Hey Carlo, if your hall is free, would you not consider starting this at 2pm or so.

No need to finish early in the morning if it can be finished earlier??

Four of a kind

We tried that at our first event. Went for a 4pm start...but it was nearly 6pm before anyone turned up. Ended up having 54runners but if we started at 4pm as planned, we would have struggled to have one full table. I think its just the way people are around here. But I'll say it to the other lads about an earlier starting time, as it would appeal to others(like yourself) who have to travel abit....and who plan on making the final table

I personnally think an earlier starting time would be better. What would you think of 4pm?

I'll post here with the update on that.

Culchie

I hear ya.

6pm is probably best for you alright.

Heard good things about this tourney and hope to make it. Is there a bar in this hall?

Culchie

Yes there is Mike.

It is a well run tourney, the lads are sounds as well.

Gets a bit fast around levels 5-8 or so, but seems to ease off again.

Yes there is a bar in the hall, but we are having trouble getting a publican to get a licence to serve alcohol over there. Supposedly you need a fresh license each time an event is there to serve alcohol....which is about 200euro a pop. So thats where we run into difficulty with getting a full bar set up. Trying to sort some kind of deal out but the publicans reckon there's more minerals drank at these poker events than alcohol.

Any suggestions? Always open to making our events better.

lol!!:eek:

Yeah, we'd have a full bar facility if we could get a publican to get a license sorted out....but they're not interested! Unless of course it was celtic poker tour that was running the event...with a guaranteed 200 runners at it!!

Unfortunately, we only get an average of 60+ players.

I made a mistake with blind levels. Its 30 mins for first 2 levels, then 25 mins until finish.
