Also would have cool to have the Dublin leg running the week before or the week after the Irish Open.

Make for a Dublin festival of poker.

I've never been to the CityWest but if it's even close to being as bad as the ballsbridge then they should just do away with this whole stop.
The ballsbridge was so bad... didn't have my reservation upon showing up... put me in a room to only wake me up and say I had to leave on my 2nd last day while lying to me saying thats how long my reservation was for... only to find out they just wanted to clean the whole floor... internet was shaky and cost money... lots more complaints, I'm just glad it's not there anymore.

I reckon this might happen - it was the #1 grumble on the feedback thread and is something that the casuals will echo as well. On top of which, EPT London is usually late Sept and that's awfully close to the Newcastle date.

Here to speculate.

It's all shaping up nicely for a November final

From the email I just got:

Did the email go into any detail of how the Online Qualifier works and who it's restricted to etc. I didnt get any email yet played 2 legs of the tour last year and live in Canada.

It's on the main site, but a bit of a pain in the ass to find:

Quote:

In addition to the leaderboard the UKIPT will also be rewarding the online qualifier of the year. Players will be awarded 10 points for every UKIPT Main Event full package and seat only entry they qualify for online.

Multiple qualifications will also be rewarded and there is no cap on the amount of participation points a player can earn.

The online qualifier of the year will be awarded a package to a UKIPT Season 4 tournament of their choice (excluding EPT London), a seat at the UKIPT Season 3 Champion of Champions and a limited edition trophy commemorating their achievement.

Where was the Champion of Champions held last year and what was it worth?
Was the hotel included for this?

The Brickie · 11-18-2011, 10:45 PM

So the entry fee is up to £/€70. What more are we getting for our money? More dinner? Better floor staff?

They said we will have welcome parties which is def. worth the extra 10 dollars imo. + the rake is pretty standard. As buy ins go up so does the rake ussually by 10% so I'm not complaining.
