Fantastic to have all the dates set out in advance, great effort to organise this.

Not sure I"m keen on the split Sat/Sun for the online events.  Wouldn"t having them both on the same day be in a recreational players interest ?

Also, and purely from a selfish point of view (I can"t play poker of Thursdays, although some would say that I can"t play poker any day of the week), but wouldn"t satellites on the same night as Online Championships and/or Online Leagues/Cups mean a likely increase in traffic for the satellites ?

It"s great that the tokens can be saved up and used for any event (or bigger buyin), that"s a huge step forward.

Two Questions...

1. What will the side events be....?

2. What is the format of the National Cup...?

Looking forward to playing in these, shifts permitting...

Great to have all the dates in advance. Can i ask what the thinking was for splitting them across Saturday and Sundays? It will certainly limit my participation and i would assume would the same for others.

We"re looking at the scheduling of Saturday and Sunday events so don"t write the above in your diaries just yet!

Personally I"d rather see online Championship games played on a Sunday instead of the norm Saturday night..

What"s the reasoning behind the £50 buy in for the WCOAP online event?

I know, I just think after a 10 day festival, a £50 online tourney soon after may not appeal.
