Will participating players have to sign a TV waiver?

Will there be a TV table operating at all times throughout the tourney, and if so will players be required to get rigged up for it (mikes and the like).

Will there be cameras at this table or will the coverage just be people wandering around with handhelds, until the final table which will be recorded on a special table?

Hello 5starpool,

Full details will be released in the next 48 hours. I myself have not seen the full contract details and do not wish to post any mis information. I will be in Galway for the Winter Festival on Wednesday and we will be discussing this at a meeting before hand.

Sorry I cannot answer your queries at present, but will as soon as I can

Regards

As long as its not the same as the TV coverage for the IPT final. Despite TV cameras rolling, and a big dwell up for allins etc they never showed one hand of poker throughout the whole episode. Just interviews before and after and crappy analysis.

I know its a different company covering it but dont lead people up the garden path. i'd be interested to hear the answers to 5stars questions

There will be a hour long programme made covering the event. This will be aired on SkyPoker which will launch late January.
