My only criticism of the UKPC was how the leaderboard was structured, making it, in my opinion 90-95% certain that whoever won the main event won the leaderboard.

I'd like there to be more of a sweat so people can still get there if they come 4th in the last turbo or something! It'll get more people staying on for the last few events if multiple people can still bink the package.

Can't disagree Alex, & it caused us all a few furrowed brows last time.

DTD are looking after the Leaderboard Thing, but in the many discussions I've had with Rob & Simon, I know they are keen to make it work better this time.

I think a way to make the leaderboard sweat more fun would be to have a nightly super turbo.

8.30/9pm start, 9 handed, 15 min clock, £100/150BI? These kind of formats are very popular at EPTs

 Obv points would have to be lower to reflect the BI but in a leaderboard challenge people would happily play something like this when a couple of points could be all the difference.

Capacity with all the extra tables needed is the only issue I can see.

Fair comment, but yes, capacity is much reduced with 6-Max. It's one for DTD to decide, in truth.

They are also trying to make room in the Festival schedule for the "local regulars", with nightly £25 & £50 Tourneys if possible. (Not confirmed yet).

That's the 6-Max stumbling block - it reduces capacity so much, quite apart from increased Dealer costs. Guess that explains why there has not been one previously.

Leaderboard cannot work whilst DTD insist can't play 2 tournaments at once- its either gonna mean you are at a massive advantage by winning the main event or a massive disadvantage if they tweak the format to add weight to the side events because you won't be allowed to play them. The way it worked last time meant if you came second in the main you could not possibly win the leaderboard.

Simon did say a few reasons why he didn't want to allow people multi tabling, I and most people I knew disagreed with his reasons but obviously that's their rules and having leaderboards with this rule in place is just a waste of time

I'm with Trigg, I can't beat live six max either...

Still, looks an outstanding schedule. Mini main event a great idea and nice to see the PLO guarantee has doubled - word of how soft it was must have spread...

Congrats to all involved, looking forward to it

No need, Tall Bloke, no need. Was the toughest Tourney all week, I heard. Did anyone tell you that I won it?

PS - Have a great Show tonight, & look after Anna.

Looks superb schedule cant wait for it to start.

great to see DTD making the effort to run a full series of events that we can all support and enjoy rather than the offerings of late which mostly amount to a single main event with the odd half hearted side event.

Hopefully we will see all the young superstars and all the  old has-beens battling it out over a week of great tournaments

Also the leaderboard situation should be fine now as the festival is longer and most players can play virtually every event, unlike the last one where the main event winner was almost always going to win the leaderboard (though apparently 6 people could have won it going into the last turbo event)

The leaderbaord should be a proper competitive affair this time!

The way stars do early main's with evening turbos i think works really well.

Start the main at 12 play for 10 hours ish. Have a nightly turbo starting at 9 where the people playing the main can jump in at 10pm when they are done. Put the nightly turbo in the leaderboard jobbie and just weight the points down. That would be my solution, will hopefully be in for a week depends on where my life is by then and if i am broke!

Looking forward to this alot.

The high roller is the day after we get back from my stag do- probably going to be some sore heads around the field for that one!

Also like the idea of nightly hypers... keep people interested who have travelled in groups and have a mate still in the daily tournament. Would also help keep the leaderboard race a bit more open to a wider range of players. Doesnt have to be a huge buy in- £100 for 10k chips/10 min clock or whatever, finishing with the bigger one at the end of the week to give people a chance to get out of it ;-)

Also, to solve the space issue, these could be 8 handed, you get 6max sides at a full ring festival, so why not the other way round.

A shame that it has been decided to clash this against the Goliath. Would have liked to play, but I'll be working those dates.
