-you don't have to be a Virgin SPT'r to join -


If you are a fellow SPT Virgin like me or not than post in here.....no need to be lonely at an SPT. It can be quite daunting going to an SPT for the 1st time espcially if your going on your Jack Jones, so post in here if you want to be part of this SPT Nottingham group. I myself will be going down Friday early evening and meeting up with some Sky regs at DTD or possibly at a pub but in true Sky style - the more the merrier.

Come down join in, don't be shy and don't be a stranger.

NOBODY IS LEFT BEHIND AT AN SPT !


Event info

The structure of the main event is as follows

30,000 chips, 40 minute clock
blind levels as the "Festival Structure" on http://www.dusktilldawncasinonottingham.com/tournamentstructure.php
14-15 levels on day one
starts 2pm Saturday and finishes mid to late evening Sunday, depending on number of runners

FESTIVAL STRUCTURE
Level S Blind B Blind Ante
1 50 100  
----
Don't forget you need to become a member of DTD, sign up through the website and then produce photo id such as driving licese, passort at DTD on arrival and they will give you a shiny membership card. You need this to be able to play.

There will be Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon competitions in the £25-£100 price range

SPT

When will direct buy in open for this event? 
Posted by kevod


I'm not sure but would guess mid July
DTD will also have an allocation of seats to buy in through DTD Online shop
Those who want to buy in direct will have no trouble doing so

Group Info

    Not a bad place to stay, price is good - but no breakfast :(
    Thinking about it - probs no point bringing laptop - going to be spending all weekend at DTD so....

    Don't think I am that confident in booking 3 nights though, even 2 nights was being slightly optimistic)

    Don't bother with the online stuff. Everyone at SPT's are so relaxed an SPT is like a pee up with old friends you haven't seen for ages. Plus DTD have side events going on all the time + they sometimes let us do SnG's, so just enjoy the live game and spend time with the regs, don't hide away playing online like you can every other day.

    Hi rancid

    Good luck mate in Nottingham - I stayed in Birmingham - first time I stayed over for an spt and it was superb, if anything I drank far to much and it was like your first holiday away from the parents as a teenager.

    The atmosphere and the the whole community are amazing and friendly and it makes it much more personal when you play the players online after as you can actually recognise them from having a drink with them on an spt - excellent people and meeting the sky presenters was an absolute pleasure - still trying to qualify for Notts, but will be going regardless and buy in direct if needed, alongside the side events makes it an amazing weekend.

    Good luck mate - see you at the bar!!!!

    Yo, congrats -  I am going down Friday - DTD have normal MTT & cash on a Friday.
    Going to be a lot of Sky people at DTD on Friday night drinking and playing.

    Nothing been finilaised but there may be a meet at the bar inside DTD or pub in the city centre or something community based.

    Either way I'll keep people informed if you want to join my SPT Virgin group )
