OFC, Cardschat, pacific,freeroll queary??

Good day folks,,does anyone have this answer for me,
Played an OFC freeroll representing Cardschat and Canada on Pacific poker on Jan 4th. I guess Canada did ok cause I got an invite to play pacific in a Canada only freeroll on Jan 20th, top 5 paid, 1st $60 - 5th $12, as we got down to about 26 players I was in 7th place, we all got disconnected and the tourny cancelled, they put $7.04 in my account and basically said cya soon, has anyone had this happen to them and maybe why?? I know I got some cash but I think there are 25 other players about as pleased as I am.
Cheers and thanks

Usually if something happens on the site that affects the play (server breakdown etc.) depending on the sites rules - you will often get back your buy-in, or a calculated sum from the prize pool.

Of course the already knocked out players will miss out as they had already left the building

Congrats on the placing

Same thing happened to me, Drummer. I played for CC and the UK, and also got an entry to a prize freeroll on the same day as yours.

The server crashed in mid-game, and the prize pool was divided among all players still in the game. That`s usually how poker rooms deal with a major equipment failure, and I guess that is what happened with everyone playing in any of the tournies that were running when the crash happened.

I copied this from Pacific Poker`s House Rules:


"Disconnection Policy


While rare, the potentiality of a Server crash exists at every Internet Website and in every Internet application. In the extremely unlikely event of a Server crash, at Pacific Poker, all Poker hands in progress are automatically cancelled from the point at which the Server crashed and Members were disconnected. A Member who is disconnected in the middle of a hand due to a Server crash will be automatically refunded the amount of their Chips, both in and out of play, at the table. This amount will be returned to their Pacific Poker Bankroll.

In the event that a Poker Tournament is cancelled, while in progress, the remaining prize pool will be split evenly between the remaining Members, regardless of their present chip count. "

Thanks for the info,, it's nice to know we made the same as the first place guy LOL
