Thankyou Tikay for ur kind donation, I think the top 20 freeroll is a great idea. I also think that Chris, Michael and Hitman should automatically be entered to reward all the hard work they put in each week. Posted by waller02
A big +1 to this.
Thanks to tikay for such an excellent gesture which hopefully bring even more players into the DTD fold.

Morning Wally. (That sounds rude, but is not intended that way!).
Do you mean entered into the "Top 20 Freeroll"?
That is one of those lovely, idealistic, ideas which are harder to do than we might at first think. I'm not sure it would be right & proper on the players who qualify 18th, 19th & 20th to effectively exclude them from the "Final".
Everything is set now, subject to any changes between now & the beginning of September.
I spoke with Joe at the Office on Wednesday, & he is fine with setting up the "Private" Freeroll Final on the Friday, all as agreed on this thread, he is happy to use the payout structure that Chris & Michael proposed, & we have sorted out the cash transfer.
One thing not mentioned or discussed yet - what structure should be used for the Top 20 Freeroll thing?
Chris & Michael to decide, but I'm sure they would appreciate your feedback. Seems to me the regular structure used for Forum DTD would be right & proper - yes, no?

Any thoughts from others on this? Posted by Tikay10 Morning Tikay,
I don't know all 3 guys that well but I am sure they would be embarrased by the gesture & would all prefer to qualify for the "Final" on merit.
i am not saying the don't deserve to be rewarded, but I feel their reward should be far greater than a seat in this freeroll, I personally would rather pay a slightly higher rake on the 3 x DTD weekly events & that revenue then be used to put all 3 guys in the SPT grand final at the end of the year, i am not sure on the figures but you would only be talking pennies which would be a small price to pay for the enjoyment they provide every week.

Thanks Tikay for all the work u have done on this much appreciated, also would be great if we could use the Forum DTD Structure
Thanks all for the gesture of adding me to the freeroll but I agree with tikay it wouldn't be fair to those that came 18th, 19th & 20th so i shall try & qualify the normal route gl to all.

+1 to this, as we enter the same as everyone else, we have just as much ( well maybe not me lol) chance of qualifying as all players who take part.
Also agree with both Michael and Tikay regarding the structure
also once again thanks to tikay for the fantastic gesture and work he has put into making this happen

Well it is settled then.
It says a lot about you two guys being happy to try and qualify for the freeroll even after all the hard work you put in each and every week.....TOP BLOKES THE PAIR OF YOU!
(by the way I want a recount if you do end up qualifying)
Can I just chip in on structure? The 8.30 (former totty) is better than the standard deep stack structures that are used for the other two DTD tourns imo, but down to Chris n Michael obv.
My 2p worth is that a deepstack structure would be best (to reflect the DTD structure).
Agree with previous posts re rewarding Scousey & bandit with a seat but not surprised to see that they turned it down - perhaps they can light the torch?
well guys the Forum DTD in September was the biggest ever, we consistently broke the weekly record for most number of players which now stands at 117..... and also the record for the most unique runners in any one month, which is now 183.
Thanks to the generosity of Tikay those who finished in the top 20 placings will be entered into the special freeroll.
thank you to all who played and to Sky Poker for their continued support of Forum DTD but especially tikay for his amazing gesture of support and continual backing.
Good morning, & congrats to the Super 20 who qualified. No flukes there, they had up to 12 Tourneys to play over 4 weeks, so well done all.
Now we need to get that Final Tourney sorted.
First up, this, as I understand it, is what we jointly agreed. There was lots of feedback & comment, but we all agreed that Michael & Chris had the casting vote.
THIS, below, was my Post on 24th July, in this thread (Page 2) to which, if I recall correctly, there was no dissent.....
"Good morning.
Chris wrote to me last night, on behalf of himself & Michael, they have had a chat, & a think, about this, & come up with the following.
The "Top 20" idea is agreed.
It will be based upon the regular Monday Night "Forum DTD's" in September, using the scoring system already in place. The Top 20 will qualify for the "Play Off".
The September "Forum DTD" dates will be.....
September 3rd
September 10th
September 17th
September 24th
They wish that ANYONE can enter these & qualify for the "Freeroll PlayOff", PROVIDING they play a minimum of three of the 4 nights in September.
The Play Off, for the Top 20 from that League, will take place on Friday 28th September, as they think most Forum-DTD-ers are on site that night, playing the Orfordable.
Payout structure? They believe, based on the ethos of the Forum DTD, that EVERYONE should get a payout if they qualify for the Top 20 Play-Off, as follows....( I have not checked the maths).
Before I toddle off & get the Tourney set up & everything, I have one proposal to make.
I am not going to explain my thought process, as you can all work it out.
I'd like that we add ONE extra runner to Friday's "Final" - DTW Bandit.
If agreed, I will add £4.20 to the current proposed Prize Pool, as that is the sum that 20th was due to get. Instead, if we proceed on this basis, 21st will also get £4.20.
IF YOU OBJECT, please PM me, as if you say as much on the thread, even with good reason, it may come across as churlish, & the last thing we want after a month of great fun is a bit of bad blood amongst you.
If there are no dissenters by tomorrow morning, we will go ahead with 21 runners - the 20 who qualified by right, + Michael, aka DTW Bandit.
