[ripple11]

Thanks for that info Tex.....no I didn't get any email !!??

Thats a shame ...a 1pm start would have made it a better tourney.

Why not have a tutorial/training at 1pm (for those interested) and start at 2pm?

 Thinking about it,(and before tikay shouts ) almost all the 140 players will have to join the casino on the day....so a mid afternoon start is about right.....at least I can now have a lie in!

[RioRodent]

The Witney (inc. Carterton) Mob (well, two of us), will be there.

Me shout? as if.......But yes, that's exactly why a 4pm start was chosen. Almost all of the 140 players will need to Register as new Members with the Casino, hence the 4pm Start.

The Payout Structure & Blind Structure shown here are exactly what I designed.

Blind Structure.

I was asked to devise a structure for 140 players, to start at 4pm, have a buffet break, & finish by 10pm, so, by necessity, it's pretty fast, in fact it mimics (in Live v Online relative speed) "The Open" on Sky Poker nightly. In fact, it will NOT finish by 10pm, it will run on beyond midnight, but don't tell Sky that....... But I have to be back in Central London by 10am Sunday morning, so I hope it does not run much beyond Midnight.

Priize Structure.

We wanted a "headline" First Prize, & we've done that, (£2,000), & consdidering it's intended as a fun/community day, we wanted payouts to go down to 20th place.

Enjoy!

[TEX FITZ]

I will thoroughly enjoy it even if i bubble. Fridge stocked up and told kids not to answer the phone till we get back Sunday

[Snatiramas]

The Snat will be going and taking the legendary TomTom with him so should end up on a beach near the venue soon then

[jakally]

I've decided to break my routine and get my fat arse away from the PC .

Looking forward to meeting any Blondes who are going ..............(plus any members of this forum).

[Rookie (Rodney)]

I am there too, registered last night. See you there guys.

[TEX FITZ]

we flying down tonite so will probably go and join casino to beat the stampede tomorrow and "case the joint"

[Miami Vic]

As per last time, a fair few of the Sky Poker staff will be on hand to help out. We'll be filming interviews with players, so don't forget to wear some clothing. I couldn't make the last event because I was involved in a high speed boat chase after a drugs raid on a warehouse, but I'm really looking forward to seeing Bristol's glamourous Harbourside and the fabulous five star Ibis hotel. If you need me, I shall be in the Presidential Suite.

Regards,

Vic from Miami
