The Forum DTD Extender! (***OFFICIAL THREAD***)

PLEASE NOTE: REGISTRATION HAS NOW CLOSED

A new Monday-night league for the month of September...

Put simply, it's an extension to the Forum DTD, adding the 8pm main event and the 8:15pm mini event to the mix. That's right, five tournaments in one night. Multi-tabling mayhem ftw!

Want to play? Your performance in all five events will be assessed, giving you a weekly  "score" - and it's your best three "scores" that count.


Here are the rules:

* You need to register for The Extender in this thread. Registration closes at 7pm on Monday 12th September.

* The league runs on Monday nights from 5th - 26th September inclusive.

* You must play all five tournaments (the three DTD events, the 8pm main event and the 8:15pm mini event) to earn a qualifying score.

* You must play at least three out of the four weeks that the promotion is running to qualify for the league.

* You will be scored on your finishing position in each tournament, so a low score is a good score.


And the prizes:

* Everyone who finishes above me in the final league table will receive free entry to the Forum DTD on Monday 3rd October.

* The overall champion will receive free entry to the Forum DTD for every Monday in October PLUS free entry to the 8pm main event for the first week of the month (Monday 3rd - Sunday 9th October inclusive).

As ever, please ask if you have any questions.

    Yeah same here. Plus my BR doesn't really allow for this kinda MTT action every week.

    It’s a fun idea and cool prize but that’s over £30 in entry fees and then there’s the secondary costs like therapy and new pants.

    I don’t think the playing styles of bounty hunter and deepstack tournaments are complementary and the cross over play will infuriate regulars of both. The cool thing about the DTD is even though it’s cheap, people play tightly and respect a raise. I hope this addition (3/5) combined with the new DTD rules (best 2/3) doesn’t turn the evening into an over-agressive donkfest.

    Perhaps it would be better to start a new multi-table event rather than jeopardise the brilliant one which we have.

    Hi Poppy,

    I don't really understand how this promotion potentially "jeopardises" the Forum DTD.

    This is purely an extension to Michael and Chris's hugely successful weekly competition; it bolts onto it, rather than replaces it. The so-called Chuckle Brothers will still run the Forum DTD and if players only want to participate in those three tournaments, that's fine and dandy.

    This is a bit of added value for the action junkies who want to play a couple of extra events.

    I appreciate it's not for everyone - and that the cost and number of tables may put people off - but it remains an option for the willing and able.

    As I've said before, choice is a good thing.

    All the best,

    James.

    I can't see it being a problem tbh, if anything the DTD will gain a few more entrants.

    Great idea and as a few have said it could get a few new players in DTD...unfortunately there is absolutely no way I would be able to play 5 tables but good luck to all who do!

    Im not a killjoy but i agree with ploppy and poppy here as to me its kinda like hijacking what is already a fantastic event , surely ya coulda started a NEW event maybe incorporating MAIN EVENT , MINI MAIN EVENT and TSP CLASSIC ?? thats far more in line with the bankrolls of players that this would appeal to xxx
