We're doing it again, and with better prize money. On Sunday February 13th 2005, we're holding a BJT-Members-only blackjack tournament at Global Player online casino.

Entry Fee: $40
Prizes: 100% payback plus $1000 added by the casino!
Time: Sunday Feb 13th, at 3 PM Eastern.

Prizes:

The final table prizes are 100% of the entries plus $750, and are distributed like this:

• 1st place: 45%
• 2nd place: 25%
• 3rd place: 15%
• 4th place: 10%
• 5th place: 5%

In addition, another $250 is paid out to some of the semifinalists who do not advance. On each semifinal table:

• 1st place: advances to the final
• 2nd place: $30 cash x 5 tables = $150
• 3rd place: $20 cash x 5 tables = $100

I Have Registered For The Wednesday & Saturday February Tournaments But I Can Not Find The Place To Register For The Members Only On 2/13. Any Help Would Be Appreciated.

Springbac, entering this tournament requires more work than getting a green card to pick grapes in California, bear with me and it may help to print this. You have to log on at their software icon not the website, click groups in the upper right hand corner, click multi player then blackjacktournaments.com $3,400 Tournament, click register here then click pay $40.00 to enter. You will get a confirmation of registration and i recommend you print the confirmation. FYI there are 52 spots still open as this post is made, hope this helps. rookie

Isn't jumping through all the hoops half the fun?

I reaqlly feel stupid since I cannot even find their "software icon" Is it on their home page or elsewhere?

He's referring to the icon that appears on your desktop after downloading the software and installing it on your computer. It opens with a screen that asks you to do the member log in first. Then, after login, you will see a screen with Groups in the upper right hand corner. Hope this helps

I was able to register by just loging in to the software, going to blackjack, and then selecting multiplayer. When it brings up the list of games you can play it also shows the tournments. If you select the tournament, it opens a pop up window where you can find a link to register. The link goes to a regular browser page where you can click on the register button and it gives you a confirmation that you are finished. You also get an email confirmation too, so it seems really easy.

It didn't actually ask me to register, it was just a confirmation that I wanted to pay the entry fee and be registered to play.

I just wonder though if it is a "closed" tournment if it shows up on everyone's list, or does GP already know that I am a BJT member?

[KenSmith]

ptaylor, you were already a member of the BJT group, thus the game appeared in your list automatically. Members here who did not participate in the free-roll in December will likely need to go to Groups first, and add the BJT group. To get the password needed to join the group, click the 'Members Area' link at the top of THIS page.

The whole process is very confusing, especially since for most of their tournaments you sign up in GP's Web Cashier, while the members-only tournaments are completely different, and you must find the actual tournament game under 'blackjack' inside the casino.

GP guys, any chance we could make everything consistent, and do this inside the Web Cashier instead? If the Web Cashier 'Tournaments' button were smart enough to offer the BJT event to only members of the BJT group, this would probably be simpler for everyone. Don't change it for this tournament unless it's easy to keep registration both places. But for future events, I think that would help.

Ken, what you said makes sense. I remember seeing a count of how many had already registered when I went to pay, but when I tried to find a count of registrations now I can't find it anywhere on their site. It would be nice if they would add something to the tournament page showing a running count of registrations. This would be helpful not only for this tournament but for all including the cruise one.
