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

[dino1980]

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.

1) Yes they become null and void

2) Yes they get refunded

Richard is correct, thanks

Is it possible to get my €33 token redeemed for points. It was meant to be my rebuy token on Sunday night but I did not realise it needed to be exchanged for points to allow for a rebuy. Dont really have the bankroll anymore for €33 buyins as ive returned to education so id appreciate it if I can get the points. Probably makes sense anyway as it the points will ease the overlays as il be using them for smaller satts.

It's funny watching all the late reg wannabes registering and unregistering for the 7:30 so the tournament starts with exactly 56 runners.

Hi, I apologise if this question has already been answered, I've tried looking for the answer, but it is a big thread!

My question is regarding the whole process in which day 1 players make day 2. My understanding is that if 200 people play the first day 1, the top 10%, i.e. 20 players, will go through to day 2. Now lets say, on the next day 1, there are 300 players, so again the top 10%, in this case 30, go through. However, it's been mentioned throughout this thread that day 1s are not satellites, but just like any other day 1 of any other tournament. But, when it comes close to that magic 10% figure, players will inevitably slow down (become tighter, think more about decisions, hollywood, etc). So does this mean that one day 1 may very well play a different number of levels to another day 1? If this is the case, then it will start to play out like a satellite, right?

Again, sorry if this has been answered and sorry if I've missed something completely obvious. I just wanted to know if there is some mechanism in place which prevents one day 1 playing 12 levels (hypothetical number) and another day 1 playing 15 levels.

(On a side note, event sounds incredible and thank God it's after most of my exams).

[TightEnd]

Day Ones are going to play different levels depending on runners, and obviously the Wembley bubble might be prolonged

Its a different concept

blinds then re-set for day 2 and everyone restarts at 100-200 on Day 2a-2b having carried their stack through....there is no need to have a mechanism...
