God dag envar PokerForum.nu,
Firstly we’d like to thank the owners of this site for allowing us the opportunity to be on forum. We appreciate it. We’re also very sorry for the late response – we’ve had a bit of trouble trying to get registered properly.
Just a bit of background:
As we’re sure that you are well aware, the recent freeroll being held by The Gaming Club Poker room for the 86 members taking part in the SCOOP event encountered difficulties and as a result had to be cancelled.
Players who were not supposed to be in the tournament were able to register and there were difficulties concerning the blind escalation as well.
We understand that this must have caused much frustration and inconvenience for those people who were legitimately registered for the tournament, took time out to play and did not have a favorable experience.
We are not 100% sure what happened to cause the tournament to run in the way it did (and we are still looking into it with Prima Poker) but it does point to errors in the setup, which we will follow up on to prevent the same thing happening in the future. Whatever the error may be though, a mistake was made and we will do our very best to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
From us at The Gaming Club Poker Room, we would like to offer our sincere apologies to the participants of the tournament. We most certainly did not intend for this to happen and we hope this does not tarnish your experience with us too much.
To make up for this, we are currently in negotiation with the owner of PokerForum.nu to reschedule a replacement tournament for this (which WILL be setup correctly and monitored by us directly for the duration of the tournament) and we will be increasing the prize pool to $750.
We hope that this meets with your approval and that we can look forward to a successful SCOOP tournament.
The moderators also mentioned that some players here had difficulties with account registration etc. If so, you are most welcome to send us a private message on the forum and we will be happy to look into it for you and will respond as soon as we possibly can. Just a reminder to please send the message in English as our Swedish isn’t up to scratch yet.
We’d also be glad to answer any other questions or assist with queries the users may have as best as we are able. Please bear in mind that we aren’t online 24 hours a day and we will get back to you as soon as possible via the forum.
Tack själv mycket.
Kind Regards,
GCP
