I'm a little behind you guys.....but at least we have all qualified.

Well done team.

Until this week I was well behind you all and annoyed with myself for not being able to play more so I don't think we should worry about individual scores

We've all got some good results to keep the team ticking over

[smurf]

Just noticed...we're in!!!

They both finish too late for me now so only got one or two days a week to play with work, so a great achievement inside three weeks

Not too worried about the teams seemingly going for a gazillion chips but it would be handy to see an average stack for those qualified (without having to do a ridiculously long sum). 😀

Nano, micro and mini now all start at 7pm if that is any use?

we are 15,000 away from qualification so all being well will see you at the live final cheapskates!

[smurf]

Before the challenge they used to finish about eleven but as the challenge has seen a big increase in players (an obvious success) even starting at seven they go on very late...final tabled in eighth at the weekend and that was one o'clock - up at six with work most days

A 7pm turboonce a week midweek would be good 😀

15,000 chips away.....I bet you've made it by the weekend 👍

Maybe 8 min blinds for the micro?

I think this has been mentioned before as a partypoker not DTD thing but the 14 levels of late reg is crazy too imo

still a great promotion though so I'm not complaining

Important & Rather Brilliant UK News!

Today we are making some exciting changes to the Daily UK Tournaments, and to our DTD, Pokerfest Live and other UK specific satellites.

Please take a moment to read this post carefully...right to the bottom for news of a GREAT Promo!

New Guarantees / Reduced Buy-Ins!

As of today until Sunday 30th Aug 2015 the following changes will take place:

The 7pm Daily UK Major Nano will see the guarantee increase fourfold to $2,000! The buy-in remains at $1.10.  This $2,000 Guarantee includes 80 x $5.50 tickets, so the tournament needs 82 runners to start.  Make sure you register early!

The 7pm Daily UK Major Micro will see the guarantee increase to $5,000 every day, not just on Sundays! The buy-in remains at $5.50.  This $5,000 Guarantee includes 50 x $22 tickets, so the tournament needs 52 runners to start.

The 7pm Daily UK Major Mini will see the guarantee remain at $10,000, but it now has a new lower buy-in of just $22! The $10,000 Guarantee includes 20 x $109 Tickets, so needs 22 runners to start.

Furthermore; the 1pm, 4pm, 10pm and Midnight Minis will also see their buy-in drop to $22, with no decrease in the $1,000 Guarantee.

Other Tournaments

The $1.10 and $5.50 tournaments we run will remain at that buy-in, the $27.50 tournaments will drop to $22, the $120 tournaments drop to $109 and the $550 tournaments drop to $530.

What about my tickets?

There will be a period of time this afternoon where we'll be swapping the tournaments over, and changing your tickets as follows:

Holders of $1.10 DTD Tickets - no changes
Holders of $5.50 DTD Tickets - no changes
Holders of $27.50 DTD Tickets - will receive a $22 DTD Ticket and a $5.50 DTD Ticket
Holders of $120 DTD Tickets - will receive a $109 DTD Ticket and 2 x $5.50 DTD Tickets
Holders of $550 DTD Tickets - will receive a $530 DTD Ticket and a $22 DTD Ticket (so gain $2!)

What about the UK Team Challenge?

There are no changes to points for the UK Team Challenge, the 7pm Mini and 7pm Micro generate Team Chips and the 7pm Nano is still the Booster Challenge.

Who you gonna call?

This process of changing the tournaments and the tickets is starting now and will last a couple of hours, so should be finished by approximately 6pm today.

If you have any questions or issues, and I am sure there will be a couple of teething gremlins knocking about, please alert us on this thread (please don't start new threads) and we'll deal with it.  Please be patient with us, good things come to those who wait!

Which brings me to...
