HENDRIK62

I like the idea of variety, with a few different options and if this is easy enough then that would be my vote.

I would personally like a 9 handed, deepstack, short clock, plo8, bounty hunter, rebuy. ;-)

I vote PLO8 (big suprise there huh).

I voted for turbo, I have to agree with tommyD. Not too sur whether to say well done or unlucky for spurs this year. My Leicester city did well.

I may be missing something, is there a link to the games which the office juniors suggested?

Change the structure, game daily, hold em, Deepstack, pl08 , bounty hunter.

Probably depends what you are viewing on.

I can never see polls on my android phone but always work on windows laptop.

I think long term NL has to be the game of choice for the rewards FRs if the main aim is to encourage recreational players to play for at least 50pts.

I seem to remember there was a FR with seats to a UKOPS PLO event and people complained that you needed to win a NL event to qualify for it. When it was changed to a PLO event there were as many if not more complaints so not guaranteed to receive universal approval.

Having said that it would be fun to mix it up and try special themed weeks every now and again.

PS poll should be tick all that apply.

Hyper turbo PLO8 B/H has to be the future.

The timed freerolls were always popular they also spread money more evenly.

a dym free roll where every table has 6 players and play down to a final 3, then all players left in share the prizepool, genius idea

seriously though i like the idea of having a different kind of freeroll every night 

MICKYBLUE

how bout this.

split the prizepool so we can have 2 freerolls like someone suggested. so £500 each freeroll 

a lunchtime freeroll for players who cant do later on. now this would need to be super turbo so players who are on lunch from work can play.

then nightly so we can remove the turbo from the schedule due to lunchtime freeroll being fast. 

mon bounty hunter +antes

tues normal +antes

wed omaha +antes

thur rebuy/addon +antes

fri deepstack +antes

so basically everybody should get a freeroll of there choice and be able to play, i must admit due to my shift work, i dont get to play them much.

edit as lower prizepools the payouts should lower maybe top 50 to make rewards worth it. say 20 places @£5 20 places @£10 with rest top 10

thanks

The FR at the moment but with a little bit more play in them slightly longer clock or more chips, also like the idea of changing them each day.

Mixed tourney, switching from Holdem to plo8 back and forth as the levels progress.

RLT's idea kind of alluding to a DYM shooutout format would be amazing and something I have never seen on any poker site. Would be brilliant for any MTT's nevermind freerolls.

For example, say there are 192 entrants...

32 x 6 handed tables, each table plays until 3 left who qualify for the next step. Then the remaining players form 16 x 6 handed tables with each playing till 3 left (probably ITM at this stage). Then repeating till we have 1 6 handed table which plays as normal.

Seen plenty shootouts where you have to win your table but none where each round is played in DYM format. Would love this!

Also like Ger's idea on mixing the games each level.

Regarding the 'low cost rebuy/add on' idea. This would be great way of getting rid of player points from players accounts and stop this coming up as an issue. Keep the prizepool the same, so no cost to Sky (we get plenty value out our points anyway). This would also proportionately reward those who earn more points, encourage players to earn more points, still give those earning minimal player points a chance and cost Sky nothing.

Partypoker had this format Mark, they called it shootouts, I liked it but it took a while for all the tables to finish so I think you would have to have the timed, or else a turbo format.

Were they just regular shootouts Ger with 1 player progressing or did half the table progress to the next round? Used to play the odd shootout but have never heard of them anywhere where half the table progresses as in a DYM.

Half the table progressed.

Ah okay, surprised they didn't spread to other sites. Never seen them on any I play on. Used to play the odd game on PP, I must have had my oh8 filters drown them out...

POKERTREV

I like the Mix it up each night idea.....

I'm not an omaha player, but, if we had a mix up week, I could see this being a great way to introduce players to this type of format.
