Well put.

TommyGunne

Sounds good. Will there be cash as well as SNGs?

cooker3

How do you plan to get trained dealers on all tables?

TommyGunne

Another question! How many runners/teams are expected?

well ur unemployed and can deal - so thats one dealer...

rayfitz

TommyGunne: For the S&G's we will be providing cards, chips & tables so its entirely up to whoever is taking part on format, buy-in etc etc. We have resources for 200 runners so hopefully we will get that amount pre-registered in the coming weeks . Hope to have as many teams as possible from different colleges nationwide so I'd imagine there could be around 25-30 teams.

Cooker3: We plan on recruiting any suitable dealers from within DCU and externally and BoylePoker will assist us in this matter.

you sound like you're a college student anyway!

i imagine they will be asked to deal, and then paid for their services.

I think the link just tells you where you'll find your nearest BoyleSports branch. Once you are in the shop say DCUMasters2008 to the teller, fill out the form, pay your 50 euro and Bob's your Uncle. I'll get Ray to clarify this asap as he's the one who has been communicating with them. Ok?

lol
Details for the team event are still being ironed out at the minute but it looks like it'll be 5 members to a team with no limit to the number of teams per college. Basically any 5 players from the one college can form a team. So if you wanna organise one go right ahead!

I expect an official announcement on the Team Event sometime next week so stay tuned.

pilot1087

yeh thats great..thanks

I'll probably register tomorrow.. are you expecting the places to fill quickly? I'm in Dcu and was just chattin to a couple of mates from DIT and they reckon they won't be able to register till the end of next week

nuttlys

Looks deadly lads! Finally a tournament where I will unmask the true professional stirring beneath!

AdMMM

If any college has a clubs and societies office (or whatever their comparable entity is) like ours, then chances are that press release will never reach who it should.

RexHamilton

Hey, I'm just finished college in NUI, Galway, and am going back to college in Marino at the end of this month. I want to register for the tournament and will be a student at the time of the event, but don't have my student number and stuff from my new college. Can i register with my old NUI, Galway student number? I don't want to wait to register in case it's full by the time i get my new number.

Of course you can still register. The old number will be fine.

why do u have to be 18+?

It's part of our contract with the college. They've no problem funding us as long as we're not encouraging underage gambling. I'm sure there's a law about it too? No doubt someone will clarify.

phantom_lord

nits. i don't think there's a law about it, may be wrong.

[DM]Frink

There aint a law, because they way Texas Hold Em' is played these days it is not clasified as gambling! And all you people are meant to be poker Gurus......tut tut

Mr.Plough

That is a problem for us alrite. I could only track down 8 official poker societies and have mailed them directly but for colleges without a poker society, we had to send the release their general email address.
Hopefully with all the details here and on our site, people who should know about this will, fingers crossed.

And just to clarify, you can register in any Boylesports branch nationwide by filling out your info and paying the entry fee but not online on their site.

So just to clarify on the 18+ rule... Can an under 18 year old enter any tournament in Ireland?

trying to be a professional darts player!
Well after watching the lakeside today, seems like any half decent player could win that so you might be on to something

Tar.Aldarion

Might make an NUIG team if I have time.
Looks good.

gamblitis

So just to clarify.This is most def the 5th.100% percent clarification to be the 5th yeah?if so i only have one thing to say...

BALLS!!!! :mad:

Shadowless

100% the 5th of March I'm afraid.
I take it you won't be attending...

gamblitis

Not now im afraid.
ah well im sure there will be plenty more along the line.

eoin-dubh

is this open to mature students? (over 33 but under 66)

Ace2007

why would u have to be under 66?

rayfitz

Because poker players retire at the age of 66 as that's when their pension kicks in.

Yes this is open to all students whether immature or mature

Tar.Aldarion: Sure make the time, would be great to have the might of NUIG represented.

carfax

This looks really great, fantastic value for players......I have only one problem with the OP;

"this is the best value tournament you'll play in all year."

I might have to prove you wrong on that one...
