mr rabb

i certainly will attend the fesitval that will be part of the GUKPT and i will attend a live sat or 2 for the GUKPT in aberdeen but i doubt i will play in it unless i win a seat as the cost of the buy in would mean that i would not be able to play 3 or 4 other event
and i love traveling and playing different casinos

Jon i think you were a bit unfair, i am a big supporter of the GPT, i love the events and i love the fact that blue square add to it, i am just saying it can't stop here as the added money just about counts as a juice free tournament. Not exactly 'great value' (unlike the poker 6 which is)

As for keeping reg fees, i just don't see the point, Grosvenor to me appear to want to do more and more to piss of their customers, how can they justify £10 for admin fees, how hard is it to un-register someone from a tournament?

They chopped your tenner 5 ways, they were last seen enjoying a Latte and a tuna sarrnie and the £10 went to the waitress fora tip. so well done chopper, your money fed and watered 5 people and still made a waitress happy.

seriously though, if you left unregistering til the last minute, i can see why they wouldnt refund the reg fee.

And remember, it is a REGISTRATION FEE, so you pay it to register.

I gave them a 4 hour warning.....

The £10 is a service charge, i received no service.

There are more circuit tournaments coming. Stanley which generally gives its managers the chance to run there own tournaments are running a 3 day festival in Torquay (I will post the link if requested) the first one it has seen for 14 years!! I believe that if successfully that these will roll out across the U/K. With the buy in and structure at a more affordable rates I believe that this will attract many more players. This is also linked to a 10 week league that has just started which is a great way to qualify. There is no entry fee and all the entry fees from the league are being issued as prizes for seats in the main event. This is the way I believe that poker will go in the future,various size tournament circuits with multiple cost entry levels. The should be satellites for this tourney on Playtech, we will know within the next week. I am trying to be careful with how I post this as I have a vested interest in this tournament.
