First & Second get ..... £33 B/HUNTER SEAT OR 3 x £9.90 weekly FOSP Hilo Entries!! 3rd/4th Get 1 x Free Weeks Entries
Couldn't help noticing that there were 77 players that played just one of the four tournaments last week and another 12 who played just two of the tournaments. Imagine if they all played all four.
Should we be looking at ways to encourage these players to play all four as its more money for SKY and bigger prize pools for everyone. Not sure what the answer is here but this has to be an opportunity to build on the early success of PLO8 Night.
steady on tiger, if you mention bigger prizes you might find that this whole thing gets dropped. each month sky are giving away 9/10 weeks worth of £9.90 for how much rake? (~£132 for the months worth of games). they also might realise over the last 6 months, a lot of those prizes have gone to erm....
maybe Churchy could ask someone at sky to change the name of the thurs eves games to forum or FOSP PL08 challenge (or whatever) and include a sentence in the blurb to say see forum for details of the competition.
Think sky are giving us plenty in terms of prizes and then the overlay in the £150 game is pretty much £50 a week so they are giving away £330-£390 a month in backing this when you add it up for very lttle in terms of rake. and too be fair suprised they have not reduced the gtd in that.
Not sure how else i can try and get more in it i post it on facebook and on here every week and have asked people like tikay and neil channing too play too try help attract players as well also went around all the plo8 games going on the thursday and told everyone about it but stopped as thought i was annoying a few people.
I have emailed sam too ask about maybe getting the name changed as suzy says as that could be a big help as last week or the week before shellyyy won and did not even know until i asked if she knew she had been entered into the games about 30 minutes before the 1st game started.
So think that could help and also i will ask about it maybe being stuck too the top like they do with dtd that might help also.
Any other ideas please post them and we can try them anything that will get more players playing and more money in the prizepools.

You do a great job promoting the PLO night.
My comment was really related to the number of players that play at least one PLO8 tournament on a Thursday but don't appear to be actively playing the event. Some of these obviously won't or cannot play all four but no doubt there will be some who aren't aware. My main train of thought is that to the casual player who doesn't read the Forum much then there appears no obvious link in the lobby between the tournaments. It would be great if SKY could link them like they do with DTD on Mondays although I guess the regular tournaments are linked to the ones on other days of the week.
My point about more goodies from SKY was really in the long term after the numbers increased. The numbers are great for PLO8 from a standing start. I just feel that linking the tournaments in the lobby would speed up the growth process.
You're doing all you can Churchy. More than should be expected I'd say.
I think you/Sky have realistically hit the saturation point for expected numbers to play these tournaments. In hindsight, we were all probably too unrealistic with our requested buy-ins for these. Simply, they are too small. There's obviously a fine line between wanting new players to have a go, hence the x2 £1 jobbies, but I'd hazard a guess these micro stakes are putting a lot of people off. Unless you love playing the game, managing to hit a FT yet only winning enough to buy a happy meal, isn't much of an incentive. It's probably been said before, but a buy-in of at least a tenner is needed to attract the NLHE tourney regs to the any4cardbingo.com world. At least a tenner. Too late now though me old pal, don't sweat it, what will be, will be....
Anyroad, I'm donating in them tonight, don't know why as I get bored in tourneys and give up.
