So I can't say whether or not my previous negative review (less than 24 hours ago) had any impact on their decision or not....But I did email links to the review to management, and sure enough.....They listened.
Tournaments have gone back to $3k GTD and they have also introduced a cool new points leader board system for tournament players. They released a new tournament flyer yesterday effective immediately titled "WE LISTENED".
Kudos to Paul the TD for pushing our case and getting the word out fast that guarantees were back where they should be. They broke the 3k guarantee last night, and I'm sure it will continue to do so going forward. As I said previously Paul is a very nice guy and is trying his best. Thank you Zee for listening.
You've earned back my business.
