Official ISPT Wembley thread: DTD partner with ISPT and guarantee first at €1m

[TightEnd]

The point being, Eck, that it is very much worth people's time trying to get multiple Day One seats

For nothing else but the guarantees and overlays on the satellites make it phenomenal value as a bankroll building exercise for players (if you can get a day 2 seat early on in the day ones)..but of course on top of that with several chances to build an above average stack for Wembley and a shot at the big bucks.

Yeah had kinda figured that out Rich but just wanted confirmation as to be honest I hadn't really heard much about this, you should really try to get the word out....

on May 23rd you are running an online sat in to live day 2...the advert says £100 1r 1 add on (on the previous page)

assuming the £100 is actually euros will there be an opportunity to convert a day 1 token plus a 33 euro token to points to cover it...or is that asking too much

it's online

€33 tokens won't be valid for it, direct buy in only (as there aren't any specific satellites).

Players will win a £3,000 package which covers the seat (€3000) and expenses.

You can try for multiple day one seats

If you qualify for day 2, then subsequent tokens can be refunded in cash:

-If you qualify for day 2 but then play another day 1 hoping to get a bigger stack, the first stack is auto forfeited. (this might happen if you win through as a short-stack, you can decide to give that stack up and try again)

-If you have multiple tokens but only use one to qualify in the last day one, then the other tokens are NOT refunded in cash, you have to qualify in a day one where there are future day ones to follow to be eligible for token refunds


Nicola can correct this but that is as I understand it

Cheers Rich,

Just for clarity your second point implies that you forfeit the small day 2 stack when you decide to play the second day 1? therefore if you don't make it through on the second attempt you don't have a day 2 seat?

correct. The moment you play another Day One the first stack voids.

(keep watching the thread please, Nicola will issue any corrections. I find it complicated too...)

This is the one thing I struggle to understand the reasoning behind.

With 10% of the field going through to Day 2 and an average stack of circa 50k, there are going to be a number of players that make Day 2 with a stack between 10k-30k.

I would imagine a lot of the recreational players won't risk their Day 2 spot, and therefore won't bother with the satellites anymore.  If, however, you only forfeited your Day 2 stack if you improved upon it, then players are more likely to give the satellites and the Day 1's a further go, which has got to be a good thing.

Ideally I wouldn't leave myself with 10k-30k stack, but as it's nearing the bubble in the Day 1's, there is going to be a lot of shoving to get a stack around or above the average.

If I was left with say 25k, I'm not sure I would give up the chance to play at Wembley to go for a bigger stack, and potentially miss out altogether.

Yup interesting. Thats one for Rob or Simon to answer really, as to why the policy is set that way, and the thinking behind it....

It's a Day 1 - not a satellite. Same rules as our normal Day 1's. So far noone has ever forfeited a stack to play a further Day 1, even in the £50 Grand Prix. We want to avoid players gambling for big stacks because they already have a freeroll into Day 2 as back up, that would change the dynamics of the event. Personally, I would like one of the small venue freeroll players from Tuesdays freeroll to win the event, this would be great PR for us. Of course, DTD needs to also cater for the semi/pros, this is why we allow next day re-entry in all of our events, but we also should act in the best interests of the majority of players and ecology of the game.

I am not saying that this "biggest stack is taken through" format could not be used us another tournament, just not this one which is essentially a grass roots event.

playing all the sats which are great. (won some 33 tokens but failed this sunday in the mega sat) i noticed you have another 200 mega sat this weekend, will be getting all the guys round the play it with their free 3 euro tokens from creating accounts this week.

anyway my suggestion is why not run some mega sats the next weekends, for example 12th May you have your first online Day 1, why not run a mega sat either just before or same time. that why people can try and win multiple seats that your trying to push as well as another chance. just an idea i know the overlay is big right now, best of luck with everything.

Similar to Eck's question regarding multiple Day 1 tokens...

1) Like many players I'm aiming to win multiple Day 1 tokens. I know that, due to work commitments, I can only play a maximum of three Day 1s (one of which is the last online one). If I were to win 4+ Day 1 tokens but not advance to Day 2 with any of my Day 1 bullets, would the others just become null and void or could they be used for either a) ISPT side events or b) future DTD events.

2) If I were lucky enough to advance to Day 2 in the first online Day 1 satellite and then win subsequent Day 1 tokens would they be refunded as cash?

Apologies if answers to these questions are covered elsewhere.
