No shows?
One word of completely obvious advice. If you are coming from out of town leave yourself plenty of time to get here for Saturday morning or stay the night in KW at a hotel or another players house.
Now, my question. If a team has a no show and cannot find a replacement is that team disqualified or will that player get last place points in each event they are not there for? I don't like the idea of blinding a player out. I think the best idea is to have them get last place in that discipline. Hopefully by the next event they will be able to find a replacement.

Blinding them out implies that they paid their entry, which I'm assuming they won't have.
Well the way that most men your age drive, I'd say you should start scraping those windows off now. I also give advice on reminding people to breathe, eat food and have a beverage now and then...

Almost forgot to throw in a jab. If the HBK had all post n folds they may finish a bit better then last time

From what I remember in talking last time when a couple players were going to be late was that they would be blinded in until they bust as they have technically paid for their chips.
Only in the HU portion of the tournament. 1-7 Baby!!!!
that is not always possible. I've already contacted Sandro about the possibility of us being late. Aimee works till 9 am that morning and we will leave soon after that. Don't worry about how I drive I'm worried about the other idiots on the road. This idiot knows how to drive.
Now on a more serious note, we have lost a player (I'm on Tilt) and need a replacement. Please pm me if anyone is willing to play.
Seems a little unfair that your team would be penalized if one of your players doesn't show up. Wouldn't it make more sense to just average out the placement of the remaining players on each team to come up with an average score for each event? not sure how a team that is short one player can come from behind if one of their players is guaranteed (mostly likely) last place in each event. Especially since the other players end up having to pay more to enter the tournament in the first place. Hopefully there will be some alternate players available on Saturday as in the past. I know most tournaments I have attended in the past usually have a 10-20% no show on the day of the tournament. KW based teams definitely have an advantage due to the location of the tournament.
It may seem unfair, but this is a Team Tournament. Right from the start, the buyin was always $400 per team, it was not a $50 buyin per player. Obviously nobody wants to have a team playing with only 7 players, but you can't just make a team of 7 and take some form of average score multiplier to get what they would have had with a team of 8. Why should a team with only 7 players get more points for each single table they played than any other team? Every table has 9 players so there is no reason to make first place worth more for one player than another.
Also, I highly doubt somebody blinding out would be last place in each event as there are plenty of chips to play with and in my experience with the first 2 tourneys, there were not many tables which didn't kill off a couple players in the early blind levels, way before somebody would be blinded out.
I know first hand what it is like to try to get a full team of 8 together at the last minute as I had players drop last time and only found a replacement player about an hour before RC 2. Our replacement player had never played PLO, played LHE a couple times but we made the best of it and got him as much info on the games as we could.
Hahaha I'm glad we're on the same page here
It seems I may need to start typing a little faster though
As Sandro said though, a player blinding out will likely not finish in the bottom 3 all that often. Much more than I can say of my own results in these
Should be fun.
pokerJAH...this has been and will be a great day. Take a deep breath, put your faith in those that run it, and have an AWESOME time.

The shirts are red. I think your vision may have been 'impaired' last time
Going for back-to-back MVPs or are you staying sober today?
