Getting into a freeroll

For any tournament that fills up quickly (like the 100$ freerolls) whenever the button comes up to say register now i click on it and nothing happens so i click again and it says im unregistered. How come it never tells me im registered and then automatically unregisters me. Shouldn't there be a button that says "Are you sure you want to un-register?"

there is no button that says are u sure u want to unregister...however when you do register for a tournament...a popup comes up saying you are now registered in this tournament....sounds to me like you may be double clicking on accident so your registering and than unregistering.

it sounds like it's at full tilt, because that happened to me alot the few times i tried to play the face the ace freerolls, them things fill up fast and i guess i don't have the fastest internet connection out there, but at least your able to see the registration button in time to register, just click 1 time and give it time to show your registered.

I'm clicking twice because it doesn't say that i registered and then it pops up and says i unregistered. I was just wondering why the don't impliment a button that asks if you really wanna unregister to prevent this kind of stuff from happening.

This is the same for me but I just press it once and it will definetly register. Sometimes it doesnt show straight away but trust me just click it once and it will work.

You can disable this message so it doesn't come up. I leave it enabled so I can't unregister by clicking twice.

at ftp...if the fr is starting an hour from the registration time...wait and watch the clock until it is saaay...59mins55/54/53 seconds...that's when the register button appears...click once quickly. you have to watch like a hawk. but it will show within those 3 seconds. that is, at least for me. sometimes there's only a 3-5 second window...yes, that is intense.

Doesn't the button change from "register" to "unregister"?

I always found getting on the FTP ones the hardest of most any site.

There were several keystokes you had to hit to do and finish the registration, and for me I only made it if I was early, fast, AND also typed ahead those keystrokes.
And I'm on good connection, good computer, in large metro area with good backbone.

But your mileage may vary!

just click really fast when the register button comes up and wait until it the button changes to unregister. theres so many people registering at the same time so you just gotta wait.

Exactly what I was about to respond. All that activity at one time slows everything down. Usually the 2700 man ones take about a minute to register. So be ready and just click once and you should be fine.

I meant to say about a minute to fill up. Now the Face the Ace ones about 2 seconds LOL. By far the easiest way to register for one of them is to open your SnG lobby and the 180 and 360 man ones will be at the top. They will say announced but you can open their lobbies and wait for the Register now button to appear. This should give you a slight edge on people that don't know this. GL on the felts.

Im pretty sure that there is no pop up telling you that you have been registered on Fulltilt. the only thing that happens is where it says register now it changes to unregister now.

You mut just click it once and hope u made it in time,u must be because if it says that u are unregestered,thn it is working.

It happened to me once where i clicked and after a few seconds nothing happened.I clicked again and it came u after a few more seconds,unregestered

Just trust your click the first time

DO NOT CLICK TWICE

This is correct. Just click once and wait. It does no good to click it again, in fact a second click can unregister you if you happen to catch it in transition.

I have played there a lot also, and I've never seen a pop-up like you say. I looked all through the options, and couldn't find a way to enable or disable this feature. How would you enable it, assuming you want to?
