This is slightly misleading (although I'm sure it probably wasn't meant to be) - there are actually 11 day 1's, 7 live and 4 ONLINE running on DTD's site. I think it's only fair that people are made aware of all the facts if they intend on playing this as it will have an effect on the number of players expected through to day 2, and also provides more opportunities for a player to make a different day 1 if they can't make others etc.

That's fair comment, Mr Repton, slightly misleading, but not deliberate as such.
There's a peculiar dynamic at work here, which explains part of the reason.
Both DTD & Sky Poker run Online Poker Sites, & neither party really wants to drive traffic to the other, for obvious reasons.
We have a super relationship with Rob & his Team at DTD, but as a general rule, there is a sort of Gentleman's agreement in place - we don't promote their Online stuff too much, & they don't promote ours. There are exceptions, but thats the gist of it. We do, of course, promote their "Live" satellites & events connected to UKPC.
It's not something players generally consider, but if you think about it, it's quite a delicate balance we both have to strike.
Fortunately, irrespective of contractual obligations & all the legal rigmarole both parties have entered into, we both promote the Event in the right spirit, & as fairly as we are able.
To give some idea of the complexity of these things, this week alone DTD gave sent me over 40 e-Mails. I then, after adding my comments & views, send them to the Sky Poker Suits, who then reply accordingly, & so it goes on. In total, over 100 e-Mails about the UKPC have crossed my desk this week alone.
Rob Yong, who owns DTD, tends to send his e-Mails at between 3am & 5am every day, & so that's generally my first job, to deal with them. He's quite a stickler for prompt replies, too, if I ever ignore or "miss" one of his notes, he soon lets me know.....
Fingers crossed, the UKPC, which is held at DTD, will win the British Poker Award "Best UK Tournament", & Rob & his Team at DTD will enjoy some reflected credit for it.
Appreciate your correction, & I hope my reply explains the peculiar dynamics at work here.
Quick question. Sorry if it's been asked already... Can we buy directly into the mini event yet? If not when will this be possible, as I expect day 1F which I want to play will be very popular and I'd like to bag my seat before it sells out!

Hi Charles & Susan,
You can only buy-in to the Mini at present via the Host Venue.
Day 1F is the first of 2 Flights on Saturday 21st, so yes, it will be quite busy I imagine.
Flight 1G is the 2nd Flight on the same day, & Flight 1H (which is a Turbo-Wurbo Flight) willl be on Sunday 22nd at 11am.
So just at DTD itself and not on their online platform? Also, is the mini a re-entry? Thanks Posted by FlashFlush
Oh I see - I'm not sure, to be honest, I would think you can buy via their Online Shop, but I'm not 100% certain. I'll ask the question today, & get back to you.
Is the Mini a Re-Entry? Yes Sirree!
All the UKPC Events in February permit a single re-entry per day, up to Level 6, & of course, rinse repeat on following opening days if needed.
The first link shows days 1E and 1F on Saturday 21st, with the kick off times as 12:00 and 17:00 respectively. This also tallys with the information on the DTD website, and the days available to buy into in the shop.
The second link shows days 1F and 1G on Saturday 21st, with start times of 14:00 and 19:00, and this ties in with a comment Tikay posted above about 1F being the early flight on the Saturday.
Comments
please can you tell me how many day one are in the main event and can you pick any one
thanks ebberdon
4 day ones for the main
tikay might correct me on this, but last time sky poker qualifiers were placed into the final day one.
