By definition, best player and top 100 have won a significant amount of money, add to this the extra % rake back and if I am not mistaken there is a freeroll for priority players. There is a need to get new players and keep losing/break even players on the site, would further rewarding winning players have a positive effect overall or would it be prudent to reward the lower stakes and losing players?

yes, i agree tom this is designed for the players who are below the top 50 but in the top 1,000 really.
it can modify the volumes played by the group who aren't assured of top 100 places, as you rightly say they are happily catered for and rewarded. it is a focus on the players who do fairly well, or who may have binked one tournament. there are a thousand people who could be incentivised to play one or two more games.
i agree with your point. this is not another way of rewarding solely the top volume players. incidentally, that is why the starting stacks are the same.
hi tikay, i would like to create a new private freeroll tournament for those who feature in the top 100 of the Best Player league. my thinking is that this will be a monthly game (although a weekly version would work happily alongside) where those who feature in the top 100 Best Players at any stage through the period will qualify to enter. i would like everyone to have the same starting stack and that it is a fairly fast structured mtt starting at 10pm. the reasoning for this is to stimulate bursts of play and increasing volume too. those close to qualifying might be encouraged to play one or two more of the 20 daily £500+ guaranteed games in any 31 day period. anyway, cutting to the chase... is it possible the sky poker can fund this please? I like the idea of us having a tournament that rewards volume play for MTT players, very much like Priority does so well for cash and sit n go players. the prize money, say £500, would not be a cost as it would be derived from greater volumes. the likely number of players would be 120 for a weekly tournament and 160 for a monthly game. it is readily administered and reported on the forum pulling people here from all over to play in the 700 major tournaments on sky poker in any 31 day rolling month.

As much as I'd like to see MTT players get more benefits I really don't think this would be cost-effective for sky, or an incentive for players to push the volume. It would mainly consist of the usual MTT regs who feature near the top of the leaderboards, many of whom would probably be disinterested in playing a £500 freeroll (essentially a £4 comp if it gets 120 runners). I think something like this would be much better being aimed at people who would appreciate it, where winning £80-100 for first would be very significant. I'm not sure what criteria could be used for this to be a good venture for sky.

good points groggs. in a way, the very top players being disinterested might be a good thing. the purpose after all is to incentivise the middle to top group. i would play in a 120 player £500 free roll. i would think it was good if half the eligible players chose not to play. the balance between the prize-money and number of entrants is key.
anyway, just trying to get something going that benefits both sky poker and the volume recreational player.
