How to take part? Easy-peasy;
Step 1 → Opt in to your chosen league by entering the promo code. You can only play in 1 league.
Step 2 → Earn poker points every day to turn them into league points.
Step 3 → The top poker point earners in each league will get league points based on their daily rank. For more information on league points see the 'How do I earn league points?' drop down.
Step 4 → The leaderboard for each league will be updated daily and will be displayed in their drop downs below.
Step 5 → The players with the most league points at the end of the week will win a share of the league's prizepool.
Step 6 → Not having luck in your chosen league? You can switch leagues at any time by entering a different league's promo code. Just be aware that any points already earned in that week will be wiped and not carried over.
Very important to read that stuff carefully.
You MUST opt in.
You can change Leagues any time you wish, but time it carefully, as all points from the previous league earned that week will be lost once you switch.
FAQ's
Q. Can I play in more than one league?
A. No, can only play in one league.
Q. Can I change leagues?
A. Yes, you can change leagues at any time by entering the new league's promo code. But please note, any points already earned will not be carried over.
Q. Do I need to opt in to play?
A. Yes, each league has it's own promo code. Details can be found under each league's drop down below.
Q. Do I need to opt in each week?
A. No. Unless you enter a different promo code, you'll automatically stay in the previous league that you played in.
Q. If I change leagues, do my points get carried over?
A. No, your points accrued are refreshed once you join a new league. The best time to join a new league is right at the start of a new week.
Could we have it in this terms and cons so players will be aware. And if they ask we can copy and paste them the term and condition reflecting this?
After asking, ill go read the T&C's.
11. Poker Points will be awarded once a player stands from the table. Please be aware that this is vitally important when approaching the end of each week (Sunday Midnight). If a player stands after the turn of Sunday midnight, all points earned during that session will go on to the new week, Monday leaderboard not Sunday. .
EDIT
Correction, all poker points earned DO count, so if extra points are earned in, say, Jump Start, these count for the Sky Poker Premiership.
Apologies for the duff info earlier.
Guys, quick reminder to be VERY careful of this;
“Once you have opted in to your chosen league, do not opt in to the same league again. This will override any progress in that league and ALL LEAGUE POINTS WILL BE LOST.
Who has opted in so far, & what League have you chosen?
Im not sure where they come from or where they go when they go, but watching their plays has been good for my game.
Don't forget, Sky Poker Premiership stats on Monday.
If you plan to take part, make sure you Opt In.
Also do all poker points count towards it? Which games gives you the highest points?
Thanks to anyone who answers my question.
"Stand" means leave the table of a cash game. It does not really apply to MTT's or SNG's. In essence, it only really matters on a Sunday evening if you are playing late, in which case, you must "stand" just before midnight, otherwise your points will not count for the current week, but will carry forward to the next week.
All poker points count, yes.
Which games give us the highest points? That's a bit "how long is a piece of string?", & I'll need some help from one of the helpful regular guys on here. I'd have thought cash games generated most points, but if you play very nitty & don't enter many pots, maybe not. A £11 MTT (£10 + £1 reg fee) gives us identical points as a £11 DYM or SNG (£10 + £1 reg fee), but one can take 3 or 4 hours, & the other only lasts half an hour or so, so you'd accumulate more points playing back to back DYM's. I really need one of the regular guys to help with this answer, to be honest.
