grosvenor grand prix walsall

[Karabiner]

If what hotdog says is correct, and I have no reason to doubt him.

I would guess that each sitting will play their first six x 1 hour levels, and whoever is still left in will return for day two.

[Dani Versace]

The original sturture for the GP was an hour clock, the stucture will be closely looked at due to the amount of players, Richard, zak and myself along with other supervisors will have a meeting to outline the structure and other key points to how the tourniment is run. as soon as this i hav a definate answer ill let you guys know as soon as possible, the levels will NOT be shorter than 45 mins.

as its going it very much looks like it will be over 2 sittings, (sorry guys but guildline 3 stat u all hav to be there when the competition commences) a pain i know. the pit will be open and there will be cash games avalible from 3 o'clock aswell

the starting chips are going to be 10000

[Junior Senior]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

danni, please take heed of what a few blondeites have said already - any clock shortening, please dont take the decision lightly and please, if you are to shorten the clock do it early on (e.g. 30 minute levels for the first 3-4 levels then back to an hour thereafter). - it would be appreciated,
thanks
Greg

junior, im not in favour of shortening clocks and take all comments from blondites seriously good or bad, and ill gladly put your point across during the  meeting, 

the monthly £300 freezeout. regarded as structally one of the best tourniments around by many, giving you plenty of time to play, so following on from that i dont see the Grand Prix being any differant.

[Junior Senior]

thanks for listening dani, its appreciated.  We're a tetchy lot you know if we dont get our own way.

The original sturture for the GP was a 1 hour clock, So what's changed?

You expected to get this many qualifiers, if not more, so the circumstances were forseeable

Bring the players in early, start them at midday, same with the second day

This is a flagship tournament for Grosvenor, it's a lot of money, give us a proper shot at it

good points well made. - i guess 230+ players was definitely forseeable so the players shouldnt have to suffer as a result of the comps popularity.

Mr Versace, your comments are appreciated

As the others say, surely it can be no surprise that 200+ runners will qualify

and yet the blurb on the blue sq site says that day 1 will be in two flights if necessary (fine) and the final nine will return for a final table on Sunday. How on earth was this ever going to be feasible with 10k chips and a 1 hour clock?

Please if necessary start the thing earlier or at an absolute last resort cut the time of the first few levels, but don't muck around wqith it beyond that

If 50 come back for day 2 so be it.

Finally, and a cheap point, whilst it is to be welcomed that cash games will be available for those who turn up for 3pm on saturday and get told they are in the second flight (9pm? 10pm?) it is not that attractive to be told the pit will be open!!!

I for one would disappear back to the hotel for rest and relaxation

[winkie]

Just to be clear, we have to be at Grosvenor Walsall at 3pm for the draw on Saturday?

Wanna make sure I'm there on time...!

[TightEnd]

yes Pete, draw for two flights 3pm Saturday

I hope, for your sake, you draw Flight one, otherwise it's Selfridges in the bullring for you with Mrs Winkie!

[winkie]

There's no way I'm venturing out to go shopping with Mrs Winkie...! Don't think my credit card would survive...

Please god... let my draw session one...!

[Yogi-Bear]

Feeling kind of glad I'll be stuck in Blackpool.

Trouble is brewing and after seeing the screaming and shouting about paying everyone £100 at the first Grand Prix, I'll miss the shenanigans this time around. Hope everything sorts itself out ok.

Good Luck to all you Blondites/ Blondeites who have qualified. Make it a Final 9 of us.
