The WPT are aware of Dusk Till Dawn and I know that they are interested in the UK as a potential location, whether it be at DTD or another venue. I and other people have spoken to various people at the WPT but only on a casual basis. I expect to invite them over when the club is complete and start discussions with them at that point. As for exclusivity, I do not think the WPT will be able to ask for this is Europe, there are not the venues available to place this pre-requisite in Europe (ask the EPT), unlike the US, where there is an abundance of venues. I want DTD to be a facility available to a range of potential tournamant organisors, so I won't be agreeing to any exclusivity clauses, but I don't think we would need to.

I have also spoken to John Duffy at the EPT and given him the floorplan. Again, he wants to see the facility when it is finished and he is always looking for potential venues accross Europe, I guess we are one of a few he may consider in the future. The EPT is growing from strength to strength, runners are increasing and the comps are getting better and better run. I think I could definatley work with John in the future, but nothing is cast in stone here either.

We have also talked to other tournament organisors, including the big web sites, who are looking for "legal" live venues in the UK that can take large fields. Again, I am interested in this. For example, I would be interested in working with The Willam Hill Grand Prix, Ladrokes Poker Million, Paddy Power etc but again, they need to see the quality of the venue. In summary, I would love DTD to hold 3 major festivals  (an EPT, a WPT, and  a "DTD X") plus host 6 other major events..........we'll have to see what happens........

I also think there is potential to work with other poker clubs in the UK such as Gutshot, but I have not investigated this yet.
