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

playing to night 15 levels off late reg in both mini and micro !

I see they take my suggestions seriously!  Grin

Would deffo have shallower stacks in the nano and the mini. They go on pretty late and think if u did 25k stacks in both you'd still get plenty of play

Dear UK Team Challenge Captain,


Guess what? It pays to be involved.

Glenn’s running an exclusive last longer just for you (and your team.)

The three UK Team Challenge players that place highest in the £150,000 GTD Pokerfest Mini will each win a seat worth £330 to the £300,000 GTD Pokerfest Live Main Event

It's that simple, all you have to do is place higher than the rest of UK Team Challenge players playing.

Glenn’s got a spreadsheet of you guys and your teams, and the results are easily obtainable, so don't worry, he’ll be on hand to let you know if you are in with a shot of winning!

If you have any questions about Pokerfest, please don’t hesitate to ask Glenn.

Thank you Sir, the structure gets very tight towards the end but managed to God-mode the FT.

Was a real double whammy as I was lucky enough to pick up the extra $1k from the fantastic PP community promotion and the 100k points puts my team (3 men and a little lady)  into the live final.

See you all there!

Daily UK Majors Announcement!

New structures, new late reg, awesome new WPT promotion for DTD Members!

We've been listening to our community of players and have made several improvements to our Daily UK Majors, and to our other UK & Ireland exclusive tournaments.

This post outlines the major changes. There is also a great promotion for Dusk Till Dawn members!

The 7pm Daily UK Majors:

1. Late Reg being reduced to 12 levels.
2. Clock changed to 12 x 8min levels, followed by 12 x 10min levels with the rest of the levels being 12min.

These two changes will reduce the grind early on and shoud make the tournaments a lot more enjoyable.

After reviewing the performance of the 7pm Nano, Micro and Mini, we are reducing the guarantees to: Nano: $500, Micro: $2500, Mini: $5000. These guarantees will be continually reviewed, and if we are able, we will certainly increase them!

We've also made some good changes to some of the other UK & Ireland specific tournaments.

Our hourly Nanos are now a 3 minute clock, to give players the much requested 'fun & fast tournament' with a $50 Guarantee.

We've changed the schedule of the daytime and evening Micro Turbo and Mini Turbos. So now they run at 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, 9pm and 11pm. We've also changed the clock to 6 minutes on these.

The guarantees will be $250 on the Micro Turbo and $500 on the Mini Turbo.

Late reg is now being reduced to 12 levels across all of these tournaments. (might take a couple of days for them all to become 12 levels, some are currently 13 or 15)

We firmly believe that these changes will make the tournaments more fun to play. Many players have asked for a better structure and a shorter late reg period, so we have listened, and delivered! Keep the feedback coming.

All changes come into effect over the weekend, the Guarantee changes from Saturday 29th August and the Levels / Late Reg changes along with the new timings happening over Saturday and possibly Sunday.

There is a new BIG daily tournament on the horizon...

We are spreading the word early, but there should very shortly be a new $25,000 GTD, $109 Buy-in Tournaent added to the Daily Schedule. The final bits and pieces are being finalised, but it will be a great tournament for all partypoker players (not just UK&I). This new tournament is due to go live sometime during week commencing 7th September. We'll give you more details when we get them.

WPT Superstars FB Forum Challenge:

Fancy winning a WPT Main Event seat worth £2200? Fancy winning a WPT500 seat worth £550? Of course you do!

We are running an exclusive promotion which is only open to members of Dusk Till Dawn who are aso members of the Dusk Till Dawn Community forum on Facebook.

Win either the Daily UK Major: $2500 Gtd Micro, or the Daily UK Major: $5000 Gt Mini and you'll win a WPT500 Seat! Just post your claim in the forum, and once we've verified you are a DTD member, we'll add a WPT500 seat to your club account!

That is not all. That is never, all.

From the launch of the new $109 tournament we are adding it to the WPT Superstars FB Forum Challenge. If a DTD player wins it, they will receive a WPT seat worth £2200! $109 DTD Tickets will be able to be used to play this new tournament.

There are no limits to the number of seats you can win, only your poker skills! The WPT500 and WPT Seats are not exchangable for cash or $TD, cannot be transferred and are only valid for the 2015 WPT 500 and WPT at Dusk Till Dawn Nottingham. The promotion will run from Saturday 29th Aug 2015 through to Sunday 13th Sept 2015 at the very least.

Remember - you have to be a member of Dusk Till Dawn Casino in Nottingham and a member of the Dusk Till dawn Community Forum right here on facebook. And you have to be a member before the tournament starts! Not allowed to win it and then join!

hi Tighty are you improving the structures by making the tournaments shorter or longer?  I don't play on party much but if somebody was improving their dailies to finish at 12 or 1 I could be persuaded to start.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

The structure should be better because of the variable level clocks, so 12 levels at 8 minutes early on, 12 at 10 minutes mid and the rest at the business end 12 minutes.  This coupled with Late Reg being cut from 15 to 12 levels, should make it an all round better experience, it doesn't mean it will finish any sooner, but will mean those fighting it out for the big prizes get a much better experience.

Always open to more feedback, give them a play from tomorrow and let me know what you think, either here, or in the facebook forum.

Thanks

I checked on the software and it does look like you have made it shorter.  I am not bothered about the rest, so long as I am not up at 3 in the morning fighting for £3.50.  Bed is much more important than a good game to a few of us old farts. Will give it a go on Sunday or maybe next week.

Cheers

By chopping 1 hour+ out of the early levels level 25 will obviously start just over an hour earlier...hopefully this will ensure a good hour earlier finish - sounds good to me  thumbs up.

...will let you know tomorrow after I bink the micro

Couldn't quite bink the micro but got a respectable 5th...knocked out around midnight so a slightly earlier finish than the previous structure
