can you guarantee that all the tournaments will run without a hitch?

p.s. if you are going to ask for thoughts maybe a few more details may help like what the buy in is for the main satellite, how many satellites and super-satillites will feed into the main satellite. (i could look myself but that would then mean me having to download tribeca!!  )

You say that it is good to see a tournament that is different - how does it differ from other tournaments?

The Tribeca network is starting to look a lot more stable, I know they have ironed out several issues in the last few weeks. As for the tournament it is underwriten by Tribeca. This means that there is a guaranteed $300,000 prizepool, which would pay one pokerface package and 8 $12,500 WSOP main event packages. This is if there is less that 30 players. Great chance of getting a WS seat regardless of the number of runners as the packages keep getting added as they go up.

Blonde has some details on it at http://www.blondepokerleague.com/promotions/online_qualifiers/article/article_id-12316101

The tournaments are available on the whole Tribeca network

Thx, Dirty Fish

Stanley's in Torquay has a very good cardroom.
There is also tournaments in the Grosvenour in Plymouth

I think Tony G's the star guest at this thing. Hope his teeth are insured.

Ha that would be great, I don't think Tony would try his normal antics in a pub atmosphere.

Not that this is true I guess, but please take video cameras just in case

Less than two weeks now before the league starts, this is the last chance to get your local pub signed up and to earn some good money by becoming any agent.
Pubs are signing up all over the UK, the hot areas are Manchester and London at the moment.

Great idea.

there is a free poker leauge in australia and nights are always well attended and good fun. the pubs provide prizes such as a case of beer to the winner on the night.

it's a win/win situation as it also provides pubs with increased revenue. i presume your aware of their operation as yours sounds pretty similar. if not there website is

i'm sure they'll give advice of problems that needed ironing out in the early days.

This is a very well established league. They are gaining players and increasing their prizes at the start of every new league, PITP will hopfully grow in the same way.

It proves that with good planning and a simple nationwide points/prize system that this can be a real hit.

Great idea, have a question though.
Myself and a group of friends travel around the south west in a minibus playing tournaments each weekend. If we were to enter this we could travel around different pubs each week and be able to use our points for the national league, right? Part of the buzz for us is to visit new venues and play our usual game of Holdem so this is great for us.

As far as i understand you will be getting the same structure and format where ever you go and we would be welcome to play in new pubs each week.

Thanks, Cal.

Hey Cal, your points will count for the national league, you can play as many different pubs as you like and as often as you would like.
The format will be fixed in every pub, $2000 in chips, 15 min blinds, starting blinds 25/50.

mr rivercard has just come 22nd in the $1500 NL tournament at the WPT World Championships for $3,775.

Is there anyone else from here that’s playing the preliminaries?
