    Default Gauntlet

    Just wondering if any of the regs in this forum are going to take part in the gauntlet this year?

    Tai, I notice you weren't in it last year, how come?

    Are you entering this year?

    ^^^ this. I'd love to play but I'm usually at work when they run. Goes for all the freerolls and other events too

    I get into VIP freerolls on Everest because of my VIP status. They all run at 3am my time

    Aren't there enough Aussies to justify another game each week at a diff time? Maybe a sunday evening for you guys, which would be Sunday morning for us euros.

    I know, I know, I'm putting this in the wrong forum really, but you guys would have more clout to get another game thrown in.

    There aren't as many of us as you might think...we're used to being the handmaidens of the US and Europe.

    You don't feel like playing poker at 5am?

    5am would almost be doable. Most of them take place in the evening US time which means mid-morning to noon Sydney time.

    Really? I was being sarcastic but the Euro-centric version (3pm ET on Sundays) would be at 5am Sydney time on Monday, I believe.

    A little coffee, a scone and Gauntlet?

    Muesli and a strong cup of tea for me! Still 5am is probably pushing it to be honest...

    I may play some of them, I cant play the Wed ones and can play the Sunday ones about once every 2 or 3 weeks

    The free-rolls are too late for me. I think the last one started at 3am my time, and that's too late for me. I to be I need to bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to open a can of whip-ass.

    Not too sure what time GMT the Gauntlet games start???

    It sucks that the timing is bad for the Aussies but I am certainly not going to complain about being able to avoid Tai and Bjs in these.

    It's probably moving to two "Sunday" games, one at 7pm GMT and one which would end up being between 1am and 2am GMT on Monday morning. This would be Sunday 3pm and 9-10pm for the Eastern Time Zone.

    . I may just be able to fit in some reg-2-reg love at the 7pm game. Do you have register for the gauntlet, or just individual games?

    you register for the Gauntlet league which then gives you access to the passwords as they become available.

    Yea, if he could have played in just 3-4 more games he probably would have won. Luckily for me though he didn't.

    Cool, looking forward to playing on the tables with some of you guys. When do these kick off? (approximately).
