    In Response to Re: £50,000 PRIORITY Premiership will run in November : I've been lucky enough to make priority a fair few times in the last 2 years - but I've never received an email from priority until I've had to chase it each time (waiting for confirmation again this time).  A minor gripe I know - but it really shouldn't be so difficult for emails to be sent to people hitting the 10k points each month surely?

    Well you'd think so, Rose, but things are not always as easy as you may think, the whole database is very complex, & needs all sorts of adjustments to ensure the correct names are in or out. If it were that easy, it'd always be correct, but it's not. I've also done my best to communicate clearly & promptly in reply to everyone's issues.

    Having said that, wrong is wrong, & it should not happen, so apologies. 

    I honestly think the Prio Scheme here is excellent, very good indeed, so I hope this minor inconvenience does not detract from that.

    UPDATE The issue of some players wrongly being omitted has now been addressed. It affected, I believe, around 20 players.   In each case, all the points they have earned since the start of the Promo will be honoured & backdated.   However, you will not see the corrected Leaderboard which reflects this until tomorrow (Friday). So please hang in there until tomorrow, after which everything should be tickity boo. If you have any queries after tomorrow's Leaderboard is published, then post accordingly. Thanks, & apologies.

    Hi TK,

    Were the 20 omitted all the newbies?

    630 pts is probably about right, it was after midnight when I checked.

    Disappointing that £693 worth of MTT buy ins, in one day, was not enough to get any points.

    I'm sure you are correct, it's just it seems a big coincidence to be omitted and for it also not to be enough points.

    But if you say 630 wasn't enough, I believe you, and accept that, although clearly it is unlikely I will get any points at all, as 630 points is a massive day for me, and I will now of course be competing against the triple point SNG and Cash boys.

    Anyhow, like you say, there are other promotions potentially on the way, so perhaps some of them will be more MTT friendly.

    Cheers,

    G

    You just missed the top 10 in league 1. 630 points was the 100th highest total of the day and most of those players are in this promotion. Why don't you try your hand at sit n gos during treble points? I'm sure you would be +ev.

    I probably was not anywhere near like Graham, I got 675 points so am probably much higher maybe 99th :-)
    As this equates to over £700 in buy ins in one day, I suspect this amount of money is out of reach of most people. And there is just not enough tournaments for a MTT player to get anywhere in this promotion. Unlike Graham I play S&G's as well, so in theory I have a bit more of a chance, but not that much to be honest as somedays I hardly play as I am busy doing other things.
    Still no email, flashing lights in the poker client, dancing girls etc. to let me know if I am in priority. If I hadn't happened to look and notice I had gone past the 10,000 points I would never had known.

    I just played MTTs and was in the top 10 in the championship so it is possible.

    You may have misunderstood me. He was the 100th out of all players on the site, not the 100th in league 1.

    Apologies for moaning yet again - but what Sir Gary has put has really hit the nail on the head.  Without any email confirming priority status there is no way of knowing other than checking the points tally in the "my account section" for the month.

    I agree that an email would be better Rose.

    But with respect it's not really a big ask to check the points for yourself. I get bank statements but I also regularly check my balance for myself.

    I think most people who look to make priority will be fully aware of their points and not just leave it to chance to see if they get there.

    I don't know, Liam, maybe they had some issues to sort today.

    It will be updated tomorrow, for sure.

    Yes, understood Rose.

    In my post at 12.21 today I did try to explain what had happoened, promised that it would be resolved, & apologised. I can't really do or say more than that.

    Not blaming you Tikay, you act as the man in the middle and do it rather well I think, but realistically you have no actual control as to what happens, all you can do is keep nudging where you think it might work.
    For the future, and I realise not now, as clearly there are other issue to sort software wise. The app, the client and even the browser could be improved. Perhaps a widget at least or something similar to let people know about the priority status might be a good idea

    Hi again Liam.

    It seems there was some sort of fly in the ointment yesterday, but the Update which should have appeared yesterday is now there, & today's Update should be there later today, too.

    You seem to be going along nicely in 3rd place, well done.
     
    The page with the Leaderboards can be seen HERE
     
  • edited November 2016


    Just want to embellish what MattBates wrote, which may be helpful to Rose, Gary & others, there IS a points Widget for Prio Customers already.

    You can see it displayed prominently (top right) 
    HERE

    So you should be able to see at all times how many points you have earned in the current month. It Updates in real time.

    You need to consult this frequently, so you can adjust your volume if necessary if, say, you are a little behind schedule.
     
    Hope that is of some help.

    That's not quite correct Rose - all you have to do is visit this page, HERE & you can see from the Widget.

    There was some discussion yesterday about a few players - up to 20 I believe - who had been wrongfully omitted from the Prio Prem Leaderboards on Days 1 & 2.

    I understand they have all been included now, & their points backdated as appropriate, & this will be reflected in the Prio Premiership Leaderboard when it is updated later today. Probably.

    Could somebody check that I am registered for League 1?  I thought I would have accumulated enough points to get on the leaderboard.

    Hi Bud,

    Can I suggest you wait until the Leaderboard Update goes up today, please?

    The Update today should clear up the issues of the first few days, & everyone should then have their correct totals shown.
    Some were omitted in error during the first few days, & these were NOT shown on the Leaderboard which went up this morning, & which was up until Wednesday.

    You OK with that? It should be up quite soon.

    You have not earned enough points for Top 10, but you are showing on the Leaderboard now.

    Hi Tony, could there be a list of how many points everybody got in the championship for yesterday? I made almost 2000 points and the league only added 5 points into my score. Did I finish 10th for the day?

    You didn't actually add any points LB. As you can see here - http://prntscr.com/d45vtg - when compared to todays table.

    There are many other glarring errors in todays (and potentially previous days) table values which is a bit worrying. It doesnt affect me as I wasn't going to challenge KingBowl this week but would be nice to have confidence in knowing the tables they publish are correct.

  • edited November 2016
    I should say for referrence I got 2333 points and got 15 league points, so it's possible you could have 0 league points but unlikely. Especially when there are such errors like Jermaine99's points dropping by 10, and kawaii420 getting 100 points in a day out of no where, amungst other mistakes.

    All that said, great prio promo sky!
  • edited November 2016
    Now this is strange...yeah it seems I only got 5 points over Sunday and Monday. And I'm pretty sure I'm a decent rake earner to at least finish in top 10 twice as I was in 3rd and I played a similar schedule all week. So I've gone on my account to double check how many points I made and now this is saying 'INFO_NOT_AVAIL' 

    I'm pretty sure my points are wrong.
