UKPC £1100 game - how can there be 2 blank player names listed?

IrishRose

Hi

Daft question I'm guessing - but on looking in the UKPC £1100 lobby I've noticed that there are 185 players registered - but if I list them in alpha order there are 2 starting stacks showing as having no user name against them?

How can that be??

	50000
1yip	50000
2day	50000
70theo	50000
abzy89	50000

Reserved seats for the sats for cash players or Sky staff who dont have to qualify I guess.

Good morning.

I don't know the answer to this, but I'm not sure it is of any significance or import.

I'd make 2 guesses, it could be either or neither.

1) One or two "mystery guests" have been invited, from the world of sport & or entertainment, as has been the case for every UKPC, just as a way of improving the player experience. It could be that is the answer, & as yet, we do not know their alias. The main list - as per the lobby, 185 entries - was sent to DTD yesterday, with some info to follow when available.

2) It could be SB&G Staff who do not have Sky Poker aliases, as they can't play on the .com site. SB&G have sent 2 or 3 Staff to play every UKPC, in fact, one of them, Dave Dee, finished 19th in the August 2014 renewal for £3,500. They don't "qualify" as such, they get their seats by way of "Best Suggestions", excellence in their work, or various other internal Promos. SB&G are a Sports Betting organisation, get tickets for all major events (Sky Bet Football League, for example, or Sky Bet Sponsored Horse Races) & one way of rewarding & incentivising staff is by granting them occasional seats or entries. In fact, a scan of the player list clearly shows one well known Sky Poker staffie, Sky-Kirsty, but she has to have al alias to post on the Community. Some may think that's an extravagant perk, but SB&G are a terrific organisation to work for. Worth remembering, though, when there are "site issues" over a weekend, as there was a few weeks ago, it's "all hands on deck", & every single one of them who can assist is expected to drop everything & attend to resolving the issues.
 
Or it could be something else completely.

Tikay nailed it with his first point.

They are a couple of seats for players who have not confirmed their alias as yet but are doing so shortly.

The plural might be aliases.
