Great venue, great atmosphere and very friendly crowd when I was down on the first night.

But the downside is the buy in and rebuy/top up structure. Buy-in €40 for 7k stack, Rebuy €30 for 8k stack and Add-on €20 for 10k stack. This layout is for mugs in my opinion.

Why not just have it as a 60/90 euro freezeout? Would this ever be considered?

Thanks for the positive comments

Yea, the current rebuy structure isn't the best, causing overlays as players opt for the add on only. You live and learn. We promoted the game structure over a 12 week league and for the sake of consistency we will ride it out and review the structure for the new year. Our aim was to create a good value game in a friendly environment. It seems to be working.

The current league will run for another 4 weeks ending the 29th November 2011 with the league final on the 5th December 2011.

We will recommence with a new league and freezeout structure in early January.

We will be running a €100 + €10 Christmas Freezeout on friday the 29th of December 2011, it will ease the christmas cabin fever! New thread to follow shortly!

Not arguing your point on the structure etc , just correcting the buy in and stacks!

Buy in €30 including €5 reg for $7k
Rebuy €30 for $9k
Add on €30 for $9k if used before the break or $12k at break.
