Thanks m8.

[tourney guy]

Don't you know it is your fault that you were originally given a day, and that that day is now booked, and it is better for Harrahs to give you another day???

How dare you complain that your flight will now have to be changed, and your cost, and hotel, at your cost, and loss of vacation time with your employer, at your cost!!!

That's disgusting. If the OP got the same confirmation email that the rest of us likely did, we can all confirm that NOWHERE in the email did it say that was the day we would *probably* get. If the OP's story is legit, and I have no reason to believe it isn't, Harrah's sucks for the following reasons:

1) Allowing players to choose their own days - this isn't necessarily an egregious problem, except that...
2) What seems to have happened is that Harrah's did not monitor the registration; one day (in this case, 1A) is now severely under-populated, necessitating day-changes for those who were ALREADY CONFIRMED to start on other days.

Seemed to work in another thread.
Two magic words when dealing with Harrah's staff.

Holy crap.. With the number of idiots (IQ >80) heading towards the WSOP with mixed up starting dates, this has the potential of disaster written all over it..

I can just see about 700 people showing up on day 1D and finding out they were suppose to play on day 1A and they aren't allowed to play in it.

LVPD Riot Squad better be on high alert.

[billyb]

why they let anyone choose thier starting day is beyond me.
since the early ones got to choose and the late ones get screwed.

peace

Then after numerous nasty emails tro them i recieved this one stating my day was changed back, WTF is up with this people

Your day has been changed back. Since the playing field has been
leveled out, we have reopened the other days and was able to accommodate
you to Day 4. The reason for the days to be closed was to bring the
playing field level so we did not have one day with more players than
the other. Day 1 was the one that did not have enough players in it and
we were forced into registering people to that day so the numbers were
brought up.

Now that the fields have been leveled, we were able to reopen the other
days.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.



Atleast everthing is straightened out but man this made my week [censored] horrible

I talked to a guy tonight who just arrived from Australia thinking he was starting Day 1C and found out they switched him to 1A. He is rolling with it but would have liked to get over the lack of sleep and jet lag before playing.
