Title: Glasgow festivals Post by: mikkyT on August 22, 2005, 10:47:46 AM Two festivals coming up in Glasgow, the latter being a ranked event.
Riverboat poker festival 5th-9th Oct (just announced and flyers are in production, so I don't know what they are calling it, just saw the rough hand written draft of the schedule last night). Main event will be a £250 hold-em held over two days, Saturday and Sunday. The usual run of satellites etc. Winter Festival at Stanley Berkeley. This is the follow up to their summer tournament, and this time it will be ranked. I think Starsky-dog came second in that one?

I'll hopefully get more information from Michelle tonight - but it's bingo night so she may be a bit busy. As far as I know its going in the next Poker Europa issue in the schedule section, but as usual they've left it a little late.

Look for the familly sized Rico Annoni. Title: Re: Glasgow festivals Post by: Ironside on August 22, 2005, 03:46:45 PM first is the riverboat £250 a freezeout
2nd how can th stanleys event be ranking its there first year? 3rd how can the european ranking spoonsor by william hills include ranking events that are not wheelchair accessable Title: Re: Glasgow festivals Post by: mikkyT on August 22, 2005, 05:01:23 PM first is the riverboat £250 a freezeout 2nd how can th stanleys event be ranking its there first year? 3rd how can the european ranking spoonsor by william hills include ranking events that are not wheelchair accessable I don't know, I'm just going on what was printed in the Poker Europa mag. Stanleys may have had a festival in previous years... I know the Riverboat can't host a ranked event because they missed out a festival last year or something like that. I believe it will be a freezeout, yes. Although I can confirm for you once I have been tonight. I doubt Riverboat would be inventive enough to do anything like double chance freezouts or limited rebuys and or topups with more chips than the original allotment. Title: Re: Glasgow festivals Post by: Ironside on August 23, 2005, 01:28:19 PM last november you mechelle ran a double chance freezeout in the festival, and this is atleast the 2nd year of the festival as i was there last year
stanleys didnt have a festival last year as the event they held last month was the first in about 4-5 years if the 250 is a freezeout or a double chance or single rebuy tell michelle i'll be down Title: Re: Glasgow festivals Post by: mikkyT on August 23, 2005, 01:31:45 PM last november you mechelle ran a double chance freezeout in the festival, and this is atleast the 2nd year of the festival as i was there last year stanleys didnt have a festival last year as the event they held last month was the first in about 4-5 years if the 250 is a freezeout or a double chance or single rebuy tell michelle i'll be down Michelle wasn't in last night so I couldn't get the proposed structure, but Thomas told me that it wasn't yet set in stone. I had printed a copy of the Stanleys event list, which he took a photocopy of ready for the meeting later in the week. So who knows, they may yet copy... :D But the card room isn't big enough for 140 players. He does tell me they will be using the outside area as well but he's not sure if management will let them move the slot machines. Title: Re: Glasgow festivals Post by: Ironside on August 23, 2005, 01:36:28 PM stanleys card room is big enough for 20 tables at a sqeeze i would say 14-16 in comfort (or it was last month) but i wont be playing in stanleys as i now know it's not wheelchair accessable,
the riverboat is a lovely place with free valet parking and working lifts the card room is small and cramped but they also give you a free meal during the first break think PIE and the euro rankings need to change the ranking event from stanleys to the riverboat IMHO Title: Re: Glasgow festivals Post by: Ironside on October 02, 2005, 07:06:53 PM anyone got any details on the riverboat festival if i am coming down for a comp i need to know whats being played,when and how long
