Email showed that no one would be honored with a bracelet and it would not be counted towards their leadersboard. But perhaps even more important is that 1,100 players will be compensated for their investment, and the “players who draw cash in the event will maintain their prize money.” However, the description of how the award will be distributed to the pool is unknown.
While the online bracelet event was affected the most high-profile tournament on Monday, it was only one away. A ring event was also affected, as there was a complete slate of other tournaments. A resolution about those events was not mentioned in email and it is also unknown.
