Grosvenor Casinos released their full Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) calendar for 2024 well before the year started. However on January 17th, the UK's largest casino opeerator announced some small changes to the schedule.

25/25 becomes 25/50

No changes have as yet been made to the 25/50 poker events that form the backbone of Grosvenor Casino's £250,000 National Poker League. Previously known as 25/25 events due to their 25k starting stack and £25,000 guarantees, they have been renamed 25/50 events for 2024, due to their guarantees being doubled. The number of 25/50 events on the calendar has also almost doubled, with 58 scheduled to take place in 2024, compared with the 32 that ran in 2023.

These £250 buy-in events are 2-day tournaments, which give players the option to start with an online day 1 or play live in one of four starting flights per event. Players can re-enter a maximum of two times per starting day and late registration is available up until the start of day 2. The format of these events is as follows:

Buy-In	Guarantee	Re-entries	Late Reg Until	Chips
£220+£30	£50,000	Max 2 re-entries per start day	Start of Day 2	25,000
Day	Time	Event name	Levels played	Clock
