With regards to collusion, please don't hesitate to report any players you believe to be at it. Our security team are continuing to have an active role in weeding them out of the promo.
There may be a slight delay in publishing the final leaderboard tomorrow to allow for final fraud checks of the qualifiers, please bear with us.
Myself and oldboy are currently both on 68% with exact same number of games, on the offchance 68 is the cutoff and neither of us have played anymore games what will happen?

If that situation does arise benc then we would arrange a playoff between the two players before the last 16 starts next week.
Redempt scope says you have played 50 HU games, even if you play 2 and lose them i would imagine your seat is locked up so don't sweat it too much.
Pretty concerning to still see clear colluders on both the main leaderboard and best of the rest, any chance we could have a provisional leaderboard before 12pm without these so we have some kind of idea whether to play more etc, this is a great promo but sky really should be onto these cheaters alot quicker so as not to ruin it for others.

Agree, I'm 15th at moment and REDEMPT will be pushing us down one so would like to know if any above are to be removed
Just had confirmation from Sky Dan that I have hit my 50 Quota. Good luck to all you Guy`s still in with a shout. I was actually very disappointed to not hit the 80s % as I had numerous opportunities only to be ousted by river killers! I must have easily had the highest different opponent base right up until my final 11 games , as I rarely re-matched and played the same opponent , Only in my final push did I do this , as I was getting worried to fill my 50 quota with the time left.

Well done Reedmpt!! I hope I don't draw you in the last 16 as you seem to be one of the best on the leaderboards!!!
Just scoping a couple of players on the leaderboard who i regularly face hu, put together a couple of.. interesting runs.
Player x) 55 games + £255 against the same opponent during the promo decent 27 game winning streak
Player y) broke even for a bit but had a nice 19 game run +£95 against the same opponent, who funnily enough hasn't played anyone else in the promo.
How have sky not cracked down on this quicker and deleted them from the leaderboards, appreciate it is difficult to keep check with promo but even so players around 17-22nd may have felt like they were out the running and decided not to try and up winrate and it's also a major sweat for players who are on the cusp like myself.

seems that the forum member's are doing all the detective work not sky,i've seen two people removed from list only after forum member's brought it up on this thread!!!
i am sure Sky will pick up on these cheaters who Benc and others have mentioned (not by name). What i find amazing is that there are players out there who think no one will notice if they play the same player 17 times and lose them all! As for myself, most £10 hyper players will recognise that i usually play these, and when i saw the promo i was well interested but i had such a lousy start that i decided descretion was the better part of valour. Good Luck to Benc, Larson and TimmyRaRa who i have often crossed swords with. I look forward to watching the live show that covers the finalists.
What format will the knockout stages be played in? - May I suggest that a "best of 3" games for each round?
Im sure you have probably decided already, but obviously there are many forms - hypers, turbo's, speeds, normals, and of course omaha which I believe one player predominantly played in order to qualify, it would be good to know so we can practice!
Amazing promo Sky, more please:) Big congratulations to the top 16 tomorrow, i blew my chances losing 4 of my last 5 of the 50, all hypers lol Good luck to the 16 for next week Posted by LARSON7
Second post!!
I echo Larson's views on this being a great promotion, well done :-)
To improve in the future, as to avoid some of the collusion issues:
Qualifiers should play a minimum of 100/150 games
Qualifiers should play a minumum of 50 different players
Only the first 5 games against any one player should be taken into account
Encourage players to play other forms of Poker within any other area of the site (ie dont just create an account, play 50 games of hu, and run away!). Im not sure how you can promote this though...
Perhaps run the promotion over a longer time period to encourage more play - more play = generally fairer/clearer results
