    It is quite a schedule, and I am sure it will be well supported.  It does, though look as though the number of runners are fixed.  It is likely that most of the semis will be 1 in 10 as indicated for leg 1 and as we players all know it can be very tough to qualify, eg 29 runners, only 2 qualify etc.  I am sure it would be helpful (and appreciated) if, when deciding whether to try and qualify, an indication of the tournament structure was available.

    Thanks in anticipation.

    Direct buy-in for each event will be available in the lobby but not immediately.
    We will announce when direct buy-in is available.

    The venues may have some seats available to buy-in on the door but you would have to contact them directly to find out.

    Regards

    1 day events will be 5,000 and 30 minute clock as this year

    2 day events either 10 or 15,000 and a 40 minute clock. Looking at 15k for the Six Max and 10k for the 10 handed games, I think

    Most pressure will be on the Six max qualification with 180 seats, 150 in the lobby now and going to be very popular

    the majority of seats will be for satellite qualification on sky poker

    then direct buy in on Sky Poker, as mentioned above

    then a live satellite at the venue

    I highly doubt any venue will have seats left to sell after those three routes to playing in

    All events will see alternate entries for at least 2 levels after the start of play

    Awesome 2011 - 2012 Schedule, I'll play every one* if I can. *not Glasgow, I'll be at Brighton so multitabling live in different countries would be a challenge.

    each player will have a Bounty chip accompanying their chip stack

    when they are knocked out their chip passes to the player who knocks them out

    They then take the chips they have claimed for knocking players out to the Sky Poker desk where I or a colleague notes down their alias and the number of bounties

    the money is then paid into their account the following Monday

    Bounties will be £50 each, with £150 of the £200 buy in going to the Prize Pool

    Not sure if I have read the above posts correctly, but I am interested in the Brighton venue, but not too sure how to get into it. If I dont win a place or whatever through playing on here, how would it be possible to attend this event, if at all, or is it just purely winning seats through games.

    A couple of friends are interested in playing but I am not sure they play on here, is it possible for them to enter?

    All of the Individual legs, except the final, are satellite qualification only

    Apart from alternates on the day, that's the way to enter the tournament through one of the nightly semi-finals

    It's up to your friends to sign up, play and qualifiy the same way too
