Sky Freerolls Feedback

Hey Sky.
FYI !
Not liking the new rule that you have to earn pts since midday to qualify for the freerolls. I imagine Im not alone in simply not having the time to earn pts from midday to 7pm as most of us are working and travelling at this time! Yet if I build up my pts later in the day and I cannot use these points to enter freerolls? Please bring it back to the last 24 hours so it can be fair on those playing the games at resonable times! No doubt I'll have some people bashing my request!
Also personally I was a big fan of the cash payouts in freerolls as opposed to the getting free seats. Certainly dont mind a mix but it seems they are all free seats now and no cash freerolls.
Thanks for listening!

You already have any half decent freerolls played during the day when most people are working.
Then, the two main freerolls on the site, most people won't be able to play.
I get in, eat, put baby to bed (whilst playing freerolls, dad of the year!) and that routine doesn't finish till 19:30.
And sometimes the points don't update straight away anyway.
Like yesterday, I spent time grinding the points and managed to finish 5 mins before the end of late registration then had to sit out cause the points didn't update and I missed out anyway.
I guess someone in sky thought this was a good idea and have a good reason, but I fail to see what it is
Guess they're plugging for more avo traffic...might work?
Strange sky should do that.
Go back to 24 hours Sky, 12 -7 is a strange time frame when most people won't even be on till 7
In Response to Re: Sky Freerolls Feedback:
Good point ger a bit harsh sky changing it with such short notice i did not get in tonight till 6.50 tried too register get told i don't qualify and look and see the entry has changed.yet somehow had too hope 2 £5.50 games started and finished in 5 minutes too gain entry even though i made about 100 points last night!
Maybe the jobcentre contacted sky and offered them a back too work bonus for every player who gained entry!
Either way we will never know but very strange.
C-.....could do better.
Well it may seem ridiculous looking in from the outside, but perhaps it has some business logic behind it that we are not aware of?
Maybe they think it is a way to stimulate a little more traffic in the afternoons?
Every single player has different time availability, it's just not easy to please everyone.
As I replied to the other Gent, I would imagine it has been done this way for a reason.
Probably best to keep a close eye on the Freeroll Lobby for the next few weeks & montha, I gather that plan to try quite a few different things, & the schedule will chop & change a fair bit.
These Freerolls, over the course of a year, add up to a VERY big sum of money, so I think the Business has a right to try & make them as cost-effective as possible. In doing so, of course, they'll tread on a few toes along the way, sadly.
