I seem to work EITHER every Saturday or Sunday, so I've not been available to play a DTD £300 more than about once per year for the last few years. Now, as I rarely work Fridays, & not more than 1 or 2 Sundays per month, I'll be able to play this much more frequently.

Shocking decision, this could cost me £££'s per year.

Good luck with it, it's good to try & innovate, but few people seem to embrace change with much enthusiasm. Until they try it.

PS - Get that Diary started!

I assume a re-entry involves getting up from the table you are at, going to the cash desk and paying a full buyin+reg, followed by being sat where a new player would be sat?

To me I'm not entirely sure how useful having two day 1s is. But I don't see how it really hurts. And the bigger guarantee will attract people too.

I always laugh when people say "what time will it finish on Sunday"

If I was at a final table at 3-4am and walked away with 15bags+ then next day at work on no sleep would be an absolute breeze! Dreaming about spending the 15 bags!

It's when you finish at 2am with 800 quid that isnt so appealing

oh and good luck - i think the friday additional will see smaller starting fields (obv), but I would be very tempted to play friday rather than saturday!

I was actually referring to the new Sunday £100+R tourney.

Not sure on these changes. If it ain't broke- don't fix it. Think moving to two day 1's is a mistake. I like the atmos of 300 odd players on the Sat. Can't see the Friday being too popular

Usually at this time of year we drop the guarantee to £60,000 and still get approx 280 runners but for the last few months it has become obvious that the success of our event is being reduced by the flattery of duplication and other events clashing which has led to repeated overlays. Our choice is to just accept this and reduce the guarantee over summer or come up with a revised structure that prevents overlays, encourages travelling players especially the bigger bankroll willing to take a punt and make a weekend of it, improve the value for all the single bullet players and increases the size of the fields resulting in a must play event and we hope this new format will do that.

I've been a serious doubter whenever DTD has taken big punts, especially with the grand prix. I expected that to crash and burn but they still sold it out so we'll see

Personally I like the re-entry element but 2 days seems like a bit of a stretch. Its definitely a big risk because as far as I know this will be the smallest monthly tournament in the country with two day 1s.

I guess we'll see if the smaller buyin and smaller prize pool (compared to UKIPTs and GUKPTs) will deter people from travelling and being in notts for 3 days rather than 2

I suspect that the end result will be that attendance will be largely the same but the re-entry element will bump up the prize pool a bit which makes the tournament even better value so wp DTD. Numbers on the Friday will obv be lower than the Saturday. Maybe I'm missing something but there doesn't seem to be a net negative effect for anyone

I dont see how this is really a problem. If you dont wanna play the friday then just turn up on the saturday like nothing has changed. If it bumps up the prizepool its good for everyone surely?

I dont know about the re entry in the £100 tho, as it effectivley making it a rebuy like Fran said.

We will see, DTD dont generally get much wrong tho.....

(except not changing the menu often enough for the fat regs who play every night  Grin )
