Poker Grump readers' tournament: Update

Bah! As the initial email from Full Tilt had suggested, I had them slightly modify the tournament request, just to include this web address in the comments section of the tournament lobby, so that anybody browsing the private tournament list could see where to go to learn more.

Little did I know that making that change required them to dump the whole tournament and institute a new one:

**********************

Hello,

Thank you for your e-mail and tournament request. I have updated your private tournament comment as you requested in your e-mail below and it is open for registration at this time. In order to locate your tournament, click the "Private" tab in the tournament lobby.

Please be advised that the 3 players registered for your initial tournament id have had their buy-in & fee automatically returned to their player accounts.

Thank you and Good Luck!

So the other two of you who had already registered, like me, have had your registrations cancelled, and now you have to do it again. I'm sorry about that--had I known, I would have just left it alone.

There's a learning curve to everything in life.

I also figured out why the prize pool shown is greater than the one entry fee. The minimum number of players with which they'll start the tournament is two, so the prize pool will have to be at least $40.
