DTD £500 Deepstack: £500,000 Guaranteed: blonde sweats

[robyong]

Hi,

Sorry is this has not been made clear - this £500 mega sized Deepstack event is an "absolute freezout". This means no re-entry on the same Day OR into another Day 1.

As well as questions about the above - I have had a lot of questions about why the hell we would make this No Re-Entry (mainly from pro players).

The ONLY reason is that I have made this decision is to challenge ourselves to get 1000 unique individual players to play our £500 Deepstack - it's quite likely that we will never do this 'Megasize' thing again - the market at this buy-in level is tough tough tough ! But if we could do it once, it would be an amazing feeling for us after 5 years of running our Deepstack. If we get slaughtered, it's 'deserved', because this is a 'punt' by me to get 1000 players, not the DTD Team. I totally understand some of the bigger rolled players would want to take 2 shots + at this, but I feel that re-entry would be cheating this potential accomplishment for DTD, should we actually make the 1000 with re-entries - I don't thing it will feel the same. Look at the last Grand Prix, only 975 individual players, in reality, nothing to write home about, headline number will say 1872 with re-entries, but we all know the truth.

Cheers Rob

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned in the thread already, but what is the online policy for multiple satelitte winners these days? Do we get refunds for multiple seats or reserved for future events or is it best to just leave the satelittes after winning a seat the first time round?

Ben here are the current satellite rules


http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/satellite-winners.php


The following rules apply on all winning seats & duplicate winning seats for the same event

·     Seats cannot be transferred to other players

·     1st winning seats MUST be played in the event quoted in the tournament information box in the online lobby

·     2nd winning seats can be deferred to the next scheduled event OR used within a 4 week period. Please note that seats that are not deferred or used within 5 weeks after the event intended for, they will expire

·     Golden Chips are not valid on duplicate wins or wins that have been transferred

·     Seats can be exchanged for higher buy-in tournaments by paying the difference

·     Seats can be exchanged for lower buy-in tournaments but no change or tournament credits will be given on the difference

·     No refund or cash alternative is available for winning or duplicate winning seats

·    Physical Golden Chips will not be awarded for these tournaments

Hi,

Nicola has asked me to post here on our non refundable, non transferable satelitte win policy;

We put on online satelittes to qualify players for a specific live event and it is integral part of trying to hit our GTE's.

We do not want to;

1. Incentivise players to win multiple seats for a specific event, if we put 100 seats online, we want 100 unqiue players in the event
2. Incentivise professional players to use our satelittes to make their wages
3. Incentivise players to play a satelitte when they cannot make the live event
4. Incentivise players  to sell seats to players that would directly buy-in anyway

Of course, sometimes a player may still choose to win 2 seats, even with this non refundable, not transferable policy, in that case, we will allow the player to use the seat value but within a month (in a 5 week month, a player who wins 2 deepstack seats can transfer to next deepstack 5 weeks later of course)

For players that want to win LIVE TOURNEY CREDITS (ie. bank up live credits to play any DTD comps now or in the future) we will be introducing DTD Voucher Online Satelittes, players will be able to use for ANY DTD event with no timeframe to redeem them.

I think this covers all bases and is very fair. We gave 14 seats away for our £200 last night, we definitely want all 20 players in the £200 event this weekend.

Of course, we do expect a significant decrease in our satelitte numbers as a result of this policy change but in the long term, its best for DTD and the target market that satelittes are aimed at.

If you have any individual questions regarding seats you win please email nicola rather than post on this forum.

Cheers Aces

Hmmm, not sure about package thing really. I am very unsure if people want a package or not.

Puts me of the sats for sure. Are any changes expected?

Yeah. But where are the sats for the regs and locals to the card room?

[TightEnd]

There are masses of non package satellites. Just look back through this thread. They are highlighted on here every day they run

[smashedagain]

Yeah I noticed a few over seas. I got beat up to a guy from the Lebanon but he was flying the Brazil flag. Hope he wins a seat because he was very funny

Hi

The package satelittes have been provided at the request of our players, we have never done these before, they drilled for the £200 but have done pretty well for the £500, as you can see, we are still doing mostly seat only online satelittes, here is the tree http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/satellites/500-deepstack.The live club satelitte program is my responsibility and that will be announced in the next few days, you need not be concerned about the availability of satelittes for this event, with no re-entry allowed, we need 1000 players, so opportunities to qualify will be in abundance right up to the event.
