Im getting the impression the no vote is gonna win, which is weird because most of the people I know/have asked have said they will probably vote yes but I think itll take a huge effort to get a yes vote through

Question

Someone who is thinking about playing asked me the following question and I didn't know the answer.  The event is £500k gtd £1k (£900+£100) buy in.  If there are 440 runners what is the actual prize pool the players are playing for after deductions?  Same question if there is 480 runners?  Same question if there are 525 runners?

I didn't know the answer as the rake is taken out of the prize pool. His point was is the min prize pool £500k after deductions which is what £500k gtd implies?

Yeah this is the same as stars tournaments.  It gets interesting when the runners approach the threshold for making the gte. 

So its £500k gtd but 10% taken out the prizepool so only really £450k gtd in prizes to be paid out to players.  This means that if there was 450 players, effectively every penny of the 450x£1k would go to the prizepool and DTD/Sky pay the rake out of their own pocket however every player from 451-500 are paying the rake which is coming off the prizepool no matter what so the players dont see a penny of the next 50x£1ks and once it gets above 500 players we will only see £900 of each additional players buyin to the prizepool.

So effectively means for the players, if there is going to be overlay at all we are sweating 450 max players and if the gte is met we're hoping for as many over 500 players as possible.

It will take 556 players to actually provide a £500k prizepool after rake is taken

I'm deffo late regging this once I check into my hotel. Gonna be 2 or 3 of us so don't cancel it. Lol

The only people that dont want this implemented, something that should be quick for Uefa to implement and carry out on a match by match basis and that would be good for the game as a whole and for the fans, is Celtic fans.  I can only imagine they dont want this kind of hand holding for other teams in the hope that any other time they get pumped they might sneak back in through a rule breach

I think uefa owe it to the paying public to ensure teams arent making these mistakes before the game goes ahead.  This game was a farce because no matter what the result was, it wouldnt stand.  People are paying good money to watch this, travelling abroad to go to the game etc and the game is nothing more than a training game.

Some teams cant afford to hire experienced administrators and some teams dont qualify for europe every year so may not be aware of proper procedures for  dealing with things in the european game, but I dont think the fans should be punished by having to fork out their hard earned money to watch a game that couldve been legitimized by a Uefa official taking 5 minutes to check on the eligibility of all players before the game started.

Being cynical its better for UEFA if clubs break the rules, can fine them and put it towards the xmas night out etc

Dont think the punishment fits the crime since it boils down to an admin error but I agree with the person earlier in the thread that said it, it has happened a few times in recent years and its crazy how UEFA dont communicate with clubs regularly to establish who cant and cant play in each game and to confirm that a player served 1 game of a suspension when they miss a game and stuff like that.  Im surprised a match official of some sort wouldnt check over both team sheets before letting the players take the field.  Seems way more sensible than watching them field the ineligible player and rendering the game useless when people have paid money to see it etc

28.5% of this left.  Will also be at DTD next week if anyone wants to pay in cash
