You must include your forum username in the Your Name section. Failing to do this will mean your application is rejected and you'll have to apply again.
Method 2: Members with under 35 posts
If you have under 35 posts, we will consider your application and allow you to play if we think that it's for the good of FTR - this league is meant to be a celebration of the forum and a way for members to get to know each other!
If you fall into this category, post in this thread. It'll probably be worth writing a little bit about yourself, as well as why you want to play. If you know someone who will vouch for you that would also help, as well as some quality strategy posts etc :)
The league starts on the 7th of October and we will be taking applications up until that date. Members with over 35 posts will be accepted after the 7th, with a few exceptions (e.g. if you are rejected with 5 posts and then spam 30 posts to try and quality automatically!)

I so badly want to blast you for this but for some reason can't find the will to. You have to apply through stars home games to become a member of any poker club. Read the OP and follow instructions.

I don´t have yet 35 posts but i i wll get it very soon so i´m going to register in your league. I hope i can play in the beggining of the league in 7october
This will allow for us to track your results and automatically generate standings. If you've already done this then you'll already be tracked so no problems there!

Hello Honorable Deciders, Please accept my application for the Gauntlet. If (okay fine, ‘when’ is more probable) I bust out at Bay 101 I’d love to throw down. Thank You -m**e

Ok let me just say this outloud right here. If you have to ask to be included you're probably not going to be included.
10-05-2012, 08:53 PM

Excuse me? Then what is the point of METHOD 2? Why state that my application will be considered and that I must post in this thread?
10-05-2012, 09:10 PM
Pascal
jyms isn't quite correct. If you show an interest in the site, and a willingness to participate, then we'll consider your application. Post some hand histories, give some solid advice, participate in some discussions, maybe have someone you know put a word in for you. simpledude16 is a good example of that. If you just open this thread without looking anywhere else on the site and post asking to join, it's unlikely you'll be successful. If you do make some posts just to get into this season, and then don't post until the application for the next season, don't expect to be accepted next time - keep that in mind. Hope this clears things up :)

Thanks. Big J Money and Xianti could vouch for me, though it's been awhile;
If I have a seat someone can email or msg me, I've had enough of jumping through ambiguous hoops.

Unlike some people,i would jump threw hoops and just jump for any good cause.I have been turned down for the moment to join the Gauntlet games and i do fully agree the reason why.I will prove myself and in time i do hope to be a qualified member.I do have 2 questions.
1. Where is the hoops ?
2. How high would you like me to jump ?

Was the fact that Xianti showed his ugly mug here a "vouch" or was it to defend the fact that he is not "Spideyberge the weird-looking asian guy"

Haha... That was quite a coincidence. I didn't even know Mike (Straw) had come on here for the Gauntlet. I happened to be wondering what was up with the league just yesterday, only to find that season X starts today!
I know Straw, but I'm not here to vouch for him, as it's really not for me to say either way.
Game on! Does the fact that this happens to be Gauntlet "X" mean anything?

Hi everyone,
I just signed up to this site. I've been a casual poker player for a couple years, but finally decided to make a real money online account at pokerstars. I wish I would've noticed site sooner, or if the deadline was beyond Oct.7. Is it definitely too late to sign up now? Thanks

Hi Xianti, I'm new here, but after looking around the site. It seems that Gauntlet "X" is the 10th edition of the Gauntlet (roman numerals).

No response yet to my application to join. I hope to play next league series so no great rush to join but thought I would post a reminder anyway.
