DTD £500 Deepstack: £500,000 Guaranteed: blonde sweats

[CHIPPYMAN]

Is this a reentry comp?

[TightEnd]

I understand that is the case yes, though further details have to be released

I am told 50,000 starting chips, WSOP Main blinds structure 45 min clock Days 1 and 2, hour clock day 3 (for the final, basically)

Looks like it will be a stunning comp.

Tournament sounds great although not sure why the re entry cant be on the same day especially if people are travelling or cant make the other start days ........ 1 re entry per day same as the deepstack sounds better

+1 espically as there could be players that could only make saturday etc so would like to fire two bullets on saturday

[aaron1867]

Yeah, re-entry should definitely be on the same day, like others said, it's definitely a hassle.

£560 + expenses
£560 + expenses

Players are facing extra expenses because you can't re-enter!

I think Simon will re-think this.

Really hope its re-entry on the same day-  to travel 4 hours and busto early with no chance of a 2nd bullet would probably mean more accomodation costs

ohhhhhh my. Amazing.

In relation to the re-entrees, payouts ect. Sorry if it is long!

Firstly, Re-entry on the same day I reckon is a must. Especially the guys within the 1-3 hour travel bracket, which I'm guessing is 60% of the field.
After busting first bullet, sometimes you just cannot be arsed to drive back the next day or spend money on petrol, hotels etc (see my second point below). But, having the reentry will put more money in the prizepool! Increased numbers and bigger pots as the online qualifiers, distant travellers and others, are more willing build a pot to get it in with a sicko draw, rather than hit first then ship. If they can use a second bullet, they sigh..have a ciggy, sigh again and buy in again.

Secondly, I know its better marketing wise to see £200k/£300k top prize and make the headlines.
But from a customer point of view, for tournaments that are 2-5 days, making only 1.2 on investment is sometimes disappointing. Only as it doesn't cover expenses - Petrol, Hotels, Food, Drinks, and occasional spews on roulette or that stupid Pharaohs Fortune!

People nit up stupidly and ruins the play and momentum of the tournament.. look I know this payment structure is pretty standard across the European board, but this is why play is so slow pre and post bubble. People want to make there money back. For a £500 buy in, I don't see a problem with min cash being £900-£1000. Just chop it off the top. This is general feedback from a majority of non-regular players I have asked. YES, I know the bubble and play before will last longer, but the better players left will take advantage of it, leaving the nitty guys less space later on in the torney. It would give more play from 2 tables to the final. No 3BigBlind limp/fold player on the final and no guy with 9bigs set mining with deuces, who wants to bag his £900 jump up.

Honestly, I am not fused either way. I will adhere to any changes DTD make. But generally, the Non-Regs (unqiue hits) are dropping, causing the total numbers to drop and guarantees to drop and still not be hit. There isn't much money about. It just shows with the tournaments at the moment; £20 comps getting more runners than a super £50. Super £50 sometimes getting more than a £150 DS etc.

Its about general value. And lately, people just don't wona put up the dollar.

[istrabraq]

Sounds great much better value then gps like the idea of every 3 months gives you time to save for event .
