Title: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: AlrightJack on September 12, 2005, 03:40:41 PM As many of you are aware Blue Square has been running weekly exclusive online qualifiers for the Grosvenor Grand Prix and will be doing so until Friday 7th October. After this we will replace the Grand Prix Qualifiers with weekly Super Satellites for Grosvenor Festival events. There are however a few different ways we could run them so I'm interested to hear opinions on which method would be prefered.
1. We could continue to run them as satellites for specific main events, eg Midland Masters, Blackpool Northern Lights package (includes some expenses) 2. We could run them as a choice of for example a Midlands Masters Package or a Northern Lights Package (the Northern Lights is a £1,000 event whereas the Midlands Masters is £1,500 so the Northern Lights package could also include the buy in to a £300/£500 event at the festival as well) 3. We could run them as a Grosvenor Festival Credits package. For the third option this could mean that if you win the package you can choose any festval events to use them for within a given timeframe and perhaps we could also extend this useage to non festival tournaments with a buy in of £300 or more, so they could be used for the monthly comps being run at various casinos as well. Thoughts and votes appreciated.

I really like the thinking behind options 2 or 3 I'm not able to make some weekends, so anything that gives me the flexibility to choose my event having qualified via a satellite is something I would very much welcome By the way, I only just signed up to BlueSq to play GGP qualifiers. I was impressed Title: Re: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: RED-DOG on September 12, 2005, 03:48:32 PM Tournament credits, great idea
Whose was it? Title: Re: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: AlrightJack on September 12, 2005, 03:49:04 PM mine of course, as was option 2...
Title: Re: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: tikay on September 12, 2005, 03:50:19 PM # 3 for me - what a brill idea AJ.
Title: Re: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: AlrightJack on September 12, 2005, 03:53:18 PM Gotta ensure its logistically possible if we do go down that route so there may have to be some restrictions - such as giving a certain number of days notice, events over £300 only, etc - to make sure its not going to be too difficult or time consuming to manage.
Title: Re: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: Ironside on September 12, 2005, 03:55:03 PM i like sats for indivaul events so that you could play a sat for a £500 support event at a festival or a different sat for the main event
Ps any word on blue square accepting neteller Title: Re: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: Gamblor21 on September 12, 2005, 03:56:25 PM 3rd or second for me john good idea!!!
I voted 3rd but second is good idea... At-iT Title: Re: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: RED-DOG on September 12, 2005, 03:56:43 PM I think they should be £1500 entry into so and so OR use the credits for another Grosvenor event (then prize isn't dependant on number of runners)
Title: Re: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: AlrightJack on September 12, 2005, 03:57:38 PM Ironside - its still being looked at apparently. Will let you know if I hear anything.

You could have Sats running all the time of differing values and a player can just save them up. For instance you could have a low cost Sat and a player could collect enough of these to play in a £5k Comp at the Vic or wherever.

Nah, you can do that by playing anything and saving the money Title: Re: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: RED-DOG on September 12, 2005, 04:02:02 PM We want the valooooooo
Title: Re: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: Robert HM on September 12, 2005, 04:03:04 PM Well if it were to credits perhaps there would be added value from sponsors

Will let you know if I hear anything. i have a better idea run them on ukbetting better stuture to there software (thought the connection is very flakey) Title: Re: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: Junior Senior on September 12, 2005, 05:29:30 PM i love the idea of number 3.
although would have to work out a way of notifying the casino or bluesq in advance of the events you want to use the vouchers for to avoid dissappointment if the event gets full! bravo - good innovation Title: Re: Online Qualifiers Poll Post by: redsimon on September 12, 2005, 05:33:36 PM Ps any word on blue square accepting neteller I haven't activated my real money account on BSq yet.
