UKPC Saturday- 12pm & 4pm Day 1s {please read below}
I have just finished a meeting with Simon and the DTD Team regarding Saturday's UKPC schedule. They are faced with the following logistical problem:
400 + qualifiers have selected to play Saturday Day 1 which uses 45 tables out of the 50 available dealing 9 handed, because of the deep structure by the end of late reg only 10% of these players will have been eliminated, so the maximum players that can be seated during late reg is less than 100. We normally get 250-300 DBIs on the last Day 1 for UKPCs, so we need to deal to 650-700 tomorrow.
Simon and the DTD Team's answer to this problem is to cram the Club with 15 extra tables and deal the event 10 handed and extend late registration by 4 levels, which means that they would be able to seat up to 600 players and another 100 during late reg.
I have personally overruled everyone. I do not want any players (qualifiers or DBIs) queuing for hours, being cramped and being forced to enter into a premium event with < 50BBs. So I have instructed the following;
Day 1 12PM - all Sky qualifiers are in from the start and DTD qualifiers have first option to enter with no waiting. DBI players have the option to wait for seats in the 12pm Day 1 OR can enter the 4pm Flight and start with the same stack as the 12pm players which is much fairer. If any qualifiers wish to move to 4pm, please contact Nicola Veitch on Facebook.
Day 1 4PM - This will late reg till 8.40pm and finish at 3am, Day 2 starts Sunday 1pm, so players have a 10 hour turnaround.
* The 8-Max will now move to a 7pm start, 9 levels played which will finish at 1:40am for a 2pm Day 2 start on Sunday.
This is the first time we have offered a Saturday Day 1 so we now know that 90% of qualifiers will choose Saturday going forward and can plan accordingly, I would rather the DTD Team work harder tomorrow so the place isn't chaos and uncomfortable for players - yes we have a big club - but 65 tables with no marquee is way too much to deal a premium event at the club, and 10 handed is not a product that we should be offering, buying in at < 50BB because there are not seats avaliable not acceptable.

Well done with this TK. I think the additional flight, whilst not ideal, is better than the propose alternative.
Can you confirm for sure that the UKPC Main Event Day2 on Sunday will be a 1pm start and not as originally scheduled as 12.00.
In Response to Re: Blog: Sky Poker £1m GTD UKPC Main Event Day Ones : Thanks TK. Just for clarification. If a player busts the 12pm, I take it that they are NOT allowed to enter the 4pm. Cheers, Graham Posted by StayOrGo
absolutely they are.
thats not the primary aim of it, which is to fit everyone in comfortably, but yes you can

I'm not too fussed personally but it does feel like that goes against the idea that Saturday would be played like a freezeout as that's what recs seemed to want.
Anyway, just wanted to confirm, will the midday flight tomorrow play 10handed all day?

Well it's nice in a way that the Sky players can potentially have two bullets.
I just hope that not too many buy in again and lose £1,100 that is outside their bankroll.
However I guess it is their choice at the end of the day.

No, the Noon flight is not going to be played 10 handed at any stage, that's partly the idea of creating the additional flight, to AVOID playing 10 handed.
hi top updates as always im russing to get there for 12 tom will be better for me to be put in 4pm is this possible i should be arriving about 12.30 at casino i resigned myslef to lossing some chips. if possible put me in 4pm or even better let me late reg the 12pm but seems waiting list will be too long.

Hi Dog Bloke,
I'm pretty sure we can arrange for you to play the 4pm flight if that suits you better.
Come see Tighty, Sam or myself when you arrive, & I'm sure we can transfer you from the Noon flight to the 4pm flight.
PLEASE CONFIRM TO ME BY PM OR HERE THAT YOU WANT TO PLAY THE 4PM FLIGHT, in case your chips are placed in play for the Noon flight - once that happens we can't take them off. If we receive written confirmation tonight that you prefer the 4pm Flight, everything will be cool.
The DEFAULT, unless it is changed by you tonight, is that your chips will be in play in the Noon Flight.

Just to emphasise, this does not affect the Sky Poker qualifiers.
Their scheduled start time remains 12 Noon, exactly as originally stated.
longer turnaround for those that finish late satruday

Hi Graham,
Yes, in case of confusion, the start time on Day 2, Sunday, is now 1pm (1300), not Noon (1200) as previously advertised.
The huge proportion of players who preferred the Saturday Day One was quite an eye-opener, but it has caused a bottleneck.
^^^^
Not as far as I am aware, Graham, no.
thats not the primary aim of it, which is to fit everyone in comfortably, but yes you can
