Sounds good - Nothing in UK or Ireland?

Afraid not no, Dublin was originally on the list but with complete saturation of tournaments it seemed to make more sense to shoot for some more interesting places and get as many people qualifying online as possible.

The blind structure for €1000 event isn't great tbh.

10k stack and 45 min blinds with some key levels missing.

No 75-150, 150-300, 1200-2400 or 2500-5000

Hi JP - thanks for the feedback.

There's a 3rd party Swedish Co. running the tournaments and I've already sent them similar feedback. I expect them to confirm an improved structure which I'll update here.

Thanks.

Did i see somewhere that this tourney is over 21s???

karlh

depends on the venue - Estonia is over 21s, even online, just a national law.

I'll confirm age restrictions for other events as details are confirmed. Most are casino based so venue regulations apply.
