Either suits me, anyway. Did ya get on to Graham about holding it in the Bank, or is it going to be on campus?
If ya need a hand with anything, just give me a shout.

Yeah, I'll play (Robert Linehan) but I'll need to know whether it's Saturday or Sunday, ASAP so I can get the day off work. As well are we sending a team to that thing in CIT this friday?

I'll go in and talk to Graham today. Prize pool is going to be about 1860 (+ 12, thanks David ). If people want we can hold a heads-up event and take 3 or 4 hundred for that? Also nice one for mentioning the CIT thing, I should really check the email account more often. Do you want to nominate anyone to play the TOC btw?

Ya I'm in (Kieran Lyons). Either day is grand for me. I suppose the person i nominate has to have played in the poker Soc during the year? Its just the guy i live with will be up for it. The heads-up idea sounds pretty good also.

Last year we had a 10 euro entry fee for the heads-up event just to juice the prizepool up a bit. Same again this year or would ye prefer it to be a freeroll event?

Heads-up event sounds good to me, with an entry fee.

Hmmm well I was gonna nominate Andrew but now he qualified. There's a fella in my class that played there a few times, I might say it to him next week. If not many people reply, it might be an idea to have it on the monday of the "Study Week"- I mean what were the last 4 weeks for! Also anyone that did want to study would have the weekend free to do so. Just thinking of the people that go home at the weekend or whatever. Also we know everyone's free on mondays cos they were all free to go every monday?

Because I went into Graham last night and got it set up for Saturday and Sunday.
Can't see why people are any more likely to be there on the Monday then they are for the weekend.
Anywho,
Saturday we have the heads-up event at 3pm, 10 euro in with about 3 hundred or so added.
Sunday we have the tournament of champions at 1pm, free in and ~1,500 euro prizepool.
I haven't confirmed the structure yet. For the TOC we were thinking 8,000 starting stack, 40 min clock and all levels included. We could also do 10,000 starting with 30 min clock if ye really wanted. Fully dealer dealt.
Not sure about the heads-up and it kinda depends on if there'll be a group stage like last year. If not we could prob do 5,000 starting and 15-20 min clock. If we have groups then we'll have to speed up the structure to get it finished but you're guaranteed more games. This will be self deal and probably have the final dealer dealt.

Wow, impressive structure. Well done. I'd favour 10k/30 mins, as I'm sure you can imagine, but 8k/40 mins is fine if you can't get 10k.
