    Richie, looks like a sick structure for these games - fair play.

    Now, I know this is always a difficult question to ask and I feel slightly foolish for asking it. But it would affect whether I would make arrangements to travel down or not:

    - what ballpark number of runners are you expecting?

    ^^pete/lloyd - can I ask what you see more appealing about this structure than others?

    in any case, it looks like a really good event, i was debating hitting dusk till dawn this particular weekend but i think i may hit the south east instead.

    Are strawberries in season in December?

    Between satellite qualifiers and people regged there's 27 tickets sold so far.
    Tough to give an estimate of number of runners are you can imagine.

    20k stack,with 1 hour levels and nearly every level possible. Most tournies with this buy in has a 10k or maybe 15k stack.
    I have to say that the winter festival also was an excellent structure, i had feared it might turn a little nasty going back on day 3 wit the average stack of 19 bb but it didnt at all.
    You did a good job Noel as did the rest of the PaddyPower crew!

    looks good Richie, best of luck with it.

    Hopefully there will be some local satellites & if not will probably play the Thursday satellite. Possibly one of the side events if not in the ME.

    I take it there's no upper age limit :D

    Yeah, the 20K stack is great because it means you can take a few hits early on and still do well. 10K seems like a lot until you lose your first few pots.

    This looks like a brilliant tournament and one I'll definitely try to play.
