Hey everyone,

Today we are trialing a new tournament at 5pm.

The £500 Guaranteed Re-buy tournament will be £5.50 to enter, and have LATE REGISTRATION for 30 minutes.

There will be unlimited re-buys for the first hour with one add-on in the add-on period.

Go to the lobby now to try it out.

This is a trial run and hopefully will be a success, let us know how the game played and any recommendations that you have :)

    I was just about to say I don't finish till 5pm - but its times like these that the late reg comes into its own.

    I will probable reg at 5.45pm after getting home from work, thus having a full stack 45mins into the game. Blind levels will have increased enough to make getting involved in a pot worth while and I still have enough time for a re-buy and add on.

    Quick Question........
    Will the add on period be 1 hour and 40mins  after the start? (Similar to the Friday Main Re-buy)

    Hey PokerTrev,

    Thanks for the feedback. We will credit your account with £5.50 so that you can late reg into the tournament when you get home from work!

    The add on period will not be the same as the Friday night re-buy, it will be 1 hour after the start time.

    Let us know how you found the tournament,

    Thanks again,
    Joe

    WOW - Cheers Sky Joe.

    You must have posted your offer of a FREE entry just seconds before I finished typing mine as I wasn't aware of it until I had posted.

    Cheers for the FREE Entry - I will let you know how it goes and what I think of it.

    Regards
    Pokertrev.

    We have cut down the add-on break from 3 minutes to 2 minutes, let us know your feedback, and whether you prefer having 3 minutes or just the 2 :)

    5pm start means the addon break is litterally right after the synchronised break so 2 minutes is more than adequate, should have already have my coffee / topilet break by then :)

    Hi Sky Joe
    Unfortunately, I missed the late reg for this due to traffic, I got home at 5.40 and the late reg had ended. Although I did initially think the late reg was 1hr and not 30mins, but got this confused with the add on period.

    Will there be another one Today? if so i'll reg for that instead.

    Is this on today? Couldn't play it yesterday but was looking forward to a crack @ it today I think it's a great solution to the tea-time tourny problem.

    Decent gtd PP, and a small buy in. 

    Obviously get rid of the £50 gtd one at the same time.

    I see the 1k freezeout is back today though?

    Hey DOHHHHHHHH,

    The £500 Rebuy tournament at 5pm will not run when the £1k Guaranteed does run.

    This means on Mon-Thurs the rebuy will run and on Fri-Sun the £1k Guaranteed will run at the teatime slot of 5pm :)

    Hope this answers your question.

    Obviously this is just a trial run of these tournaments at this time, but as ever, I will let you all know if we change it.

    Thanks,
    Joe
