Hello, the reason for making this post is that I feel a recent contest was managed very poorly. It resulted in the standings being incorrect and p5s refusing to fix it.
here is the contest https://www.pocketfives.com/contest/partypoker-points-race-leaderboard-canada-apr-2017/signup/
As most people are aware, there is a delay in scores registering on p5s from party and other sites. The contest says at the end of the day on April 30th the prizes will be awarded. This concerned me that the last few days of the contest might not register in time, so I emailed them about it on April 24th.

He says that prizes will not be awarded until atleast the 3rd of May to account for this - implying all scores from April will count, which would make sense.
On May 1st the leaderboard got locked in without completion (the same standings and scores still visible in the contest link) On May 2nd I email back about missing scores

On may 8th I receive a reply: https://gyazo.com/040bb22b4a33da2f5b72f374595fb63a

He mentions for some reason scores from April 30th were not added but hes added them in a spread sheet and has done the tallies in there, but I still come up short - coming in 2nd place. he also mentions 1 score cant be added because it was from before i opted in - no worries about that, understandable.
I email back after reading the email, saying that there are still 2 scores missing (2 of the same scores I mentioned were missed when I emailed the first time)

after reading and sending that email, I logged into party poker and saw the 2nd place reward , I emailed them back saying i hope it can be changed.

he simply said the standings will not be changed.
I email back explaining my frustrations

Now he says he understands my frustration but it was decided to not count scores from April 30th? ..... what? ( hes already emailed me back previously stating that he added my scores from April 30th in the spreadsheet) the only problem was he missed 2 of them. Also, why would you not count the last day of the contest? especially after I already asked about it in an email and he said it would count.
its also worth mentioning that even if he didn't add the tournament that started on April 30th and ended on May 1st, but added both the tournaments that ended on April 30th, I still would have had enough points.

I haven't received a reply since then so now I am left posting on the forum
