We're getting close...
If you haven't logged in to the casino yet to get the update, do so now. The update could take several minutes over dial-up connections, and you definitely want to have that out of the way before the tournament.
(There's less than 2 hours left before the event begins.)
Once you get the update, you'll need to close the casino software, and open it again. As others have noted, you can tell that you're running the new version by looking at the version number in the title bar of the casino software. It should read 2.0.14.255.
While we've had a few hiccups with this process, I appreciate that GP is taking our suggestions to make these events run better. The latest version of software addressed a complaint we had in previous events, that you couldn't tell if your opponents had surrendered their hand, until after the hand. Now you can tell immediately.
c7, Here's a reference about those
comp points.
Basically, if you're playing in the casino during the month, they'll give you an extra 50c for every day you've logged in ($1 the first time each month). I log in pretty much every day, even if I'm not planning to play. Hey, 50c is 50c!
