[TIME # EVENT BUY IN]

Hi All,

We are looking for feedback on the tourney schedules for UKIPT.  There is some interesting discussion happening about what we should be offering, for how much, etc...  I've already been asked about High Rollers, Heads Up, HORSE, 8 Game, PLO, etc...

What are your thoughts?  If a High Roller, what buy in?  1K? 1.5K? 2K? 3K? 5K?  HORSE or 8 Game?  PLO or NLH/PLO?  PLO8?

Also, since I haven't seen an official Galway Thread, here is the schedule...sats started today at Pokerstars...

[Tightend]

Hi All,

Tightend - 33 - Anytime you need me

W4SP - 36 - Apologies for the delay, hope you got it sorted.  You would have been assigned a day.

Gatso - 32 - The initial entry on both Day 1A and 1B will be juiced.  We have however changed so that players who cash 1A, but do NOT make the final 16, can play Day 1B.

Cheers All,

[Mouth]

Hi All,

Mouth - #30 - There were 119 players for the Ladies Event last year in London and I expect an equally strong showing at this years events.  We have expanded the offering to be three events (£100 Super, £500 Main, £200 Side).  We also ran online qualifiers for the Ladies Main Event.  The structures can be found here... http://www.europeanpokertour.com/tournaments/structure/side_events/ladiesonly/

£100 Re Entry Event -

There have been a number of questions about the £100 + £10 + £10 Charity Event next weekend at EPT London so I wanted to provide a quick explanation.

1. This is a “Re Entry” Event, not a Re Buy Event. The difference is, in a rebuy event, you simply hand the dealer or floor person another buyin when you bust, the dealer gives you another stack and you stay in your seat and keep playing. For a “Re Entry” Event, once you bust, you must get up, go to the registration desk, buy in again and you will be given an entirely new seat with a fresh stack.

2. The INITIAL buy in is £100 + £10 + £10 with £10 going to charity. All of the “Re Entries’” are £100 + £10 with the £10 going to charity. There is no admin fee on the “Re Entries” for Day 1A or Day 1B. There is an Admin Fee on your INITIAL entry on Day 1A and Day 1B.

3. There will be eight levels of late registration. Players can register until the start of Level Nine. The levels are 25 minutes long.

4. You may “Re Enter” as many times as you like on either day 1 until the start of Level Nine. The only players prohibited from playing on Day 1B are all players who cashed on Day 1A. Once you have cashed this Event, even if you were eliminated after your cash, your tournament is completed.

5. The structure is available at http://www.europeanpokertour.com/tou...events/london/

6. Each Day 1 will play down to the final two tables (16 players) and those players will return for Day 2.

7. Each Day 1 will pay 10% of its field down to 16 players.

Example -

a. Day 1A – 496 players, Day 1B – 705 players.
b. 10% rounded in 8 handed tables = Day 1A pays 48 and Day 1B pays 72
c. Day 1A – from 48 to 17 will be paid X, Y and Z
d. Day 1B – from 72 to 17 will be paid X, Y and Z
e. Day 2 – 16 players from 1A and 16 players from 1B return, all in the money and play down to a single winner
f. Day 2 – Play begins at the earliest level between 1A and 1B. If 1A stops on Level 15 and 1B stops on Level 18, play resumes at Level 15 time from Day 1A.

Any other questions, please let me know.

Cheers,

Neil
