These games are always fun. And, a winner every time.
It should have a final match with the top players from each country going at it for a final big prize!Try and get people to play as many events as possibleā¦love the site you guys ā¦keep up the good work!
I had a very hard time understanding the gamesā¦So much so that I just decided not to do them.
Guess I should win the Gold Medal for stupidity.
Where are the results of how the countries finished???

I didnāt play because to win tournaments here you usually have to play 14 hours a day, every day, just to stand a chance of winning any worthwhile amount of chips. The tournament system is also open to abuse from players who run 6 tables at a time, go all in consistently, and unless you too are willing to stoop to such tactics, youāll never win any significant number of chips. Iām just posting for a random shot at getting free chips.
The Replay Winter games seemed to be a big hit. A lot of players of all skill levels participated. I particularly liked the āfirst 7ā limit which allowed those with limited play time to have a chance to win. Making the tournaments available to all levels of players was great. Also the idea of incorporating several game types (holdem, royal, omaha, hi/lo) and ways of play (ring, SnG, MTT) was a stroke of genius. For me, one of the downfalls was the total tournament points games that skew toward those with the ability to play multiple tables at once and have a lot of time to commit to the tournament. While it was fun, the fact that it spanned two weeks, turned into a burdensome task to keep up at times.
Because of the Two Week Event I did not play any Games. Sounded like Fun-Maybe next time.
i loved it but did not play much i did win the only gold for Australia . i love playing for gold meddles maybe you should have a game every six hours and away free chips every month to the leaders ,
To all the folks that havenāt posted in a while, welcome back.
To all the first time posters, welcome!
A great event. I like the first 7 option for the SNG events, and think a similar idea should apply to the ring game events. My proposal is that there be three ring game events: (a) āfirst x hoursā of play, (b) āsingle table eventā and (c) the present format where people can play on multiple tables for 24 hrs if they want.
The single table event (b) would be: only one table at any time counts towards your total ring game points for this event. If you play two tables simultaneously both tables count towards events (a) and (c), while only the table you most recently started playing on counts towards event (b).
Event (a) Only ring game points count if earned in the first x hours of ring game play that day (as many tables as you want or perhaps also limit to one table at a time). x could be 4 hrs or 6 hrs or whatever.
I thought the games were great. There were a lot of participants and even if you canāt play all day there is something new to do. I liked the ring games. Itās hard to find an open omaha table normally. Top 7 scores were fun too. People were playing very conservatively, especially on play 7. Good job Replay.
I payed in the Hi/Lo and Royal tournaments and really enjoyed the experience and players. I am sorry I didnāt try playing any āWinter Gamesā. Next time!
The Winter Games provided me with a terrific time exposing me to a whole new assortment of ring game and Sit and Go formats that I would never even have considered trying before, by taking me out of my MTT comfort zone.
This was a great promotion that recognized the diversity of the nationalities of the people on this site and provided low priced exposure and experience with sufficient competitors , reduced wait times for games to populate and start in a timely manner rather than trial and error pitfalls of self discovery.
Thank You Replay, I am already looking forward to next years Games.

Seemed like a lot of games and Kinda confusing for two weeks. While many people enjoyed it I rested on sidelines.
I did not join because I was not aware if it (joined recently).
Anyway, I am looking forward for these kind of contests in the near future
