Due to difficult market conditions, Grosvenor are cutting back on costs and as a result each venue will have guaranteed dealers for the last two tables and the final table.  There may well be more dealers available at some of the venues, but you should make your decision to attend based on the majority of the tournament being self dealt.

Notes:

Regional Rankings

1) Members will earn ranking points for finishing in the top nine players at each of 5 Regional Championship legs

2) Players can accumulate points towards the Regional Championship, from any venue within that Region. Points cannot be carried over from Region to Region. However, ranking points earned within any Region will count towards a player"s National ranking.

3) The rankings winner at each of the 4 Regional Championships will receive a seat into the World Amateur Poker Championship at the Grosvenor Victoria Casino, being held in London over the August Bank Holiday Weekend in 2008.

4) The National rankings winner will receive an expenses paid entry to the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Grand Final, worth in the region of $8,000.

Please note the news about telephone reservations prior to the day itself

Hmm not sure how aware the casinos are that you can reserve your seat this week. I was in Plymouth yesterday and the card room bloke didn"t seem to know anything about it.

I can imagine it will be another self dealt tournie with buy-ins only accepted on the day.

Anyone know the earliest you can buy-in?

[Jon MW]

Brighton opens at 2pm so it"s going to be difficult to pay for it by 1.30

[TightEnd]

A communique went out to all the hosting Grosvenors yesterday with all this info on, from Head Office

Accepting there are likely to be communication teething problems, or some time before the news filters through to the cash desks, this is why I say when you ring up to reserve, double check at your venue when the deadline for paying for a reserved seat is, on the day itself

I"ve just tried calling Edinburgh and Newcastle - the two casinos I assume I will be asked to oversee - for info on pre-registration for this weekend.

Grosvenor Newcastle - I was advised to call back at 6:30/7pm

Gala Edinburgh - I was asked to call back around 6pm.

I"ll keep you all posted ...

Ditto Walsall.  The girl who answered the phone told me I couldn"t register over the phone, but to do it online at BlueSQ (not a bad guess from her!).  She said best to phone later when the card-room supervisor is in.

Which is what I"ll do!

[Ken Jude]

Neither the phone answerer nor the cash desk at Luton know anything about it yet.

[Digger]

Manchester in the dark also........did say she"d call back though.......hope so.....she sounded really fit!!  

[Jon MW]

Brighton have suggested calling back at 7 when the card room opens.

Just spoken to Colleen " She is well fit in it"
Oh yeah and I registered, which is a good do, as I don"t have to be there before the doors open.
