Seats for future events deducted from prizepools.

[Karabiner]

Nobody appears to have mentioned this new trend of around 10% of prizepools being deducted for seats to future big events such as £500+50 deepstacks and Sky £1k+100 ME so I thought it might be interesting to find out how people feel about it.

You've put a negative slant on this. The way I saw it the prize pools went up and the tickets were part of the rise. If we are talking Dtd then the numbers seem to confirm that the players like it too.

The poll answers are hilariously biased. The most positive option is pretty meh and the most negative is absolute outrage. I think these are great ideas.

I've added a more positive option for you.

I suppose the only thing I would want is for the seat to be transferrable, as I'm playing Comp A, rather than a satellite into Comp B. I might not want to play Comp B or I might not be able to. That shouldn't stop me from wanting to play Comp A, which is a suitable buy-in level and a fun comp.

I appreciate that the organisers want to advertise that, in Comp B, they have the winner of Comp A, "who won his seat for just the entry fee of Comp A". This is the conflict that the system imposes. That's it for me, though. Anything added to a prize pool is a gift.

So what you are saying is that if it's a £100 comp with a guarantee of 10k including say 2x 500+50 seats (£1100), and it makes 12k, actually the payouts only come to £10,900, and the top two people get £500 seats whether they like it or not. They are not added seats?

Prizepools INCLUDE the price of the tickets, so for all the money raised take off the price of any torn tickets that are part of the pool.

I think DTD is the ONLY club in the world that is trying to make everyone one happy but not everyone are. I like the way the GUARENTEE are inclusive of seats and by the responsed from the turnout , it's a success . Well DTD

[BangBang]

Think it's a good idea.. For someone like me who only plays once in a while due to work and family commitments, it gives me an added incentive to play during the week..

Plus the numbers seem to be up and the GTD has been raised on the tournies to accommodate this.. 

All in all I think it's a good idea..

[GlennDuskTillDawn]

My 2p's worth.

From a pure playing perspective, I think its a great way to get recreational players and smaller buy in players into bigger events. For example: I wouldn't play a satellite for a £1K event. But I see it as an added incentive for tournaments I would play such as Super 50 and tournaments like the £100 multi day event planned at Genting Luton.

To a recreational guy and the type of player that could be more involved in the game, they get prize money and potentially a seat into a £1K event for as little as £25, win win really.

[YEAHMAN123]

I can see it be confusing when you read it, when I first saw them I wasn't quite sure and heard some funny stories of players doing a 4/5 way chop then selling the 500seat for £150 or sumthin because they just duno what it's for lol.

I think it's a good idea what Dtd our doing putting up the gtd for the smaller buyins, please don't change and if u do keep a once a month one ( I know Dtd do like to tinker )
I'd love to play these every night but work and house commitments means my plastic cards running low

Frankie you'll never please us moaners its what we do I'm sure u get them too in ur business

Didn't mean to sound like such an arse. Cheers (Y)

As long as they don't take up much of the prizepool then its cool.

[The Camel]

I can why Karabiner's dander is up, but I'm a little less bothered.

If you want to play a specific tournament in the future, you'd play a satellite.

This is like an extra bit of juice on a small tournament.

I don't think it would stop me playing a competition (unless I couldn't play in the tournament the seats are given in), but I do think the tickets should be transferable at the very least.

Hi,

The GPS Nottingham starts next week not tomorrow. The event at Luton is a 2 Day event with Day 2 in the weekend, Sunday I believe.

Hope this helps.
