Stars has STEPS SNGs to the PCA

[MicroBob]

yeah, somehow I doubt they're going to allow that but I'm not really sure.

I assume that you get W$ at the final-level if you win more than one package.

What's going to happen if you are "stuck in the steps" somewhere when the promotion ends?

Anyone seen any fine print.

The key question is if i have like a dozen different tickets when this promo ends, what happens? Do i get the cash/W$ equiv or what?

[MicroBob]

that's the $64,000 Q.
Party handled that really badly and vaguely on their steps. One assumes that Stars will be somewhat more organized about this no matter what they do be it W$ or cash or equivilent tix for future steps of the EPT or WSOP variety or whatever.

edit:
follow up thought - if they do it as cash or W$ then conceiveably I could consider cleaning up at whatever level I'm comfortable with and just hording about 50 winning tickets and then waiting for the end of the promo to get the cash.
something like that anyway.
Not sure I would want to do that. And I certainly wouldn't try to do that without knowing for certain ahead of time what happens to the tickets after the qualification period is over.

also should be noted that there is practically no 'if' about this for many players. Obviously there should be plenty of leftover tickets out there.

From their website:

Important notes:

1. PCA Steps tickets are valid only for entry into PCA Steps tournaments.
2. PCA Steps tickets are not transferrable to other players.
3. PCA Steps tickets are not redeemable for cash or any other value.

You can check your balance of PCA Steps tickets via the PokerStars main lobby. Click “Requests” in the top menu bar and select “Tournament Tickets” to see your ticket inventory.

I think I'm going to need some clarification before I play any of these.

[Skipbidder]

They say that:
PCA Steps tickets are valid only for entry into PCA Steps tournaments.
PCA Steps tickets are not transferrable to other players.
PCA Steps tickets are not redeemable for cash or any other value.
This suggests that you are screwed if you are holding tickets when the thing ends.

They do explicitly say that if you win more than one seat, you get paid W$11,000 plus $1000 cash for additional seats.

I don't think I'll play unless they may it clear that I get tournament credit for tickets left over at the end.

[MicroBob]

I'm comfortable dorking around with 1 at a time.
But yeah, there's no way I'm going to leave myself with more than 1 leftover ticket until i find out what happens at the end. It doesn't seem to be covered in any of their fine-print stuff.

That happened to me on Party. I was on the last step of the $100k steps when they cancelled it. I got the cash value. I assume the same will happen here.
