Daily Winner Takes All! SnGs now feed into Sunday's £15k Roller

Hi all,

You can now qualify directly into Sunday's £15k Roller by playing a 10-seater Winner Takes All! sit & go tournament which I have highlighted and will continue to do so for this week. Will then start looking at doing similar things for the other main events.

Happy to consider alternatives, keep your ideas coming. Would you play a 20-seater for £5.50? I have my doubts about this. It might take far too long to fill up and I'm not sure how keen people are on this format these days.

Some of you have mentioned step-up tournaments -  I would love to use this format but we don't currently have the functionality I'm afraid.

Dedicated to improving things like this over the coming weeks/months, all of your feedback is extremely valuable.

    Sounds good, really hope it works. 

    In place of the 'steps ' variant once you can issue tokens then that could be an option?

    i think there should be 5.50 alternatives too but maybe just make them in a turbo format otherwise they would last far too long. also some £22 either 1 in 5 or 2 in 10 would be good, reckon lots of them would run on sunday afternoons.

    Thanks for this. It has been asked for many times so I really hope they are supported.

    Bit too rich for me personally - Steps would be good so you could enter a £1 10max to get a seat in the £10 SAT but I understand that may need development to allow.

    When the tourney tokens are sorted could some tourney token SNGs be set up at various buy ins?

    Failing that if an equivalent at £3 could be done for entry to a £33 main I would probably play those instead of all-ins, frenzies or MTT sats.

    Don't think this is showing on mobile, dear me. Will fix tomorrow - you can't see 10 seater tourneys at current.

    I rarely play regular satellites so doubt I'll play many of these but do like Winner take all games. However, the blind level increases and structure means these are going to go on for way too long. It will take 2 hours and 10 minutes before the blind levels are less than Ten BB's when it gets down to HU. So I can envision most games taking roughly 2 hours - and don't think many people are going to be that interested in playing for 2 hours to win a tournament seat for later in the week.

    Think the blind limits should really be cut down by a half and make them 5 minutes and it would attract more people. I'd even be up for some sort of hyper structure.

    Been registered to the £11 sat for the last 2 hours - I'm still the only runner lol.  Are these sats not popular or just difficult to find in a sit and go lobby??

    Any better time someone could recommend for me to try these?

    Thanks!

    for me, the roller may not be the best event to trial sit and go sats for, especially without a step up system which dan has said isnt viable at the moment. i think it should be trailed on some of the cheaper daily Mains, like the £33 Bh, why not have a 6max £5.50 each winner takes all into that?

    Highlighted in the SNG lobby (unless you are on a tablet/phone interface - in which case they dont show because you can only see 2 or 6 seated tables).

    Perhaps they should also get some promotion, e.g. banners, emails, chat box etc, promotions page?

    People looking for SATS wiithout reading here will naturally be in the MTT lobby.

    Also think price and structure may have an impact.

    Im reaLLY looking Phanthom66, I dont see them.

    They probably arent generating any traffic. Ive had a good look just now, I looked last night. I looked when I spotted this thread.

    If I still cant see them after 3 attempts, what chance do they have. Im on my PC.

    They're not in the tournament tab - they're under SIT and GO.  It's acually highlighted in yellow near the top of the list - or just sort it alpabettically by clicking the "sit and go" filter option and "Winner" will either be at top or bottom of list depending on how many times you click it lol.

    Yeah think should go in sat section, will be shocked if no one takes up in this as everyone has jumped on it and said want it :(

    I also think that this would suit the lower stakes player so a £5.50 6 max for £33 would work best, but get trying to up the roller numbers

    Still there...

    SitnGo Tab?
    All types?
    If you use filters at the bottom then 10 seat will need to be checked

    Thank you , I did find them after your walk through. Ive been checking back to see if you  replied. Thanks for that.

    After viewing them, my feedback....

    Im a 6 max player.

    I like a prize structure with tiers.

    When I look into a new structure type, I filter to see how many are running/ completed/ waiting

    there was spawned 1 table, non running and non completed.

    ITs doomed.


    thanks again for pointing me there though.
