Those reductions above are part of the fettling & tweaking taking part almost daily, as the new Schedule beds in.
Traffic has been really good, but some of the new Guarantees were a bit ambitious, & a bit soon.
The plan - all being well - is to stick with those that are struggling a little longer with reduced Guarantees, & then, as the seasonality kicks in, & players get more comfy with the what, when & how much of the new schedule, raise the Guarantees again.
Be really interesting to see the numbers n this week's Sunday Major - last Sunday it was 70% above what it was a month ago, & in fact the highest non-UKOPS Super Roller (as was) field for 18 months.
What is the reasoning behind the removal of the £5 Deep stack at 7.45pm? I have often played them and they seem to make the guarantee so can't see why they would be taken off the schedule? Maybe I am missing something. Posted by Brrrrrrr
Hi Pete,
Yes, a little unfortunate for those that enjoyed this one, but it was removed for tactical reasons.

Tactical reasons?
Ever the optimst (being a Lecester fan, it does work, look at last season!) I will assume that tactical reasons mean because there is something even better in the pipelne for those of us who like reasonably priced Deep Stacks
I know there is a £2.20 one in the evening which attracts a reasonable field but wondered if any at the £5 or higher were bring considered, even if they were only a few times a week rather than daily.
While I accept Sky's main selling point is six max tables and Bounty Hunters, there are loyal Sky players who like to p!ay other things as well.

Not that I am aware of Pete, but I'll ask the question in the morning.
Think we both know the likely answer, but it's a fair question, so I will ask.
There is a £5.50 Freezeout every night at 9pm, though it's not a Deep Stack (it has 2,000 starting chips), HERE
I fear the issue is that it's hard to get enough players to play "regular" Deepstacks these days. If I were still playing MTT's, that's what I'd play, as I'm not into all this Fancy Dan stuff, but the times they are a changing, as Mr Dylan famously sung, or, more correctly, wailed.

Hi, yes I do play that when I can but as you say it's not a Deepstack. The lack of Deepststacks is a shame but not a lot I can do about it and the fact I have seen no other posts bemoaning their demise suggests I am in the minority!
Don't get me wrong, I do like the Bounty Hunters but not all the time.
In Response to Re: MTT changes & discussion thread : Thanks - typically that's the one night I am normally out so can't play. I will zip it on the subject now I promise ☺☺ Posted by Brrrrrrr
Fwiw, I agree with you on this anyway, don't see why it can't be run nightly.
Cheers for running the Naps league again by the way, really enjoyed it last year.
The 7:45 £11 BH could this be made a 1k gtee BH and also the 8:15pm through out the whole week (during the winter)
Also, Could the 11:30 at the weekend Fri and Sat, also be made a £1k Gtee normal structure bh like the 11pm and 12:30pm.
These MTT's always seem to smash their gtees,so pretty sure the 11:30 would also do very well as it historically did until its relegation to a £500 turbo mtt.
The Bounty Hunter Champion High Roller, which runs at 1945 every night until January 29th, will now be a £10,000 Guarantee 6 nights per week, & £15,000 on a Sunday.
Previously it was £15,000 on Saturday & Sunday, but unforch, on Saturdays it was missing the G'tee by some way allowing for the Freebies that were given away, so Saturday has been reduced to £10,000. Sunday remains at £15,000.

The Bounty Hunter Champion High Roller continues to struggle, & so for weeks 3 & 4 the Guarantees will be as follows:
Monday to Friday High Roller, £8,000.
Saturday & Sunday will remain as per previous post, that is to say £10,000 on Saturdays & £15,000 on Sundays.
The Main Event is a headache, too, so for weeks 3 & 4 (which starts on Monday), the Bounty Hunter Champion Main Event Guarantees will be;
Mondays through Wednesday - £8,000
Thursday through Sunday - £10,000
