TheVPL Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 Hi all, All the updates will be live on the site within the next hour. Prizes will be paid out tomorrow. I understand people's frustration with the delays, this is my fault entirely and will be much quicker moving forward. The simple fact of the matter, unfortunately, is that the league didn't really generate much interest from the start of the season and numbers have been consistently poor. We will be looking to freshen things up for next season and see if we can (re)engage some people, but this time around we had a huge amount of interest and registrations, but very few actually took part in the tournaments. We invited feedback from a lot of people - as many of you know - and made the structure as player friendly/attractive as we could, with approx $50,000 of prizes - subject to a minimum of 100 participating players. I'm still amazed that we didn't get that, but we obviously then had to adjust accordingly. We actually have over 400 players registered to the league, but only a fraction playing! Again my apologies to those who have been sticking with it for the delays, and I promise an improvement moving forward. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 things I would like to see changed if there is a fourth season: 1) Get a bigger online pokerroom to play the games (and so I can play too :ok) 2) Make the promo simpler. People had to read the rules a lot of times and some still didn't understand all of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Thanks for posting James. I would consider some better advertising (perhaps in pplayer mag) and having a couple of initial freerolls as a forerunner to the next league to generate interest, as these always get well supported.

TheVPL Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 The final is provisionally booked for Saturday 30th October. Should get 100% confirmation within the next 24/48 hours. Cheers, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVPL Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 DUPLICATE POST FROM OUR FORUM Hi all, We've had a number of emails from people about what dates they can and cannot make and we've tried to accommodate as many people as possible. The Final will be held on 6th November at G Casino Luton. We've not confirmed a start time yet - we're happy to go with the majority preference for afternoon/evening times. We were, of course, anticipating 50 runners for the final, but it doesn't look like that many will qualify. Rather than offer up these places via satellites or direct buy-ins (and reduce our overheads!!) we're going to reward those of you that have been loyal to the league by only allowing those that have played the required number of games take part. This effectively increases the value of the final to each participant. We'll get an email out today/tomorrow confirming this - in the meantime, any questions just let me know!

avongirl Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 Bumping this to remind those of us who have not yet played the required 22 games, but are close to that. As far as I know there are only 2 weeks of games left (8 games). As long as you've played 22 games I believe you will qualify for the final no matter how bad you've been playing :$ as I think there are far less than 50 who will make the requirement. If you're not sure how many games you've played it tells you on the main VIP league site, where the overall table is. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVPL Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 Hi all, The prizes etc. from last week should be credited tomorrow, along with Week11 updates on the website. This week is the final week, so only two more tournaments to go! Thanks again to everyone for their support during the season - we do have plans for another season, subject to sorting a couple of things out, and if we do it then we will definitely be advertising on other websites/forums/print magazines to try and get the numbers up and therefore increase the value.

James:eek The season was supposed to run 13 weeks which means there should be one more week to go. I've posted on the VIP forum to query this. If it ends this week I'll miss out on qualifying as I still need to get a couple of games in. :@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avongirl Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Re: VIP Poker League Season 3 James confirmed back on the VIP forum that he'd miscalculated and there is one more week to go. Phew, was going to be an expensive non-qualification for me if there wasn't. :eyes (as bwin hates me:tongue2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why you haven't appeared on that list, but you're definitely in. I'll check out what's happened as I can't see anything else glaringly obvious. admin hasn't been great !
