This looks absolutely fantastic but as ever I have the usual question that's probably going to put me off when I hear the answer Sad

How many entries, same day re-entries, different day re-entries, reloads, rebuys or whatever name they go by can I (or more importantly everyone else) have? It doesn't say anywhere so I have no idea as I'm afraid it changes every time.

I hate having to ask this question as it looks like I'm deliberately trying to put a downer on this potentially great set of tournaments but it's pretty important.

Hope these make the guarantees and can continue long term as they really do look good.

£100k gtd £200 weekly comp.  Amazing stuff to be running a comp like this weekly in Nottingham at an affordable buy in.  Good luck to everyone involved running it.  Shame 20% of the prizepool is taken out in seats as usual though to play an event i have no interest in playing.  Suppose that is the catch.

Cool cheers for that. What about stack forfeiting? Is that allowed or is that just special events like the GP?

offering a weekly guarantee which is bigger / as big as most UK ‘poker tour’ event guarantees (GUKPT, GPS, 25/25 etc). 

appreciate your long held views on the seats as part of prizepool. for a lot of players its been a popular innovation. for some, not at all.

highest stack through (so a player could try different day 1s if unhappy with a small stack for day 2)

its £400 min cash for making day 2, but 1 x £400 per person. NOT a min cash per stack as the Grand Prix has been

Sure it is amazing and 99% of punters will love it.  £100k weekly in Nottingham for £200 is some effort to maintain.  Basically like running the original deepstack from ten years ago every single week instead of monthly for a buy in 1/3 cheaper.  Is it just for January or going to be run every single month on that rotating 4 weekly format for the longer term?

Surely the format is designed to put a halt to the growing 25/25 bandwagon which runs on a weekly basis around the country right?  Same buy in 4 times the gtd and the option to play day 1 at home and only turn out on Sunday live if you have to.  Lot of advantages over the 25/25 format imo.

Is there direct buy-in to day two for these?

Had to log in to say this is absolutely incredible, DTD really are the best there has ever been.

Wish these were around 5 years ago when I first started playing I'd have been there every single weekend. With all the satellites and freeroll programmes anyone with an interest in poker has 40+ chances a year to win a years wages from pennies.

Small enough for anyone to get into and £20k+ ftw big enough for more serious players to travel for day two spades having already cashed for £400.
