can you enter the team event with 4 random players or do they all have to attend the same college

CIT Poker Soc

All the team have to be from the same college! Teams of 5, Colleges may have more than 1 team.

Hey,

Come up and promote the hell out of this tournament at the Regency Airport, Dublin on 5th April.

thomaskearns

DCU will certainly be back to defend their title... wont be giving it up easily!! The trophy is still lookin good in mine

CIT Poker Soc

We will look forward to taking it back of ya;)

tipp86

Just a question where does the team prize money come from?

CIT Poker Soc

There will possibly be a 50 euro registration for a team which should be paid by the college society office...if not then it would just be (5*10 euro)..feedback is welcome!

thomaskearns

yeah i think a single €10 for each competitor towards th individual prize and then €10 from each person who is on a team to the team prize. it sounds like a decent way to do it. ys still running it the same way as last year with each team nominating a captain and the captain getting double points yeah??

CIT Poker Soc

ya thomas same as last year, also sorry about only 2 students heading up to your event from us.....you know how hard it is to attract students to these things!!!:)

CIT Poker Soc

right lads, will be sending on team registration forms to college societies there next week, just to keep ye updated

What is the buyin for an individual if he is not with a team is it €8?? If so this makes it a v team orientated tournament.Makes the buyin not really worth playing and i only live 5 mins away never mind someone travelling.

I understand its a student event but why not do like stephen mclean and let the captain nominate the college and let the players attend any college could attract more enteries.Just a suggestion.

CIT Poker Soc

The entry fee as stated above is 20euro and and additional 10 if one is on a team...
