Hello there, Today I've played the tourney after getting my 3 jokers, and I was surprised with so many people away from keyboard (afk), there were at least 10... and that is kinda bad, because some forum posters, and some active bankrollmob users havent played that freeroll yet, and those sitted out players took out their places. Also, those sitted players make the tourney easier
I would suggest to ask the players that get the jokers, what date will they be able to play, or if they can in order to avoid sitted out players

We considered it but it would just make it even more confusing, so we make sure that people understand that they will play _two_ days after and we even send out an e-mail a few hours before it starts, so people will play.
We can't change anything now, but we can always try to do it better next time.

Indeed...it's all too common in a freeroll for people to just not play it...and it makes things BETTER for you, so I don't see the point in complaining!

Hmmm its a debateable fact that when you have lesds players at your table you can play a little looser, but the fact that this is a freeroll all be it a very good one (great prizes) there should be some sort of communication betwen BRM and the players winning the seats as if they can not make the tourny then why let the seat go to waist? Its a shame that not everyone will even get into the feeder tourny and there are seats going unused....SHAME ? I have for this reason chosen not to scratch on days where i'll be working/ unable to play the following 2 days. so i'm activly missing the opertunity to win in the hope i'll have a chance to play in the end. But like wise is there not some way a player could transfer the seat to a Mobster that can make the tourny? I understand that its a random win thing but seats going spare ...its a crime.

Administrator, did we have to download partypoker from BRM in order to play, or if we joined be4 and we get the jokers can we play this tourney ?
