With the roll forward, we do not keep the vig. In your credit email, there should be a line reading:

"Your entry fee refunded:"

which is the refund of the vig.

You guys are a victim of your past performance and reputation:

I haven't gotten emails for the sng's I was in. I am correct in assuming they are still being worked out and I should stop being so impatient?

mtts are being rolled forward

What exactly does this mean?

Did you even read the link? All remaining people in a tourny split 50% of the cash, and then the other 50% is split according to stack size i think (if not stack then current place). I think I just got like $50 for being 15/35 in a $10 180

Just had never heard the term "rolled forward" before. I know how they divide up the prizepool based on chips/entrants.

So I was in the $27.50 - 18K guaranteed and only 50 or so people were registered. It had not started and the message was that it would be "rolled forward." I am getting paid for that bad boy?

For example, just got this mail

Dear Nonfictional,

Tournament #51202666 has been cancelled due to technical reasons.

When a tournament is cancelled before players are in the money, we refund
each player their tournament fee, and then divide up the prize pool based
on the following formula:

- 50% of the award pool distributed evenly between remaining players
- 50% of the award pool distributed proportionally according to the chip
count

At the time of cancellation there were 30 player remaining, and your chip
count was 9,350. Total chips in play were 270,000.

Prize pool to be divided equally: $1,800.00/2 = $900.00
Prize pool to be divided based on chip count: $1,800.00/2 = $900.00

Your share in money equally divided: $900.00/30 = $30.00
Your share based on chip count: $900.00 x (9,350/270,000) = $31.16
Your entry fee refunded: $1.00
Total money refunded to your account: $62.16

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Sorry, I missed that line and basically only read the formulas at the end of the email, which did not include the vig. Thanks and my apology.

Only reason i'm so antsy is that my wife is gone and that is the only time i can play poker since she gets mad when i lose money

Ah, the foundations of a great marriage.

Ponder on the reason why you equate playing poker to losing money and there you may find a solution to this dilemma.

An inside source told me the server in charge of the game rigging had a hardware failure, and the backup rigging server failed to startup properly. Should be back to normal now at 100% rigging capacity.
