We only need confirmation for the TEAM EVENT in order to see how we can go about setting up the team event,
People please declare if you are A) definitely coming , B) very likely to come, or C) might come.
Venue - Dusk Till Dawn, Nottingham
Team Event Start Time - 1pm (arrival) game will start at 2pm but we need you there in advance for several reasons. Buy in to team event: £50 STT format
Main Event Start Time - 5.30pm Buy in to team event: £112 (Subject to change as this is driven by Dusk Till Dawn) STT format
There will be added value and prizes (Courtesy of Betfair) and the added value from Betfair will be added to the team event in the form of cash rewards, online tickets and or seats into the Main Event. In addition, we will have a last the longest payout for the Main Event which will be on offer only to players who took part in both the team & main events (that way it doesnt go to DTD regs, but remains within the Betfair circle).
Once we know who is going to be there, we will determine how teams will be determined. If we have 30 or so, I expect teams to be random, if we get 50+, we probably try having pre declared teams.
PLAYERS WILL HAVE TO BUY INTO A HOLDING TANK FOR THE TEAM EVENT SO THAT THERE IS A COMMITMENT TO TURN UP / PLAY. Holding tank will close a week before.
Ya know, I might come. Haven't seen any forumites in ages, don't even post here now I'm a stars grinder but why not.
If people I wanna see are going I'll make the effort.

What could possibly be more important than this? I will only accept that you were attending your own funeral as an excuse anything else is unacceptable!
Inevitably a few will be affected with any chosen date so a vote would not really resolve the problem. Last year went to votes and that did not really work. I had to travel to Portsmouth over my wifes birthday weekend and was disappointed - loads voted (skwed the voting) and did not turn up.
Gone for neutral venue, central location and a guaranteed decent field size for main event to make any travelling worth while. The date was chosen by venue availability.

Aye, I remember that farce last time lol. Sod's law I could only make the date not chosen then :( Am on holiday for this one too. Not been to support my fav site for about 3 years now, will have to try again next time :)

Ideally we need between 8 and 10 teams so that we have 8-10 handed stt's
We will know about two weeks before but if i know 40+ are deff coming, I think set teams will be more practical.
There are a few people I know will be coming that have not yet posted here.

I meant to state: Main Event Start Time - 5.30pm Buy in: £112 (Subject to change as this is driven by Dusk Till Dawn) MTT format kindly note that there should be over 150+ players as dtd regs will take part as well. 10,000 chips and 30 min clock.
The team STT event will have 5000 chips and a 10 min clock which means it could last up to about 2-2.5hrs.

team event = betfair types only (plus some family friends i suppose)
main event = betfair types plus DTD regulars
will betfiar be adding anything to the main event betfair winners prizes?
will there be buffet, drinks, strippers?
can strip if the price is low enough and the girls dont turn up tho
i want to come to thisbut i'm not sure if i canwill update later on, prolly around june timeand just to confirmteam event = betfair types only (plus some family friends i suppose)main event = betfair types plus DTD regularswill betfiar be adding anyt
team event = betfair types only (plus some family friends i suppose) CORRECT
main event = betfair types plus DTD regulars CORRECT
will betfair be adding anything to the main event betfair winners prizes? There is total added value of about £2500 for Betfair types only of which £1500 will be distributed through the team event, and the remaining £1000 in the main event (to betfair types only).
Team event will probably offer the added value as seats to the main event (so about 12 of them) and the main events added value will probably be in the form of a last the longest table something along the lines of 400/300/200/100 for 1st - 4th or 500/300/200 for 1st to 3rd depending on numbers
will there be buffet, drinks, strippers? A buffet is being planned between the team event and the main event (so roughly between 4.30 & 5.30pm). There will be a drinks tab as well, roughly worth about 5 beers per person (but that will depend largely on the number of betfair types that turn up). DTD drinks prices are not the cheapest, I think a beer is about £3
No strip show im afraid, although if we ply Kunoba with enough alcohol to make him drunk (about 3 beers worth), im sure we can convince him. There used to be a strip club next door to DTD, but I believe thats now changed and is just a normal club now - ive never been, so cannot tell you what to expect.
I sense between 40 - 50 players will turn up for the team event. Subject to general consensus from the forum, I would welcome forumites bringing a friend along.
DTD has a self spinning roulette wheel with plenty of roulette machines to bet on, access to online poker and there are a number of options within 500 yards of the place including a huge cinema complex, ten pin bowling alley, laser wars and dining options.

apples is a B++++, leaning towards an A closer to the date, potentially i may have another career change ahead so cannot confirm that date being free just yet
Dinos, could do with making this into a list type jobber, number of players, and get the buy in sorted asap in the lobby so folks can put their money where their keystrokes are
love ya big fella!!!!

form of a last the longest table Will bring my pasting table easily 12ft long, should give me a shout.
DTD has a self spinning roulette wheel Blimey a wheel that spins, didn't know they were aware of centrifugal force so far north.
A buffet is being planned between the team event and the main event (so roughly between 4.30 & 5.30pm). Now I'm confused, which is it, team event or 4.30.
I sense between 40 - 50 players will turn up So 45 it is then.
On a serious note, hope it's a success to repay all the time and effort you appear to put into these events. Count me in as a definite.

Hi guys Been distracted with things but have not forgotten or ignored the requests to sort out the details - i will update the thread soon and pull names together of those coming / likely to come.
The response is quite positive so far - im confident about 40 of the familiar betfair types will be lurking about at DTD on 30 July!!! :D
I Love Playing Poker will now be sponsoring the main event as well - and a small satelite to win packages to the days games will be played on betfair about a week before.

I was a C and I changed it to a B - as I have now booked the train tickets you better make me an A. I might only be there for the Team event though as I need to be back home on the Sunday.
