[smashedagain]

Also, can anyone confirm we can buy in on the day at the club? And Thursday is not likely to sell out right? Thanks

Hopefully it sells out!

Yes you'll be able to buy in pre-play, for sure.


Looks like I've drawn a good day to be updating. Plenty of characters. and Claypole.

Who is doing the updates on which days tighty?

Its a five dayer so it was a bit awkward

I am doing Thursday and Friday

Jonathan is doing Saturday to Monday

I am back up Monday to commentate, when the intention is to Live stream the whole of Monday's feature table play (however many tables are left ) through to a winner which hopefully should get a lot of viewers.

do we know how many levels are going to be played on day 1/predicted end time? Also, all the timings i.e 2.30pm start each day is confirmed?

2.30pm I know is correct

Structure info from Simon, please

Hi

You will play a minimum of 12 x 40 min levels on each day, start time is 2pm. 8 hours of play plus breaks, looking at a midnight/1am finish

Cheers Nicola

Is this still the case? Rich posted elsewhere that it was 16 levels day 1 which makes it a much later finish.

Its 16 40 minute levels with a 2.15am finish on each Day 1, this was confirmed today

[Free_Rollin]

Thank you for posting this Tighty. It means I'll play on Friday now. Good luck to all playing tomorrow.

[david3103]

Why can't these decisions be made before we make plans?
I opted for 1a on the basis that it was 12 levels, now I'm stuck with that choice and faced with a drive home at 2.30am

The tournament has been in the planning since June, and a fundamental decision like this is made today?

I <3 DTD but this is more than annoying

coming up friday night to play £100 fo
then will be playing this saturday

gl all blondes playing

Thats my travel plans out the window then haha! I've either gotta now bust out before the last train or sleep in the train station for a couple of hours, lovely.

I'll be playing tomorrow, well today now (day1a)

[claypole]

Lol Tighty - thought I was going mad, no mention of 16 levels here....found you post in the 50 seat sat thread. Thanks for trying...I'll stick with plans as made arrangements with Vinny and Dave and looking forward to it, altho if I'd seen in at 5 may have changed.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow - so trying not to moan, I have car and lack of sleep ain't end of world. However, the team at DTD should sort, even if it's just the odd person like previous poster who have taken a day off and arranged public transport it's pretty poor.

Guys,

I can see the post by Nicola saying 12 levels x 40. For sure, she must have got the wrong information from someone (hope it was not me!) as she always double checks any questions like this before posting, I can only assume its some mix up in communication internally.

Never in one million years was this comp only 12 levels on Day 1's, there has been NO CHANGE / DECISION MADE TODAY, this has always been a 36 level comp, 40/60/60 clock, 16-10-10 level format,  it's an error in Nicola's post, sincere apologies. Of course, if anyone is "genuinely financially halmed" due to being mislead by this post - come and see me over the £500 Deepstack and I will compensate you personally.

On a personal note, this comp can be done 16-10-10 or 14-11-11, when me and Simon designed the format, we opted for 16-10-10, 2.15am finish Day 1's, 1.30am finish Day 2 and 3, I personally don't find this a problem for a 3 day event with a great structure and a £500K GTE, I would personally prefer to play deeper on Day 1 and get closer to the money, I don't think that finish time is too late for a one off event like this, but if majority player feedback for the future is that players want to start playing at 12pm or even make the comp 4 days (LOL if we do this event again!), of course, we can make these changes, everything evolves.

Claypole, "I am not trying to moan" HOWEVER "The DTD team should sort this" LOL, nice one pal, keep spreading the positive vibe for this week! Seriously, apologies, see me if you have been inconvenienced financially, it's a communication error on this forum on our part, 12 levels would be absolutley impossible to ever be correct.

Guys, please try and keep a positive outlook this week, I am a poker player and I was moaning at the EPT last week about playing 14 hours on day 1 and not being able to get a drink at the break, we are moaners as a speices generally, I get this, but lets take a break this week as this is a brand new challenge for DTD and we don't pretend to have perfected this poker stuff quite yet, hands up, error on post! I won't moan if we do our brains on the GTE - deal

Cheers Rob

[david3103]

Sorry Rob, great post and clearly 16 levels on day 1 is best. Also I know I shouldn't moan about playing a £500k gtd tournament with a super deep structure in the best poker venue I know. Especially since I'm effectively freerolling it.
But in a spirit of constructive criticism, couldn't this info be put on the DTD website from the outset?
Or in the announcement posting on here?

Day1a Update thread for later

Going to be a long day, please follow the action and interact on there

Playing Thursday

Want to bet me v anyone else on thursday- you can pick the player or take yourself. Even money, any amount- highest stack at end of day wins, to win bet one of us must have a top 25 stack. Stake doubles if either finishes as chip leader. Thursday players only

So to be clear- James Keys might say il take "Claypole for 500"- if Claypole finishes above me in chips AND is in the top 25 chip stacks at the end of days he wins. If neither of us are in top 25, the bet is a push, noone wins. If Claypole was chip leader id pay Keys 1k.

I get myself, you can choose from the other 332 runners.

Bump- the next person to reply can have 6-4 any player they want or 5-2 on a seat number, max loss for me £500 on these special promotions

[EvilPie]

To be fair to Nicola her post does say 'minimum' 12 levels.

<3 Dubai and his special promos.
