4PM START FOR BB3 COMPETITION ON 9TH SEPTEMBER

As the title says, we have decided to begin the main competition at bb3 at 4pm in consultation with the Grosvenor Walsall
Why have we done this?
Well it looks like we are going to get anywhere from 150-200 runners and we want to avoid very quick clocks/crapshoot type poker
A recent Walsall Saturday comp with 120 runners started at 6.30pm and finished just in time for the earlyish Sunday morning close
We wondered about having the final on the Sunday afternoon at 3pm but were mindful that some people may not be able to stay that long or indeed may not be booking hotel accomodation
So an early start with the usual blonde bash good clock and good starting chips seemed to us the better option than making it a two dayer or starting it at say 7pm and making the whole thing a rush
We hope this gives enough notice to those travelling from afar.
The comp will start at 4pm prompt...Yogi Blackpool style...!
Any questions, just fire away

What time do you reckon I should aim to get to the casino to get membership/registration sorted?

Membership at the front desk is a 5 minute job, registration into the comp is a 1 minute job...longer if everyone leaves it to the last minute and there are queues
Allowing time for a quick hello to people I would say be there by 3.30pm at the latest so its not a rush

I'm up for that, why don't you start a thread and people who can get down for 2pm-3pm can have a crack?

Not that I am aware of
Casino opens at 2pm I believe
Early STTS etc should be fine, self deal
Walsall are providing 15 dealers at 4pm. Any tables above that we self deal until tables break

Tighty, I would check with J10 to see if they intend to open early for BB3. When I used to play the 4:15 rookie comp on Saturdays the casino opened around 3:30 but that was only for the cardroom. If there are 100+ new members to be processed before 4 it will take ages to process everyone as they only have 2 registration desks (and only 1 camera I think). The link below allows anyone to pre register for membership of J10 which may speed things up.

If you are a member at one Grosvenor Casino, are you a member at all? I seem to recall signing up for one in Reading a few years ago when we went out for the night. I've never had a card but I must be on the old database eh !
Also, do we need to bring id or anything to sign up? It's been so long that I've been to a casino, I can't remember!

Who's gonna be running it if it starts at 4pm prompt. Yogi, Blackpool style?? I'm not there.
You can't put Dani and Zac under that pressure, not sure if the boys are up to it.
Only joking boys, wish i could be there, but its in a Grosvenor and they won't let me in for a few years yet, so I'm led to believe.
Hope you all have loads of fun.
See u Bb4

you need passport or driving licence photo id if you are going to a casino for the first time
doesn't matter if you are a member of another Grosvenor
