Negotiating price for this event at the moment.
Read and understood that you were in the throws of negotiation
We cannot do the event under the same charge to the venue as last time.
Again, very understandable for both parties with the current state of affairs the world is going through. Hence one of your next posts re; $20.00 buyin. This would obviously help with the prize money costs as I stated in one of my posts. I believe most punters like myself would be happy with having a $20 buyin.
We had all SA key staff out of the greater Adelaide area for almost four days as well as the logistical nightmare of transporting equipment that distance.
Obviously I may have mis-interpretted this entry. I read it as due to the distances there may be either a metro Big Stack or something closer to Adelaide. This would obviously help to alleviate some of the additional costs such as accommodation for staff, wages, fuel, and the additional travel time etc.
Bob some of your recent posts seem to have a negative spin or imply some form of cynicism, what's up with that? Are you becoming jaded with NPL?
It's been said before so I'm sure if I was to ask when and where I'd get a whole heap of examples as to how my writings are interpreted. However, it does depend on who is reading my posts and how they interpret what I'm writing as a positive or negative view.
Am I becoming Jaded with NPL?????
Good question Garth. Let me say when I started out playing NPL I played at 3 to 4 different venues each week and now I'm down to one, the Wheatsheaf! I actually stopped playing the other venues for a number of different reasons.
Non, were NPL related directly or indirectly but, rather the actual venue and or individuals at those venues.
Am I happy with the current NPL format??? Yes, I like the shorter 5 week deal!!
Am I looking for something different???? Yes, and I'm trying them one at a time!!
Do I have any suggestions??? Nothing positive as yet but I'm always thinking.
Am I looking forward to next season??? Yes!!!
Finally would I go to a Big Stack buyin tourney if it were held in Adelaide and not the country????? Yes.
However, as I have said in other posts I did like the Berri Big Stack and treated it as a holiday weekend away as a preference to being in the metro area. So, if that's being negative I'm guilty 100%.
My trip away for the month of May for me is totally Casino orientated Poker in all three eastern states. However, if you ask my missus we're visiting her family LOL.
and 40 to frown
