anyone going tp the gpt sunday?

[Gary Lynch]

just wondering if anyone is going on Sunday. I'm sure I saw something on their site that said it was 4 rounds plus top 9. I'm addiming that means its capped at 16 players?

[Gary Lynch]

Ok obviously I meant top 8. I hate blackberrys.

[Philip Rogers]

Whats wrong with the two on Saturday?

[Ben Titmarsh]

Gary - where is this GPT?  what format?

[Gary Lynch]

Phill are theyfor London. If not I'm not interested.

Ben its at dark sphere in London and its draped

Sunday:

 

There is no mention of a player limit on their website, so they must have hired a venue big enough for everyone who wishes to attend, to avoid disapointing players.

 

Saturday:

 

 

Grand Prix Singapore Trial (w/Travel Rebate) – No player limit

 

&

 

Grand Prix Providence Trial (w/Travel Rebate) – No player limit

[Raymond Wat]

The GPT is at the Store (Dark Spheres) and it's limited to about 24 players, so only 4 rounds+top 8.

 

Seal deck.

 

That's why you need to get your ticket before turning up.

 

Oh, what is draped? :-)

 

 

[Eugene Hwang]

I am going to this, though I don't remember seeing a cap on players.  Wouldn't 24 players be 5 rounds + top 8?

[Gary Lynch]

Yeah those are good GPT's to play in. Im sure that £30 travel rebate will get the winner very close.

Exactly why I thought it was limited to 16, as I thought 17 players would make it 5 rounds plust top 8.

 

Can someone check this out?

ok I got this from the tournament organisers handbook :

 

Number of players Number of rounds
4-8 3 rounds of Swiss
9-16 4 rounds of Swiss
17-32 5 rounds of Swiss

 

So if its 4 rounds as I saw on their site then it has to stop at 16 players, 1 more and they have to do 5 rounds.

[Raymond Wat]

You are right, guys. maybe they are only doing 16 player GPT.
