    Hi,

    As SPT notes, no, only for the Main Event.

    Just wanted to add that currently, Party Poker/DTD are not planning on running any Online Satellites to the UKPC. They may run a few Live Super Sats near the time though.

    Hope to see you there, should be a grand do.

    Hi Gary,

    If John Gale can win a WSOP Turbo at 61 years of age, I might just try & win a 6-Max. Stranger things have happened. Not much, mind......

    Thanks Alan.

    I've been having a mainly non-poker holiday until today, but that's over now, & today I start playing daily.

    Three exclamation marks is too many? No, ONE is usually too many. As a general rule, one per 5,000 words is about right.

    Just google this.....

    "why exclamation marks are bad"

    There are scores of results, here's a typical one.....

    https://messageandmuse.wordpress.com/2013/11/27/why-exclamation-marks-are-not-your-friend/

    Once you peruse that, it's job done, it makes so much sense. 

    So when I see a Forum Thread title that includes "!!!!!" or "?????" I rarely open it.

    There have been some tweaks to structures to give the players a better experience;

     - changed both Main Event Flights to 40 min Clocks Day 1's (instead of 45 and 30), this is equivelent to 60 minutes of a full ring game

    - given the Mini players a 40 minute clock throughout

    - change the Day 1 Turbos to a 20 minute clock

    - reduced late reg to 6 levels on main event and mini

    - made some small time changes

    these will be on the full schedule on the landing page later today

    A question, in the unlikely event I qualify for the 6 max on Sky it appears I cannot make the Friday, which unfortunately is when All the Sky qualifiers are registered. Is it possible to have an entry changed to the thursday?

    Yes we can do that for you. We'd prefer Friday but of course it might not suit some

    fire a message with real name/sky alias/date of qualification my way and i will make the adjustment when we get to DTD

    You can buy in on the day if you wish, though be careful, it's 6-Max, which severely limits capacity, so if you buy in on the last Day One, you may find yourself on a long Alternates list.

    As we saw in the WSOP Main Event, & previous UKPC's, players much prefer the "last" Day One, so be careful as capacity is much curtailed in 6-Max.

    I would have thought so, yes.

    Note there are TWO Day One Flights on the Thursday, 1pm (Late Reg until 5.20pm) & 6pm (Late Reg until 10.40pm).

    Well done Alex.

    Hotels? Most stay at either the Castle Marina Holiday Inn, or the Premier Inn, also on Castle Marina.
     
    For a cheaper option, there are loads of B & B's in Nottingham.

    Please note you'll need to catch a taxi to & from DTD (unless you have your own transport), so it's best to stay where other players are staying, as you can share taxis.

    There is not really any accommodation within walking distance.
