    Logically, it was thought this was the best way to construct the satellite tree, with one "big" Final.

    It's 6 of one half dozen of another really, whatever way you cut this there will be people disappointed.

    If I were the gambling sort, I'd bet good money it will not overlay though, this Promo will prove very popular imo.

    Guys,

    I'm a bit pre-occupied up at UKPC until Monday, so bear with me until then, but I'll try & reply to all constructive feedback as I always do.

    These things are never one size fits all, it's easy to sit in our armchairs at home & pick the Promo to pieces, so it's never going to please everyone. 

    Ultimately, those that really want to do Vegas will give it a whirl, others won't. There are about £150,000 worth on offer, spread across 35 packages, but nobody is going to win one without a bit of effort.

    I have now edited my original post after reading the whole thing. Some of us are busy at work and just had 5 mins to read about STT/Cash leagues.

    It is quite a complicated & wide-ranging basket of Promotions, & it does need a bit of reading through.

    I think we need to give it a chance to breathe before we judge it too harshly, or even get too effusive in our praise.*
     
    * That's just in case someone does praise it. ;)

    Amen.

    People moan that its been AWOL for a couple of years. Comes back bigger and better than before (is this a first for the side packages?), and certain forum regs pick the promotion to pieces. Some without even reading the **** thing!

    There are gonna be 35 very happy people by the end of May, I just hope I'm one of them. But I go to Vegas at the end of May regardless so I'm happy ;)

    I guess some people will just complain about whatever promos Sky put on. It tends to be the same old faces, surprisingly.

    I'm looking forward to it. I wish you good luck in your quest for a package. If you can't play on May 23/24 then that's too bad.

    how is it not better than before though ? 

    You can't expect sky to give a 3.2k package to say the weekly mtter from mains this time round like they did with the Ukpc which was very generous by sky. 

    MTT players have a way to get in as they wish to via MTTs. How can it be better ? You have to realise sky aren't just going to give away the seats there trying to recuperate all of the money back somehow and rake races are the best way for them. 

    People are saying biggest spenders etc get the seats that way and right fully so In my opinion even if a fail in the sng one it will be because someone else deserved it more. Do you know how much work/hours those cash and sng weekly winners will put in for that given week ? 

    It would be a lot more than someone getting a seat via the bottom sat laddering up all the way, id love to do it that and will try but the weekly sng seats will be my best shot because I'm gonna put in the work to earn it.

    There is 12 packages for MTT players out of 35, which is around 1/3

    This is great as everyone has a go at it

    Hi prepared,

    You earn points in the SNG's by PLAYING them, not winning them.

    Good luck, & dib-dib-dob.
