Empire 250k is NOT on Saturday!

[MicroBob]

Got this pop-up from Empire:

This Saturday - $250,000 Guaranteed

It's your last chance!
This Saturday, 21:00 EST begins our $250k tournament (blah blah blah).


I had to double-check the tournament page (since i had already qualified for this via a satellite) and confrimed that the tournament really IS on Sunday evening, (Dec 12) at 21:00 as I had previously thought.


How hard is it to get the day of the tournament correct on their pop-up page?
I'm very unimpressed.

[MicroBob]

They replied rather quickly.
I am still getting the pop-up for Saturday though.
I'm not going to send them a screen-shot because I don't feel like trying to figure out how to do it.

If someone else would like to take a screen shot of the pop-up (assuming I'm not the only one that is getting it) and send it to info@empirepoker.com then feel free.

About 30-60 minutes after I said I wasn't going to try to send a screen-shot I was able to figure it out and I actually did send one to them as per their request.

20 hours later....I still get the pop-up that says their Sunday $250k tournament is actually taking place on Saturday.

I assume others are getting this pop-up as well.

Kinda odd.
It's THEIR tournament afterall...they should probably know what day it is taking place.

Holding it that late on a Sunday is bad enough.

Enjoy the 3 hour levels once they finally converted to NL Tournaments, which this one is probably Limit anyways or I might TRY to qualify through their non existant single table Qualifiers!

BTW, 99.9% of posters here knew about the overlay, it will not be as big as it looks like it will be. I doubt they cover though......

WooHoo !!

When I ran camera at a television station we had a really lousy weekend weather guy who would sometimes trip over his own tongue and say the strangest things.

One particular time he said something like:
"25 degrees downtown...but the wind is 10 mph. That means it's colder outside then it really is."
