Christ, I only asked, didn't want to start an argument
. Seems like a pretty standard MTT payout structure to me.

Just out of interest, you know those tournaments (GUKPT Champion of Champions was one, i seem to recall) where the players choose a payout structure from a list of options, most popular pick is chosen?
Would be interesting to see that tried in one of these.
The result?...i would suggest in a 900 runner field that may pay 90, the option offering to pay 150-180 (say) would win hands down

Didnt i read it was £13k gaurenteed 1st prize?
That payout shows £10k up top.
Granted thats still awesome for a £50 comp, but pretty sure i saw that above.
Anyone confirm?
Don't think they ever mentioned a guaranteed first prize.
The prize pool was guaranteed at £40k meaning an estimated first prize of £13k
Looks a fairly flat payout to me though I must say. Would much rather see less paid and more money up top.
I know Rob mentioned this comp being the equivalent of a £500 buy in 80 runner comp. Why not base the payouts on 80 runners so that it really is?
Now that would be fun.
erm, because that's stupid
Surely a man of your gambling pedigree would agree?
Scrap the prizes from 28 out, complete waste of time.
Use that money to bulk up top 9.
Im still determined to instigate a comp with a reverse payout structure one day.
No it's stupid.

i would say 70% of the field playing the £50 are leisure players that don't mind if they cash or not, where 30% are people going to win and win only
top 50 would of been nice as the jump from 9th £600 to 1st £10k is just silly

Rob's weekly Update
The Grand Prix, the New Monte Carlo and £54K in Online Satellites
Well, against most people's predictions, including mine, the Grand Prix sold out at 900 players with 8 days to go.
Since then, we have been inundated with requests to increase the field by adding an extra Day 1 on Thursday. However, the 45 minute clock and 10,000 chip structure means that we wouldn't finish at a suitable time for the filming, or for our gaming licence.
Looking at the emails to our support team and in the club, this event was oversubscribed by as least 400 – 500 players. This obviously means a field of 1300 – 1500 people is possible for us in the future. For now, I want to see how we cope with the 900 guests over Friday - Sunday, before we look at doing this type of event again. The Norwegian Poker Championships, and the Pokerstars UKIPT were big events, but the Grand Prix will be the most demanding so far due the sheer amount of entries in the tournament. We estimate Saturday could see us having over 800 people in the building; it's a good job that we have been able to get the marquee at short notice!
Events such as the Grand Prix and Monte Carlo are important. We need to keep the interest levels up, especially after now being open for 3 years. When we hold a bigger buy-in event, we always try and give our regular day to day customers the chance to qualify. £1090 for the Monte Carlo Event is a lot of money in this current economic climate, so we are guaranteeing 50 Monte Carlo seats in online satellites, worth over £54,000. These will commence 5 weeks before the event itself, so people can plan to take time off work if they qualify. Day 1 is on a Friday.
There has been a big focus on our weekend events over the last few weeks, adopting the Grand Prix model, giving players big prize pools for lower buy-ins. We do know that the weekday evening tournaments also need to be freshened up, so from Wednesday 10th November, a new evening schedule will commence. Details will follow shortly.
Thanks again to everyone that has supported the Grand Prix. We are all very proud to be on course (provided everyone turns up) to break the UK record on our first attempt. We set the guarantee higher than the number of players we thought we would get, so it's been a great surprise to sell out at our 900 cap so quickly. It's given us all at Dusk Till Dawn a boost!
Cheers, Rob

Of course it's stupid. Most fun things are.

I can appreciate not accepting alternates to control numbers, but would you resell seats of non attendees after say 2 hours of no show?
And ftr, yes my plans have now changed and I can now make it but I didn't buy in!
Reselling seats would assist in ensuring the record is broken, and I'm thinking Friday. ;0)

It would also be of great interest to see this put forward for APAT too.
