UB Mess up - Page 2

Well I give up, I asked them why they stopped the tourney and this is what they told me:

"Hello,

As it has no consequences on who is first, second or third. The third place
plays at 2pm, the second at 4 pm and the first place at 6 pm.

Please contact us if you need any further assistance.

Best regards,

Tony
Customer Service"

I think the problem is that they dont seem to understand the fact that 1st plays for $1000, 2nd for $500, and 3rd for $250. They are going about this as if they think all three places pay the same thing. I don't know how to explain this to them any more.

Respond with 'no consequences? how is 750$ not a consequence?'

I know, it's like I'm talking to a [censored] brick wall.

You must have been playing my roommate Adelbomb in that tourny. He got 6th I think.

Ask them to show you where this stupid idea originated. It sure isn't normal UB tourney policy. Not that I win that many, but I cash in enough to know reaching the magic number doesn't place you. These things play until only 1 remains.

They've stopped responding to my emails, either they've had enough of my emails or they realized what they did and are trying to think of a way to fix it......I don't know. Any more ideas of what I should do tommorrow when I'm playing with Phil? Should I tell him to shove it unless they fix it? Thats what I'm leaning towards.

don't be silly. Play him and take the money - argue later

Argue later? I doubt they are going to do anything after I've played him. I'm more concerned about the principal of the thing than the $250.

I'm sure it won't be Phil anyway.

How sure?
