Frankie says relax you've nothing to worry about so you've nothing to worry about.

With there being no re entry it might be a bit tight but had you allowed re entries then you would have needed a bigger club.

FRIDAY DAY 1C WILL SELL OUT TODAY - 24 SEATS LEFT

If you can only play Friday, please buy-in ASAP through DTD Shop or PokerStars Client

If you have a seat for Friday, and live locally and can play Thursday or Wednesday, please change (eg. Mr Gascoigne)

If you buy-in and then win a satelitte, we will of course REFUND YOU.

Cheers Rob

What is the number of players to sell out and how many alternates are you expecting to squeeze in?

[robyong]

What is the number of players to sell out and how many alternates are you expecting to squeeze in?

To sell out need 450 a day = 1350 + 80 alternates = £1M GTE.................so tight as you can ever be........., got 750 so far total, its a 1 hour clock with 15k chips, plus a lot at stake, so i would expect 25-35 alternates, at the end of say, ill deal myself in the car park if I have to, but may not get that one past Stars

[BorntoBubble]

Just out of interest rob why is their no re entrys? i think (if you had more chairs) with re entry and the brand of someone like stars you could have hit 2k runners/ push 1.5 million obviously 1 million is the guarentee and the pool isent going to get much bigger then that due to space limiatations as well as lack of players!

ive still not binked my seat yet so you can add one more to your list

[smashedagain]

Are we to assume that the side event places are going to be very limited too?

I think these tables are also going to have to be in the car park...

Can i suggest a nandos side event we could do 4 max tables in nandos winner of a £5 sit and go gets the full platter?

I'm not Rob but I believe that no re-entries is a UKIPT rule. I'm pretty sure none of the other venues are re-entry as well.

Yeh i think your right and seeing as most DTD comps are now re entry i cannot see why DTD would not want to do it so can only assume it has come from stars

[smashedagain]

Now that Friday is sold out I can't see there being any seats left for Thursday bythis weekend tomorrow having now seen the post below. Ihope you  smash the granny out of this and start wishing you had 4 starting days. Gl
