If Nick wants the 27p tell him to give me a tap on the shoulder next time I'm in.

forgot that one, yes both OK, think the Park Plaza edges it in terms of rooms and the Crowne Plaza has better amenities but either are fine

Robs Grand Prix Update

 

Well, the numbers are looking a bit more respectable now at 254 with 15 days to go. We never actually anticipated we’d have this many signed up at this stage, and the registrations per day are getting higher each day. There are players entering from every part of the UK, even as far as Scotland, eyeing the £13,000 winner’s prize, for a modest investment of £50 + £8.

 

I have been asked why we are planning on running a 45 minute clock for a £50 tournament. This is not like a normal £50 tournament. People are playing for a £40,000 prize pool, equivalent to a £500 buy-in event with 80 runners, so I wanted to give as good a structure as possible. This is the first time we’ll be running an event like this, so I’m sure if we decide to repeat it, there will be certain tweaks and changes. Like everything we have done at Dusk Till Dawn, we constantly try and improve things, often by trial and error!

 

We have changed the start time on Friday’s day 1A to 4pm. Some of you wanted to play Friday, but didn’t want to take the whole day off from work. This is hopefully now possible with a slightly later start time. Saturday’s Day 1B, is still set to a 1pm start time, as is Day 2.

 

Usually, when online tournaments are set up this far in advance, they are done so with the chance of small fluctuations in the exchange rate. As the exchange rate has moved 5% since the tournament was set up, we have refunded €4 to all players that bought in at the initial price of €70. The entry fee is now set at €66, to ensure that players are still paying the right amount. We are working with our software providers to offer tournament buy-ins in GB Pounds in the near future, so hopefully any movements in exchange rates will not be a problem if we decide to repeat this type of event in the future.

 

On a final note, we will be announcing our annual £1000 event shortly. We’re aiming for another televised event, which will fall on Friday December 17th – Sunday December 19th. We have a few extra things to finalise beforehand, as this is almost certain to be televised on one of the main terrestrial TV channels, as part of a longer term project that we are working on.

 

Cheers Rob

FWIW i find it more of a pain going to a cash point and withdrawing cash, then waiting in a Q for 10 minutes to buy in at the desk. When i can deposit money online and just click an entry in about 1 minute 13 seconds and spend the time i saved productivly.

+1 but I don't tend to spend time productively! I do like signing in online then arriving at the club to have a drink and watch the queue though!

Or buying in online, and then getting a call just before the tournament starts from someone asking you to buy them in.  So you have to queue anyway.... sigh.
