Structure
20,000 starting chips, a 60-minute clock and ten levels on each Day 1. Late registration stays open until the start of Day 2, so a player can still buy in after the flights have finished. Day 1C, late on the Friday evening, is a turbo.
Routes in
Must-play cashout satellites run through the week from GBP 135, several of them guaranteeing five or ten seats. Grosvenor's online feeder satellites start at GBP 1 and pay out live event credit rather than a seat; that credit is taken to the cash desk and used as full or part payment.
