  As long as we are not being given full value of the stated prize winnings for the People vs. Pros tournaments due to cancellation, and no cash or equal prize value is being given, could we at least get the remainder in credits?

  The tournament fee which we are now not receiving due to there being no tournament is $495.

  Could I get my 495,000 credits please?

  This is not a joke either.

  (After much discussion) none of the winners are entirely thrilled with the situation, and at least credits would be approximate equal value, even though I'm not sure what use that many credits would be.

  Heh...

  From the terms and conditions:

  "Sponsor reserves the right to provide a substitute prize of approximately equal or greater value if the advertised prize becomes unavailable."

  ???

  $495 less is approximately equal? :(

  "If for any reason any portion of the prize is delayed, cancelled or postponed, or becomes unavailable, Sponsor reserves the right, but is not obligated, to cancel or modify the Contest in its discretion and award a substitute prize of approximately equal or greater value."

  When you write the rules you can make words mean what you want. For a 5000 dollar prize, 90% of it being given back to you would be approximately in a lot of people books. Not in mine, but I am sure those that wrote the rules would consider that approximate.

  Well, Sabbath, I can't go on the trip this weekend ... and I'm getting only the value of the plane ticket they already bought.  Winning the trip has been one of the bigger pains in my rear-end that I could ever imagine.

  Wow, that's awful too :(

  The whole thing is just screwed up for all parties involved, I know it's not WGT's fault PVP canceled.

  I'm sure the prizes are part of corporate sponsorships and things like that, they probably don't have the cash lying around to just give to us, which is why I suggested at least some credits. :\

  Just beating the dead one now though, am somewhat at peace with it. Dad should be arriving at Pinehurst very shortly.
