Season 1, 2008, State Finals. Qualifiers Announced.

[Garth Kay]

Congratulations all to those on the attached list, you have qualified for the State Finals.

Season 1, 2008 State Finals.

State Finals for Season 1 will be conducted at the Tea Tree Gully Hotel on Sunday the 30th March. This season has proven to be the biggest yet for NPL in SA and we will see over 750 people qualify for this event.
Due to the expected size of the field the day will be broken down using a flight system. Half the field, in each flight, will play for almost 4 hours. Flight one will commence in the morning and flight 2 will play in the afternoon. These two fields will then recombine in the evening and play until a winner is declared. Be prepared for a long day of poker as we do not expect the final table to commence until 10.30pm at the earliest.
More details will be released in the first week of the Season 2. Please make sure your mobile numbers and email are correct in your player profile as this will be the way we notify you of your start times and flights.

790 runners... HUGE!

Everyone appreciates the effort, thanks Garth!

[AceLosesKing]

Wow, 790, serious?

That's massive.

[Des]

Doubt we will get to that number, as a lot of the outer country qualifiers dont make the trip. Some will, some won't.
