is this a stanleys comp?

what i can say about stanleys is there staff are very friendly and willing to learn but are very inexperianced and need alot of practice before i would let them loose on a ranking event

also did i hear the emention of stairs? hope they have a lift

i doubt if i would be going though as i wouldn't be able to book till last minute making it expensive for flights and too far to drive

yep stanleys do have a lift,  and we have two  wheelchair users  who grace our poker room.
ditto the grosvenor btw for future  use.

Well I'm not sure what "closely monitored to reflect runners to give a fair crack  dependant on turnout" means

I think these things shoud be decided beforehand, its a 400 mile round trip for me plus 3/4 nights in a hotel I think I'm entitled to know what im gettin, or If changes are to be made, what those changes are likley to be.

IMHO, as ranking events the 100 rebuys should be 2x45 min at 25/50, 50/100 then 30 min throughout, and the 500 should be 45 min or 1 hour throughout

If it is changed on the day, or worse, mid comp, it will no doubt upset some players and please others.

I am very grateful for all your help

As there one day events they want results not just chip count! 'pro-active' means that the clock may be extended not shortened and to provide a better game for the players... james browning is helping the management out alot with the structures etc so i expacet player friendly comps!

500 event seems very good and the 100 comps run very well... think they'll be worth the trip up red-dog!

dealers are being sent over from manchester, so should be experienced!

camel was spotted scouting out the venue tonight! He was scouting his prey already!

hope to see you all this week

Please dont think I was criticising, i wasnt, but I did play in a comp earlier this year where the levels were shortend half way through

Feel better now you've told me what 'pro-active' means though

i did'nt think u were criticising red-dog, and if u were i'm not a local anyway! i agree that the events should have aslong a clock as possible! the management seem quite interested in the poker and are hoping to make poker work, so they will listen to the players to try and make it a success!
