I am with Pointman as well. You can't advertise something as a "guarantee", get worried it's not going to reach said number, then pull it. I don't care what the external forces were, poor decision on their part.

And I played the sequence yesterday and I'm going to Del Mar today so it's not that I'm anti-DMR.

I neither agree nor disagree with what they did. Just explaining why they did. They faced something that they didn't foresee, and acted how they thought best. In having dealt with something new, they'll know in future they can still reach the guaranteed amount. And since they still got over 600k, I don't know why it matters.
I figure they'll make sure to have language in place in case it ever happens again
