buffet break 45 mins
I was wondering why the structure has changed from the one described in the lobby, it now seems we will be missing a fair few levels out?
Will I be allowed to wear my sponsored clothing?
Regards
James
The structure hasn't changed at all, we're using the DTD Deepstack structure as above. I expect the strucuture in the lobby is a notional one. The DTD Structure was advertised on this forum some months ago
Sponsored clothing. It's a Sky Poker event, covered by Sky Poker cameras. I reckon it would be desirable not to wear other poker company sponsored garb to the event
But i'm excited toooooooooooo
See you all in Nottingham
Desirable? does this mean not allowed or we would prefer u not too?
Prefer not to, is my view. I am seeking clarification
Certainly you wouldn't be featured on any footage to be shown on Ch865, or interviews...wearing an xyz Poker top
One of my sponsors is a pokersite which i can appreciate u not wanting to give advertisement too but the other is a sponsorship company with no affiliation to any pokersite or network. I would presume this is ok?
Roll on the weekend................
see you all there.
The clarification is as follows. That Sky won't stop other sponsors gear being worn, but you won't be featured on any tv coverage interviews if you do.
There's still Wednesday and Thursdays satellites to go in, the 10 seats guaranteed on Friday in the live satellite, plus any on the day buy in's.
I hope it is 45 min clock as 30 mins would suck!!!!!!!!!!

There not kisses lol !
Sky will not stop you wearing any sponsors tops but they, as Rich has already said, reserve the right not to show any rivals logos on the 865 channel. So as long as DTD allow you through the doors wear anything, just dont hope to get interviewed or be seen on the channel, simples.

Good luck guys
