hi,

Thx for all the feedback. of course, we dont expect 720 runners for Feb, 500 will do just fine but our monthly deepstacks have been generally finishing late since we moved the start time of day 2 to back to 2pm from 12pm, so its not just this deepstack that I was referring to (this move back to 2pm on day 2 was for the benefit of our dealers to get plenty of sleep after working a late night saturday dealing cash games etc). we will have a chat next week and look at the feedback on here.

Few replies to questions on here;

- the next Grand Prix is in mid march
- next Chip Leader will be..erm....ask Nick
- we changed the £300 to £500 as a one off last Jan and we ended up getting into a mess with all the clashes, in 2012 we did £200, £150 and £500, there wasnt a lot of consistancy which was a mistake
- breaks have been reduced accross all comps including the Deepstack, we got caught a little this weekend with the 50% above than planned attendance so the breaks would have been a bit skewed depending on staff
- we only did 1 live sat because many of our regs get irritated when we cancel the normal evening comps, hard to keep every happy
- initially elec cigerettes were banned at DTD and we got LOADS of flack because other venues allowed them, hard to win on this issue

Lets see what time this finishes, we are over the moon with the runners but people that know us will know we want things to be as perfect as possible and a final table starting at 11.30pm is not perfect for anyone, but of course, not a lot needs to change and the world will go on even though we will have a late finish tonight

Cheers Rob
