Mil. Best Poker site down?

Im qualified for the 500 person freeroll for a WSOP ME seat. As soon as the clock hit 4:00est (start time) the whole site crashed on me and will not load.

Yeah this sucks...

Same here. I got to the tournament page about 3:50, then when it was time to check-in at 3:55 everything just went haywire. Just getting the "Page cannot be displayed" error for the past 1/2 hour.

Last week I got booted about an hour into the practice tournament then couldn't get back in. Doesn't bode well for their promotion.

Dear Qualifier,

The reason you have not been able to get into the tournament today is because of problems on our end.

We join you in being terribly disappointed by today's events.

The tournament will be rescheduled and your qualification remains valid. At this point, our technicians are working with the servers and will soon make a determination as to what happened and when the tournament will commence.

It may start later tonight or later in the week. Please be patient as we make a determination.

We are terribly sorry but assure you that this tournament will restart and that the promotion will continue for the next five weeks.

Did you email support and get that as a response? I haven't heard anything from them.

It would be nice if they gave more than a couple hours notice for rescheduling.

nah, rez is just one of 3 people who got in and is trying to distract us while he auto-raises against the post and fold'rs. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I emailed them 45 minutes ago and that was their response. Looks like we'll have to wait and see what happens.

I emailed them and just received the same reply with one difference:

"Please be patient as we make a determination when to restart this tournament. We will contact you in about an hour."

Did anyone who did not first email them about this receive an email from them?

who are you emailing?

I replied to the check-in reminder (poker@milbestlight.com), and got the same thing as bigbluffer.
