organisors need to ask themselves WHY this event is always oversubscribed and it isnt because teams want to be seperated and play on different days or flights!!!

Plus, who gets to decide which players have to take at least an afternoon off work AND pay for an extra nights hotel?

Bigfella42:
Team splitting not a good idea. The team element has always been a big part of teams I have participated in and it"s not really a team event if you only play with half of your team. Also if u played the second flight and the first 4 people had all busted the night before motivation would be different.

scwuffy1979:
would like all players from team playing at one time, although having day 1a and 1b would add an extra twist to it, with more teams playing swells the prize fund too

Robbiebox:
Two days clearly isn"t popular, go for the bigger capacity.

If DTD can"t host, how about Star City or Genting Stoke, both central venues that have hosted 300 player tourneys in the past.

Chipaccrual:
Personally, I think to do the event justice, the buyin should be £50+£10 per person.  It amazes me that any venue is still prepared to run a two day deepstack event with just £5 per person juice.

To get to the capacities we are talking about, any venue in the UK will need to bring in dealers (which costs a bit more than their inhouse dealers).  I"d imagine it"s a hard sell when speaking to venues.

Sorry if that"s slightly off topic, and those are my own opinions, which may well differ from Des and Tom's views.
