Was this clause about what would happen if there was cash left over in the original Terms & Conditions, or was it added later when it was becoming a distinct possibility?
fchd we don't know - no one seems to have a copy of the original t&cs
harry likewise we don't know and that is what I'm trying to find out. I'm only interested in the rationale in case there are some smart points I'm not aware of.

And to be clear I'm not that fussed about whether the new plan was in those terms at the beginning. it would have been nice to have been informed about a major change to the satellites bubble policy but that is all history. I'm more worried about what might happen in future. hence my persistence on this thread to try to find out what sky is planning in advance.
And other than an apologist for skypoker making major changes as long as it is in the t&cs we still don't know 1. Why make this change 2. Can it be changed back in future come on sky a response please more than happy to hear some rationale and happier still to hear about future plans Posted by GELDY
Geldy. FYI, It's Sky's site. They can structure the tournaments however they want to. It's then up to us to decide if we want to play them or not. Sky set out what would happen if there was excess money BEFORE any sats were played. To say this is fine print is just wrong. It was set out before the satillite structure was shown. As no one said anything before then I just don't get why people are complaining now. It was even set out in Tikays thread on the day of the final. Again no one said anything about it before. If you don't say anything, or do anything, before when all the facts are freely available to you then you lose all right to complain after.
I've just been to look at your link again and it seems to be the latest version not the original. Do you have an original copied somewhere? Posted by GELDY
i thought you were a nice guy when we met at an SPT but now you are starting to p*ss me off. I'm trying to find out if skypoker intends on using this bubble system in future because if that is the case i am going to be less interested in taking part. and I'm not the only one with this view. Why you are continuously trying to derail my thread i don't know.

Won't that depend on what packages they offer in the future / can't really be made public until they decide on those packages? Can't see how Sky can answer your query until satellites start for the next big event.
I assume that as this was a full holiday package, there would only be so many rooms available at the hotel and they can't just magic up a spare room to add to the satellite a couple of weeks before the holiday date...
...yeah they could take the one from the freeroll, but then that's at the expense of another promo, which probably drives more traffic for the site through people trying to earn enough points to enter and have a free shot at the prize... and then what if there had been enough in the Punta final for 9 packages... we'd end up with this same thread and no spare hotel spaces to take (unless there is another promo on top of the freeroll, which we are yet to know about!)
I can't see that there would be the same issue (looking short term) if it's a sat to an online event where there is always room for one more seat (hence the UKOPS appear to take a more 1-in-5 approach without overlay going to the winners).

Fair enough you want clarification, but seems pretty clear to me that Punta Cana was a unique event, and thus had a unique bubble feature for the final.
All the UKOPS sats will run normally I would've thought. Not sure why you're so desperate to know now what the bubble structure might be for, say, an event in February (UKPC). Is it really that important?
Don't know if they changed t's & c's or not,surely a 1 in 5 sat that gets more runners than they want & becomes 1 in 6 or higher is -ev in encouraging runners.

yeah the ukops question was a bit tonque in cheek, but also to make the point that we still haven't heard from sky about this MAJOR change to their bubble policy - i'm more interested in future VLVs and Punta Cana's. And if we have to put up with the T&Cs that we are given at the beginning of the promotion then it's highly important that we communicate what we want and don't want to see in advance.

Said before but shall reiterate; I don't think this is the new system going forward. I think it was a one off for the PC promo. Unique promotion, unique bubble.
And if VLV does return (don't hold your breath), then that's months away, ditto for Punta Cana if they run that again.
You seem to be getting agitated by it when there really is no need to.

my question exactly - is it? I appreciate you don't think so, and i hope not so, but how about a comment from those who are implementing it as to whether they intend so. and as i said, if the first we know of a new promo is when they publish the t&cs then we need to get some focus on it beforehand, otherwise we'll be back in cena's "it's in the t&cs - too late to change them" situation

Ok lets imagine this is the new bubble going forward. What does it matter right now? There doesn't appear to be any live events on the horizon. Might be wrong but the next feasible one would seem to be the UKPC if they run it again in February......we're not even in November, why the desperate need to know this instance what the bubble structure will be?
I really don't exactly know why the Punta Cana Final payout structure was done the way it was.
I can confirm, however, because I got the answer from Upstairs, that this was a "one off".
What would happen if they did another Punta Cana or similar? No idea - let's wait until it happens, & I'm sure, next time, everyone will make sure that all the info is clearly & properly communicated from Day One. Also, I did make every effort to let everyone know the score last weekend.
