[Paulie_D]

I"m excited already.

[RicayBoy]

I know this has been semi-mentioned before, but for the overseas events is there any way we could consider some kind of package as a prize that includes some expenses towards travel and accom - Perhaps a seat only satellite and a separate "package" satellite.

Apolgies if I"ve just made someone"s life hell!!

[Paulie_D]

I know it"s been considered before and was a popular idea.

From what I can gather though...it MIGHT not be possible under the current Betfair/Ongame software as satellites get you a "ticket" which can"t be sold/cashed.

I"m sure Leigh/Tighty can clarify.

[Chipaccrual]

The satellites for the previous events have all been for "packages"

The packages were a $120 seat and $280 towards expenses.

We run $20 freezeouts and $10 rebuys to win a $400 "package"

We also run a $50 super satellite with two $5 feeders to win a $400 "package".


And all of these satellites are run for two weeks.


Perhaps the packages are not enough, but it is a balance between making a package achievable for a reasonable buyin, and we just don"t get the demand to run these satellites on anything like a regular basis.

We can"t offer a guaranteed seat, so it"s the old rock and a hard place scenario.

I"m excited already.

What"s the dress code for the casino? Presumably I"ll be OK in my Bermuda shorts, Hawaiin shirt, knotted handkerchief on head and a straw donkey under my arm?

From what I can gather (their English version of the website isn"t functional)...it"s smart casual.

So, no shorts, t-shirts, tank tops or sandals (unless you"re a girl)...think G Luton. Dunno about footwear.

Photo ID (Passport/Driving Licence) will be required.

I"ll ask Tighty to make sure the player briefing goes out a little sooner than usual if at all possible once the details are known.

[jjandellis]

Great choice - loads of discounted hotels and cheap flights too :-)
