In Response to Re: Birmingham spt direct buyin? : This has been discussed a lot in the past. If you are already registered for an event (this is true of any Sky MTT) and then win a seat to that event you will be given the BI amount in cash. To be honest, I think it's a perfectly legitimate thing to do and it's something I've occasionally done in the past. The flip side of the arguement for people not getting seats is that (taking a Semi as an example) for every 5 people that play it for the cash, that is 1 extra seat up for grabs that wouldn't otherwise be there, and anyone can win it. Also someone playing for cash, doesn't really take a seat away from anyone, they get the cash and that seat is still available, so if enough sats run, and it sells out, everyone has had an equal chance. I think the people who play for cash are really needed in the SPT sats too, cos otherwise they would be really low on numbers, seats may stop being guaranteed etc. Posted by Lambert180
I can't disagree with any of you, it was a bit of a cry for help if i'm honest lol. Another thought though as it is a national event, why not in future have a few seats open for direct buy in for a few regional players for that tourney if they want too, just an idea
