Yeah, I'm definitely considering it. I just have $$$ in my eyes. But I look at the roster that already has a dozen PS Pros in it, and with an 18k max field, I just know it'll be a humongous field that I'll have very little chance to cash in. Still, part of me wants to take the shot. I guess I've got awhile yet to decide.Unreg it for the T$ and use it for the smaller events
You have to play the event, no T$. Yea, I'll probably play a few of these starting with the $5.50 (50 seats added) starting in about an hour.
Can I then unregister from an event for which I've won a seat?
Yes. If you win a seat to a WCOOP event and then unregister from it, your account will be credited with T$ equal to the buy-in + fee of that event.
Unregistration will be available from the tournament lobby up until two minutes before the start of each event.
Note that this registration option applies to event seats won via satellite. Event tickets are not transferrable. Event tickets awarded via promotional tournaments must be used in that event or forfeited, as they have no value outside of the tournament to which they grant admission.
Maybe your satellite didn't have money added, and that's the difference? The overlay ones you have to play.
Not sure, it was an FPP buy-in with an FPP overlay, but I'm pretty sure the overlay was met. Also, I would think that would be pointed out in the FAQ about unregistering?Maybe your satellite didn't have money added, and that's the difference? The overlay ones you have to play.
