  3. League page says the tourney is at 8:00 pm. Is that 8 EST or something else?
     
  4. Are you in central time? I think it's showing based on your location. It says 9 pm for me

    Thank you for signing up for the P5s open. We hope you enjoy the event. We are up to 140 people with about 12 hours to go in registration time.
  15. 150 players now... We're pumped for the P5s Open tonight. Remember to claim your prizes in this thread. If you still need to sign up, you can do so here and you'll be automatically registered.
     
  16. We are up to 163 players now. I am going to try to make this, but might fall asleep before it starts since its at 4am my time. Best of luck getting the P5s Open badge and numerous prizes to everyone playing!
  17. Can someone please confirm for me that I'm registered for this tourney ? I just signed up for HWP through the link on this page via my cell phone and won't be home to download the software and start playing until after the tourney starts. Name on HWP is the same as here. Thanks in advance :)
     
  18. your currently registered for the tourny. Don't be too late sitters are removed after 15 minutes.
  19. 7headshots I see you as being registered.

    I'll also be putting a 5,000 hogbuck bounty on Adam.
  20. Lookin forward to this. The Kindle would be cool, but what Im really after is one of them hoodies!
     
  21. Signed up (trying to stay awake for it). Hoping to claim me a bounty prize cos I'm running out of hoodies.

    Was curious if we bust one of the bounty players and don't notice will they make a note of who busted them aswell?

    They should, however, they might not be able to put together player's HWP names to their P5s names since we do not have HWP listed in the P5ers profiles. It is best that you also take note of who the bounties are and claim in this thread if you knock one out.
  23. fit na ship dis
  24. good luck, im in
  25. weak sauce @ no late reg

  26. Damn, 20 minutes late and I got taken out. Lame.
  27. I really hate having to click to view your cards, so annoying
     
  28. Yeah it is kind of a bummer. You can pre-register days in advance and leave the client running and it'll alert you when the tournament starts.
  29. Well finished 155th so I suppose I get a free hoodie? Thanks to P5's! What do I have to do to select size and give my address to send to?
  30. Congrats to UNCGPoker on knocking me out! t-shirt or hoodie coming your way. Make sure to get in touch with P5s Support to claim your prize
