The main news is that I have recruited 4 more individuals to help with DTD, I have called these people "DTD Executives". They are:
Paul "Maybaya Kid" Zimbler
Carlo "The Dwell" Citrone
Kev "Jonny Walker" O'Connell
Michael "don't call me pepe" Greco
DTD will sponsor these players for main events, buy-ins, hotels and flights, but the players will keep 100% of their prize money. The players can mix and match their events as long as the final table is televised in the UK, or they may just choose to play the events on the DTD Tour (see below).
6 EPT's
EPT Final Monte Carlo
WSOP Main Event
WPT Paris
Amsterdamn Masterclassics
The "DTD Tour", which Chubbs will manage, is made up of DTD live and online qualifiers and various other DTD players including myself, Action Jack, The Shrew and Aces Trumper.
These 4 DTD Executives have been selected by me personally, each for different qualities, and they will have certain responsiblities and targets to help DTD be successful. DTD will be expecting them to be far more than sponsored pros, they will be part of the DTD team, but are being remunerated with tournament buy-ins and expenses rather than a regular monthly wage.These people will be exclusively marketing DTD and will have no other affiliations with any other poker businesses.
So, the DTD team is still growing, I am currently in negotiations with a full time Press Officer to work for Action Jack reporting on the DTD Tour and dealing with all PR for the club and site, Action will also be looking for a web site administrator in the near future aswell. Yes, I agree, I am putting in significant resource into DTD before it even opens, but this is necessary to deliver the product we want to provide.
How do I feel at the moment?.............. busy, but clear on what needs to be done.
