  alosso:

  Most of all, they should make ONE statement throughout and not leave any doubt.

  And that sums it up, there was doubt as it would appear to have been poorly worded (plus ties).and not stating any caveats should this situation arise.

  Either poorly thought out or poorly worded, but regardless which, I think WGT should come to an amicable resolution for those concerned. Sure it will cost a little, but conversly, I wonder how many sleeves of ball these players used in trying to qualify. Sometimes when you screw up, you just have to take it on the chin.

  Sometimes a cut will be announced and forgotten, now 50 players may get a voucher or not.

  Where do you get this nonsense from?

  Mind your words please. The cut subject is fact from last year's summer tournaments. I have proof in my hands that players with scores above the cut line were allowed to continue to rounds two and three in KIA, STA, BPB. Not a big thing, no harm taken, rather some added fun for the players concerned, but it shows their indifference towards the written rules.

  Also, the issue at hand is not yet solved. They posted differing statements about the rules which leave a doubt concerning the outcome.

  Get on topic, please. There were no hats from those tournaments. This is about Open qualifiers.

  alosso is merely pointing out that "it shows their indifference towards the written rules" and provided an example.

  So, why don't you stick to the topical part of my post in the first place? Is this your tactic to avoid the debate of foreign criticism against a coveted national company?

  Turns out to become the most ridiculous talk of the year. Sorry for that.

  I did until you turned away. I'll leave you alone there now - have a nice day.

  Enjoy your day Jim.

  Just rec'd this email from member services:

  "Dear mkg335,

  It is my understanding that all 200 plus players who moved on are going to be receiving the $25 gift card.

  So good on yer, WGT...a happy ending it seems.

  Great news for you and well done WGT for coming to the party, but then again they made the rules. Perhaps next time they may pay more attention to the wording :)

  LOL. You would think. This happens every year.
