XXL25/50/75? Does that mean there's 3 different XXLs each week night? Or is it £25 with 2 Re loads?

[arbboy]

I assume there is one xxl per night and you can choose what buy in level you have and either start with 20k, 40k or 60k chips.

£5K Gtd good value for £25 punters then.

[teamonkey]

GETTING to dtd is another matter

Yes - there are NO reloads. Players choose what chips they want to start with before entering and the £25 players have 200 BB's at the start - blinds 50-100. I expect the £50 and £75 players to buy in later when the average stack is higher.

The Big Game- is that a 'have multiple entries and take your biggest stack through' format?

It's the one where you can buy in to Day 2 for 3x the original buyin

Ahh I remember, thanks

You can take your highest stack through although no one ever plays again once they have made day 2 so that rule is 99.9% irrelevant.

The prev Big Game was £500 day 2 buy in - this time we have reduced to £300, almost identical format to last year apart from that.

Simon, if you buy in for £20, can you re enter? Or is it a case of making your buy in decision at the start and it plays as a freeze out regardless of the buy in?

1 re entry according to dtd site I understand. Probably giving this a spin Monday, sounds good value

Hi Greg

You can buy in for £25, £50 or £75. Say you buy in for £25 for 20,000 chips (blinds start at 50-100, 20 minclock)- if you bust out you have the option to re-enter ONE more time for £25 (20,000 chips), £50 (40,000 chips) or £75 (60,000 chips).

Late registration is only for 5 levels of 20 mins, so I don't expect many players to bust out and therefore re-enter starting with at least 200 - 600 BB's - but the option is there - we tried FO's last month and they drilled - players want the option before they will get in car and travel nowadays. This tourney will be less 'gamble' than a reload and may suit different bankrolls and also suit players who can't get the club till later as they can buy an average stack. 7pm start time means am earlier finish - 2am - 2.30am.

As with all new ideas - we can only try! Night comps are tough to pkayers - players all want different buy ins / different formats / different start times / different finish times / different clocks and chips......only thing in common is players expect a big prizepool at DTD every night and every weekend!
