Some changes this week, as follows;

The nightly (weekdays only) Rewards Freeroll will now award TEN x £110 Super Roller seats each night to this week's £30,000 Super Roller.

So it remains the usual £1,000 cash prize pool, but the Top Ten finishers all get a seat into this Sunday's (31st January) £30,000 Guaranteed Super Roller.

Entry criteria to the £1,000 Rewards Freeroll is 50 points in the prior calendar week.

    The daily UKPC Freeroll has been replaced this week with the "Double Rewards Freeroll".

    The Top Finishers each evening (amount of prizes varies night to night) win a seat into the same evenings Double Guarantee Main Event.

    Tonight, it awards 15 x £33 seats to the £20,000 Doubled Guarantee BH @8pm tonight. 

    Tuesday, the Top 50 will all win a seat into the Turbo Tuesday Double Guarantee.

    Wednesday will also award 50 seats to the Rebuy.  
     
    And so on. Details of all the amount of seats per night to follow, but it seems to be around £500 worth each night. 
     
    Entry requirement for the Double Rewards Freeroll is 20 points in the preceding 24 hours.

    Very very good.

    Sometimes when I read some of the negative threads about reward points etc. it reminds me of that Monty Python sketch....'what have the Romans done for us?'

    Note these are 2 different Freerolls, with confusingly similar titles.

    They are shown in the lobby jobby as.....

    "£1,000 Rewards Freeroll"

    "Double Rewards FR"

    Those startlingly original but effective names were decided upon after much careful deliberation.

    Shouldn't it be £1100 reward freeroll?  I thought that 10 x £110 was £1100 not £1000 or has someone let Orford do the maths again?  :-)

    No, if anything it should be the £2,100 Freeroll.

    It has always awarded a £1,000 Prize Pool in cash, & still does, plus seats to whatever, in this case, £1,100 worth, in addition to the £1,000 cash.

    I will step up to the plate....;)

    7pm start freeroll for seats into the 8pm Main. Only draw back here is that the first one will not finish before the other one starts. Just an observation really, not a 'complaint' as such...ish.

    The late reg for the Main tonight is 8 levels (12 min levels). The point I was trying to make was it may have been better to award seats into a different night or even issue a tournament token to be used by the winners when convenient for them. 

    I agree though that having an opinion on this forum sometimes gets treated as moaning in some quarters....even if you are trying to improve things for all.

    I like to have a cup of tea and a bun at 2.20pm.  Any chance you can change this to the £2.30 @ 2.30 to accommodate me?
