FTPA Challenge Round 2 Ticket ????

This ticket appeared in my FTP cashier today. Any idea what it is and what I can use it for?

I'm guessing for the FTPA Challenge Round 2 Freeroll

FTPA = full tilt poker Academy is my guess.

No idea what it's for

Maybe the FTPA 5k Freeroll Sit and Learn one ?

Why would it be Round 2 though?

it looks like it is some type of new series. The $5,000 Sit and Learn tournment is not there right now. maybe this replaced it.

Here is the information for the tournment:

You must have taken one of the tests?

Not sure about the FTPA one but the ME Finals ticket can be earned a few ways, but you most likely got it for earning 3K FT points in a week.

I doubt Belgo did anything through the academy, looks like a bonus gift/second chance ticket for a good customer. Could be wrong...and don't know what its value is/how many other entrants there will be.

I got one as well - I reckon you get one if you finish a certain number of Academy challenges or something.

They can be used in Tournaments -> Series. It's on Saturday (round 2)

Have you taken any academy tests, Pascal? I think it would be for passing the tests, not completing the challenges. Oh, it is called "FTPA challenge round 2" I guess it could be something new, only had seen freerolls associated with the tests before. fwiw, I've completed 20+ challenges, most of them multiple times. Usually atleast one/week and I have no ticket - I've never taken a test.

yeah, that one I knew. 3k points per week indeed. Took part in the tournament yesterday night. Busted after 2 hours or something like that. I hate tournaments...

Not sure i'll use the next tickets i'll get, tbh. Those tournies are pretty late for Europeans on a Sunday night, and they're not really freerolls since the overlay is deduced from MGR.

Never did any sit'n'learn, but i did complete quite a few cash challenges. Whenever I remember about it I check out the FTPA and find out I completed the last one I selected, so I repeat and forget about it again.

I haven't taken a test in a long time, but I have taken a couple previously to get into the freerolls I think it's something new, I mean, with the new ticket system they seem to be trying lots of new stuff

There's some main event tie in with the FTPA.
Look at tourney id#:156503571
FTPA Main Event Challenge Round 1

ye i got one so looks like im in the freeroll yayyyyy lol

just to clear things up, you got the ticket for completing a full tilt challange any round two ticket is given for that, after you beat a sitn learn you also get a ticket, but for round 1
