EDIT: yes thanks marq...I was copy and pasting :-/

edit to say that the main event will almost certainly have no more than 75 euro registration.

Looks great and there is a good run into this Festival, so should generate more interest.

Could you check Marq about running weekly satellites etc., closer to Event, to generate more qualifiers etc., A Guaranteed number will attract more people...

Going with €1000 instead of €1500 for the main event is a good shout I think. I also say kudos for the €75 reg. Looks good. If I'm in the country at the time I think I would play because the blind structure you devised for last year's event looked genuinely top class.

/hits head against wall!!:eek::eek:

so just to confirm, the marketing men at the fitzwilliam figured that with the ladbrokes sponsored €500 event on in october, and with PPP's irish Winter Festival on in october and with the International Poker Open on in october they figured the most appropriate time to have their Fitzwilliam festival was.... october?!?!?!

definately no way this would be more successful in september or november... no way... :rolleyes:

Yet another rant about a tournament he has absolutely no intention of playing in. :rolleyes: Do you ever get bored of playing the grumpy old man around here?

so in keeping with the "attack the post not the poster" nature of boards, would you consider my post to be inaccurate? do you, in your opinion, think it is a good idea for both the fitzwilliam and the poker community for this to be scheduled in october, or would you think it would be more successful in september or november?

and stop trolling me... i dont/wont get bored of contributing to this forum, you might get bored of me, but i doubt it, you love me.

He makes a good point, surely its irrelevent if he intends to play or not.
