Yea I saw this yesterday, its a great new feature.
As an fyi the tournament on the 13th was not listed.
Just watch the vig (3-6%) but so long as you can still call in.
I don't see it listed on your schedule anymore?
So the player pays an extra 3-6% on top of the buyin+fee if using this thing?
Yup

We at the Great Blue Heron Casino have reviewed this surcharge and feel that it does not meet the requirements that the Great Blue Heron wishes to represent to our customers. At this point in time we do not wish to stop using this service, but looked to find a way to improve it by means of our own.
What we have chosen to do is split this cost of the surcharge with our customers. How we are going to do this is by reducing the amount of our administration fees for players who purchase seats online. A seat that would normally be $300 + $30 administration fee with a surcharge of 13.20 for a total of $343.20 will now cost, $300 + $24 administration fee with a surcharge of $12.96 for a total of 336.96.
If you still wish not to use the online service you may purchase seats in the casino at the Rapid Rewards Players Club using a cash or credit card. The seat will cost $300 + $30 administration fee. Phone-ins using credit cards will not be accepted.
I have done my best to make it more affordable online.

These tournaments will take place on each Monday and Tuesday during the month of August.
Thanks Dead Money I forgot to post the details on this one. I was too excited about getting the registration online.
Do we know the status of this?
Thanks again GBH for trying to fill the void that Ontario poker has when it comes to tournaments that have a somewhat decent structure.
Due to circumstances beyond my control this tournament had to be taken off the books. Please pay close attention to the forum. If things change I will let everyone know right away.
Pretty sure you don't get your assigned table and seat until you show up at the casino the day of the tournament, and it is random there.
The number you are assigned from your online registration has nothing to do with table or seat
No, the table and seat number assigned online when ordering the ticket is the table and seat number you get at the tournament.
