j2k99 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 All the qualifiers should begin on Monday March 27th.Hi FCP. Well, I won a stage 2 ticket ($50+4) from the $6+1 qualifier. My question is: I can use that ticket to any of the scheduled $50+4 qualifier anytime, correct? One more question, do the $50+4 qualifiers fill up? how many entrants per day? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

ThanksHi j2k99, yes you have some time to choose which qualifier to use your ticket in. There is an expiry date on your ticket but it should be at least 60 days away. If you want me to confirm the exact expiry date e-mail me at info@fullcontactpoker.com or PM me here in the Forum with your account information and I'll check it out for you.The $50+4 qualifiers so far have had fairly small fields so far but are increasing every day. The one at 2:00 PM today had 11 entries.Good Luck Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Big Mike, nobody has bought directly in as of yet to the Classic since you won't be able to do that until close to the tournament time. I'm not sure how many players have qualified through the Sit and Gos but the final level for the scheduled qualifiers go on Saturdays at 3PM ET and today will be the third one and at least one player has qualified each week so far.To change your poker screen name contact the FCP support team directly and they can assist you with that.

troyomac 0 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I'm thinking of trying to qualify through the STT steps.... buy playing a bunch of level 1's...then a bunch of level 2's, then any level 3's I may have. My question is, if I qualify more than once, do I get the cash, or do I lose out by doing it this way? Link to post Share on other sites

flintsword 4 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 A suggestion. When you sign in, there is the "Poker Classic" popup with the hyperlink for more information.It would be a good idea to have the lobby open on the Poker Classic qualifier page. This is done by a number of other sites for the special promotions and an inoffensive promotional wrinkle. Link to post Share on other sites
