    Its a one dayer

    7500 and 30 minutes for the last one in Luton (up from 5000 and 30 which was too crapshooty) with extra levels put in

    As ever with these one dayers, got to get a winner by 2am latest and 180 runners to get through so its a balance between that and a playable structure

    Yeah no worries, I realise it won't be a super slow/deep structure as it's a one day. Just wanted to check if you'd be continuing with the changes that were made for Luton, which I'm glad to see you are.

    Great to see all of you will be coming to Birmingham. If anyone needs hotel rooms then I can arrange them. About a 10 minute drive from the venue. Conveniently the hotel is joined on to Hall Green Greyhound Stadium. Feel free to email me if you need a room sorting. Email address is :- shaun.stait@sky.com

    No need for anyone else to confirm, I know what I did

    It was upped as soon as Luton was announced, not at the last minute


    whipit I have seen your PM but can't reply at the mo, technical difficulty

    If you don't qualify this weekend write to me again and I will see what I can do

    CTBN, I have just booked the Premier Inn, it is the Birmingham Broad Street (Canal Side)
    20     Bridge Street, think their site says its just over a mile away so not too bad. These business accounts are great arent they, LOL. Share a cab with us if you like, you will need to make the final table though as I am going to LOL

    hi guys, i know there is no direct buy-in at the moment, what i would like to know is if there definately will be a direct buy-in and if so when is it likely to be available?

    thanks

    It's never definite unfortunately.

    It will only go up for direct BI (via the Sky software) if they don't get the 120 runners to meet the cap from the online satellites.

    If it meets the cap and seats are not available online for direct BI, there are live satellites at the casino, and there will almost certainly be an alternates list on the day. This is essentially where they take a list of names and anyone that busts in the first couple of levels can be 'replaced' by someone on that list, so get there early and get your name at the top of the list :)

    Broadway has seats for Live satellites

    Alternates on the day or, of course

    You'd have to speak to Customer Care (live chat) about possibly transferring the seat if you can't make it, there's no guarantee they'll let you though.

    If you qualify a 2nd time while already being registered then you won't actually get 'a seat', you'll be given the £110 cash, which I guess you could just give to a friend to let him BI if you wanted.

    the first one is one for customer care. Answer is almost always no, that I am aware of

    the second one is no, only qualify once

    Does this mean you think that that it's unlikely to open direct buyin for this event through the sky lobby?

    Yes exactly.

    Not a certainty to sell out via satellite qualifiers/live satellites, but likely

    Turn up on the day with Photo ID, as you will need to sign in as a member at the casino

    I will put a Player Briefing with timings etc on this board at the end of the week
