Free Cash Freerolls - discussion

Hi

Somewhat inspired by this thread.

Althought we wouldn't likely make the freerolls 'all-in' events, we could speed up the structure. At the end of the day, we want people to have to turn up and play but would you prefer it that, instead of say 60mins it was maybe 15 or 30 mins with a faster structure?

Thanks

    One word, NO

    IMHO the structure is perfect for a freeroll as it is.  Please don't change them!

    Even though I hardly play them, I think they're fine as they are. They're hardly slow paced affairs anyway, plus they give a little experience on how to play for new players.

    If they're too fast you will lose that.

    No they are perfect probably the best of all the sites i have played. Would like a couple of the 20 pound freerolls changed to half hour timed.

    Keep the same as they are now, for 1 big reason, if you change to 15mins then winning anything more then £1 will be very hard, and it will only encourage everyone to shove chips every hand (might aswell just run all-in mtt) if this was the case.

    Gl all at the tables

    Just to clarify my original post.
    I suggested an all in freeroll simply because there have been many posts that suggest there are a lot of players with poker point mountains, never likely to be used.
    I wasn't suggesting all freerolls were changed.
    I just thought as those players had created traffic and rake to the site, they deserved an opportunity to use them.
    Of course! freerolls are a vital part of a beginners journey, and current structures offer a great opportunity to experience the game.
    But In my opinion, regulars who dont achieve priority but accumulate thousands of points deserve the opportunity to use them.
    I have no axe to grind as I do not accumulate significant points. I just opened the topic up for discussion.

    I've accumulated over 5000 over time and will never use them up.

    keep the 2 main freerolls timed games.but maybe move one too say 10pm and spread it out a bit more instead of having 2 freerolls within 15 minutes of each other.

    maybe too stop all the sit outs only open reg 10 mins prior too the start of the game that way there is more chance of people playing than just registering and then sitting out the full game.

    Length of freeroll`s are fine. IMO, the way they are. I like the structure but I do find it strange that two identical freerolls start within a quarter of an hour of each other. I would prefer them to be well spaced as churchy suggests.

    Fine for me. I like DUM's idea and it sounds interesting but in terms of the Free Cash ones I think they are fine as they are.

    I don't play any of the current freerolls and have ~35k points.  any chance to use these points on some form of satellites would be greatly appreciated.

    there used to be satellites a long time ago where you could buy in for a few thousand points and try to win entry into something like the primo. there also used to be 10 man sngs in the lobby where you could buy in for points and the winner won a seat into an mtt.

    I can't make any comment on the freerolls etc but would love a chance to spin a big amount of points into something really good

    I like the time free rolls a lot. Need to only have reg open for 10 mins before and 10 mins after to sort out the away players. A bigger gap also would be better. One after the other I think.

    the 7pm & 7.15pm freerolls are Sky's best 2 'daily' tournaments for all low stake players, and are great towards building up a bankroll.

    PLEASE  PLEASE  PLEASE  DON'T CHANGE THEM.... THEY ARE GREAT AS THEY ARE!!!

    I'd like to echo the majority of the posts on here, structure is fine, but split them up a bit more to keep those playerss on the site for longer

    I think the point the Freerolls are so close together is to try and get new players to learn how to multitable.

    This is why they are close together, means in the long run sky make more as new players will start playing 2 or 3 tables instead of 1.

    Be good if they had something which I can use my points on. Satellites, tourneys, or maybe sum kind of shop on here.

    I would much prefer if they put the free cash freeroll back at 7 rather then a sat for a touney 3 weeks away
