The new DTD Nightly Tournament

[TightEnd]

In case you didn't see it, Simon Trumper said:

Starting Tuesday 8th May 7.30pm we will be launching a single nightly brand new tournament for all weekly players. Buy in will be £25, just £5 more than the current £20 that has a guarantee of only £500 and you will have the option of 1 re entry during late reg which ends at 9.30pm, the reason that this event will also appeal to our current £50 players is the guarantee will be a phenomenal £5000, double the current £50 guarantee for half the outlay!!!

When we first opened we had a £25 event with just 3000 starting chips that used to get 200 players, we will need 250 entries to cover the £5000 guarantee and these players will be getting a 10,000 starting stack. We expect until the event is well publicised to get £1000 a night overlays but we would like to see players travelling to play for this value as it is unheard of for such a big guarantee at this level of buy in.

Spread the word please and lets see if we can make this a success.

Cheers

£25? £5,000 GTD?

10,000 chips?

Pretty unbeatable I would say, if you live close enough

[david3103]

How close is close enough though?

It certainly adds to my willingness to pop in on the way home from any trips south.

What structure/clock will be used? Simon's fb page talks about some 'tweaks'...

I will get Simon to come on re the Structure

How close? Dunno, but its got to be worth a thought..weighing up petrol etc versus the guarantee on offer for such a small buy in

[smashedagain]

Thought all comps were wsop structure but with differing clocks.

Simon is starting to get right on my nerves. Just because he has to go to Dtd 5 days a week, why his he making it so hard fir us not to.

For me personally i like the idea, if i get down to DTD i usually play the £50 tourneys so to get 2 bullets for the same £50 and £5k gte is great, however, i feel it might upset some of the regulars from the £20 game as they might consider it to be a shove fest for the regs 'stepping down' from the £50.

 I hope im wrong and it doesnt put too many off.

3,000 starting chips FTW.

10,000 chips/sensible structure shouldn't be a shove fest for anyone should it?

Surely higher buy in regs are going to be taking it seriously with that guarantee?

don't mind for Mon to Thurs but would like to keep a bigger game for a Friday night

Well, if it needs 250 runners and has to be done in one night then it's gonna turn into a shove fest at some point. Just a case of using a structure that results in a "better" shove fest. Sounds like DTD have that right.

20 mins clock on a 10k stack with 200+ runners shouldn't really end up as bingo till about 4 in the morning and then there should still be some play there.

Don't get me wrong, DTD is the nuts yaddayadda, and I don't have any interest in these tourneys either way

But 2 points:

A big guarantee doesn't increase your average ROI (unless there is an overlay). It's still only a £20 tournament down from £50.

Also it has 25% rake.

It's obv a sick tournament for recreational players or whatever, but that's all. But then I guess that goes for all the weekly tournaments anywayz.
