Disappointed that no day 1 available on a Saturday for the £500. As a recreational player this is a bad decision for me. Will have to make do with the £150.

This does seem strange. Will boost the numbers for the £150 tho as the usual suspects can have two shots at the £500 and still play the £150

In for the 150 unless i can bink a satty for the 500. Schedule looks great

I don't see what was wrong with the previous monthly big deep stack tournaments. Whether they were the £300 or £500 ones. Spreading it over 3 days and making the day 1's w/t/f will stop me playing. I know I'm only 1 player but whenever I've been able to I've tried support the monthly ds.

I appreciate Simon, Nick and Rob are trying to improve DTD but I just don't see how this will work.

Edit: I'm just pee'd off that I can't play the biggie.

Ideally not over 3 days, clue was in what I said.

Players have asked for a 60 min clock, the comp takes 28-30 levels, its something we are doing for Oct.

We are trying something different after the £500k gte in sept. boredom sets in when we do the same thing every month with so much more choice available nowadays. It's a balance of course.

Over the year, there is plenty of variety at DTD, although its hard to please everyone, every day, every week, every month

We try

You do pretty damned good.

10 levels on days 1 & 2?

[DTD-ACES]

Hi David

10 levels max, possibly 9 with a lower field.

With 200 runners it could finish in 27=28 levels so 3 x 9 levels + breaks would work.

I will see how many we have in pre reg from satelittes etc and make a decision, so its 9 or 10.

Cheers Aces
