WTF? I heard there were two satellite tables running on Sunday, but when I got there, the satellites suddenly died and I didn't get to play a single one! I felt like "Half-Man" Tyrion going to battle, only to wake up hours later missing the entire war. :-[
With the late announcement and start of satellites, there are only FIVE weekends left :-\ before the WPT events start. Anybody that plans to play or is running a RFS should get the $1,100 and $275 super satellite entry cards soon before they sell out. With a maximum of 600 + 50 alternates this year, Fallsview will either cut off the card sales early or wait until enough $245 satellites have been run to get to 600. I think it's better to wait until the 600 entries have been won/sold, then only the four remaining satellites will run non-stop in the final week or two.
My guess is that they will then make >= 50 alternate seats available, either giving you a entry card that is distinguishable from the 600 cards bought or won (refunded if you don't actually get to play), or a waiting list system where you don't have to pay until your alternate number is called on February 18. Can anybody think of a better system to use for the 600+50 sell-out?
