I was able to connect easily at about 20 mins before start time.. only to find the tourney was full....

got this email latre that day...

Dear Poker Players,

GamesGrid apologizes to everyone who tried to play in today's Forum Challenge
Freeroll (FCF) only to encounter technical problems. Over 4,000 players and
observers logged in and the volume overwhelmed one of GamesGrid's
normally-reliable servers.

GamesGrid wants everyone to have a great poker experience, and this tournament
definitely wasn't that. The good news for players is, we will be inviting all
FCF players back to participate in a bigger, better and richer FCF.

Unfortunately the only way to do a true test with 4,000 people logged in from
around the world is to have 4,000 people log in from around the world. Now
that we know what can happen, we definitely want to fix it. We don't have all
the exact details yet, but we will be sending an invitation with the new time
and date as soon as everything is worked out. We just wanted to send you a
message immediately so you weren't left hanging any longer without
information.

Again, our apologies,
