Nick, its Michael here. If your going up there PM me and l will come......

Don't forget! If the structure, clock & starting chips are decent, I'll be there.

all 45 minute clocks usualblind structures

shootout 4000  points

300   6000 points (they are thinkin of makin it more they will let me know boxin day


100 rebuy 2000

As this is a two day event, it should be at least 8000 chips and have a 150/300 level.

(imho of course)

agree with 150/300 but 6000 ok with 45 min levels
what is the seating capacity?

I agree Craig, 6000 is ok, but why settle for ok when you can have superb?

LOL never thought of that.  should have a free bar too ;)

160 runners

will know tommorow if starting chips are gona be 8000

Nick are they adding money or is that blarney.

adding 2000 to the shootout
adding 3000 to the 300

it cud be a complete flop or a big turnout , th locals are a bit weird you never seem to get everyone there at the same time , i  will find out tommorow th enumber of registrations ..

Nick do me a favour and buy me in for the Fri. Comp £300, left a pm for you. Is that a ranking event?

Who are Sponsoring the 2007 European Rankings?

Have not a clue Tony, l presumed Billy Hills but that must be under threat.

"Highly unlikely" I'd say........

Who was it before HILLS took up the mantle Tony.

I don't believe it had a sponsor pre Wm Hill, it was just run by PokerinEurope.com, who "run" &, I guess claim to "own" the Rankings.

 

why ask the question tony , ?  lo

i think someone else covered it in the inside edge thread....  there is only really one player of the year , and he doesnt show on euro rankings... 

says it all really.
if you talk to most of the sites , they are all cutting their cloth accordingly , they have made that initial push to get their site members and they are fairly clueless as to where they are going to increase their revenue streams......... typically british they will then look to chop costs inorder to keep their momentum towards protecting the shareprice.

it is no coincidence that the none of them seem to think outside the box,,  it will be interesting to see ,wHO, if any, get a full  years sponsorship (players that arent already sign4ed that is).


there are some class players out there this year with no deal........the problem we have in poker there is no alternate revenues to be gained through sponsorship,,   a footballer a golfer etc gets sponsored so the companies can sell their products.........

what does a poker player do ........  increase site awareness..........

the numbers of new memebers slow down so why should they spend 100 k sponsoring someone, thats what i mean by typically english ..  look at the   other sites like full tilt stars ub etc......

thats  why i think, and in fact hope, dtd bring a more commercial outlook and smashh the other sites, this will indeed , "up the antte" and get them to turn away from this sudden malaise they seem to find themselves in........

so to answer tk s loaded question ,,,,,,, idoubt hills will put money into it next year ........... 

oh and back to the real reason for the thread
 they will decide on the chipss for fridays 300 tommorow nite they are worried about getting 130 players  lol
m

no i will put it on the forum tommorow nite m8 .. ifthey get 100 for the shootout they are concrned about not finishing the friday final before the 100 rebuy on sat

red dog why did you take you  post out looks like im talkin to mesen

Sorry mate. I thought tomorrow was Friday, so my post didn't make sense either. Didn't realise you had replied.

is the shootout just 1st place from the table qualifies?

yes , they are anticipTING 10 TABLES 0F 10......... they have 23 runners by wednesday, they are exoecting a full house, i reckon they will get 40 60 .

Loaded question?

ME?

As if.

Whatever next? People reading between the lines?..........

Am still very linterested in the £300 Nick, but I'd wanna know the clock, &, more importantly, the blinds structure. (Does it include 75/150 &/or 150/300?).

Thanks.

What about the all important 30-60 and 250-500  ;ifm;

Behave, you.

OK, the clock, structure etc are here...
