Dusk Till Dawn brings new changes from April 1st

Posted:March 2012

The ‘Dusk Till Dawn’ poker club in Nottingham will notice a change from Sunday, April 1 onwards.  The change will be in terms of the tournament that is being displayed by their buy-ins. Traditionally, tournament buy-ins would be displayed as £30+£3, to include the tournament entry and fee. From Sunday, this would be displayed as £33, which will include the registration fee. 

 

Dusk Till Dawn will be taking a fee that is about flat 10% from each entry. The club will take £5 for the fee and place the remaining £45 into the prize pool from the Super 50 changes from £50+£8. At buy-ins less than £50 and £10 for a two-day event there will be a minimum deduction of £5 for one-day tournaments. Under this new system there is £600 less from the old system which was £1,600 for 200 buy-ins to the super 50. Therefore, new system lowers money that the club takes in total. 

 

The guarantees on the tournament will continue to place in ‘Dusk Till Dawn’ and there will be actual prize pool with no entry fees. Under the terms of new change in the game there is need to be 220 entrants slightly than 200  earlier to meet up the guarantee if it were to have a guarantee of £10,000. 

 

Mr. Rob Yong from Dusk Till Dawn believes that the new changes have likely to cost the club aloft of £125,000 per year and he puts the question “why on Earth are they doing it then?” He puts down some reasons on the Blonde Poker forum which includes:

 

a) Players can easily relate their total expenditure to their potential win no matter how experience they are because £50 buy-in is a £50 buy-in, a Super 50 is a Super 50, not a Super 58 and this is to make the world a simpler place for players.

 

b) Under the new system, the player has to pay £150 and 10% is deducted before the GTE prize pool, in this case, £15 in its place of £18. In reality it is to reduce the cost of entry and registration in our tournaments i.e. a £150 comp and actually is a £168 comp. 

 

c) Since ages we wanted to do something like this but always failed to understand that why there is such a thing as a registration fee on top of a buy-in. It is also true that venues cannot deal comps for nil mainly with higher taxes and so on but let’s not try and make the entry look less. In reality players know that £500 + £60 is £560 and it is out from their pockets. 

 

The tournaments will not change for those players who have previously registered. The changes can also come into power from Sunday until players have been complete for justice.
