you guys keep recommending these tournaments to your friends and the qualification group continues to grow I'm confident we can stop needing to release the password to everyone

Maybe send the password by mail, like the FTR250?
Make it 500vpp-1000vpp+ whatever ya people like .
