    Will the tournaments be 'badged'? ie, a gold,silver or bronze icon added to the relevant ones in the MTT Lobby. Not sure if the software could implement this (or a little man behind the scenes could be given the job), but I believe it would be worthwhile to gain interest in each of the relevant games (from players who may not know about the podium series etc).

    The MTT Lobby will include "GOLD", "SILVER" & "BRONZE" tabs, though not until Monday, as they don't want to over-clutter the Lobby during Super Weekend.

    Thereafter, the Tourneys will spawn "on the day" & so players only need refer to the tabs.

    Might be a stupid question, however just to clarify, if you win (or top 10) a bronze tournament, you get x points. Highest number of points puts you on the leaderboard. In top 20 and you win something from the prize breakdown?

    Wonder how many points will roughly be needed to get on the board?

    Well yes. It's a weekly league table, so the more points you earn by finishing in the top 10 of nominated tournaments, the better chance you have. In the Bronze League, yes, top 20 in the league would earn you a Podium Points prize.

    Points needed to get on the leaderboard? No idea, sorry, but I'm guessing the more the better.

    FANTASTIC Promotion for MTT players!

    Just awesome @Tikay10

    Best MTT promo from Sky that I have ever seen!

    I for one will put more volume in on Sky compared to the other sites I play as a result of this.

    VWP SKY.

    OUTSTANDING!

    I take it we can opt in now. Or do we have to wait until Monday?

    That's good to hear @StayOrGo

    It's really tough to find MTT Promos that work. Promos need to incentivise players to play more in return for extra rewards, so both parties - the players & The Business - see benefit. It remains to be seen if this one will tick both boxes. For sure, players will share £25,000 that would not otherwise exist, but whether it will yield enough extra traffic to pay for the £25,000 will be interesting to see.

    I hope it does yield the benefit for Sky. It is a great promo for regulars and recreational players alike. The breakdown of "qualifying" MTT's is perfect imo. Enough volume, without being too much and at times when players are available.

    Personally, I will miss the odd day or two, due to Table Tennis matches, which may cost me, but that is my problem. I look forward to seeing the league tables and watching the progress of my Sky Poker friends

    Fair play to SKY for giving it a go. Totally agree, these things have to "work" for both parties.

    I am sure it will bring more traffic to the site and potential new customers going forward too.

    I would recommend players spreading the word. Yes it would mean more competition, but holistically it is good for everyone if more players and MTT volume can be generated. As @Tikay10 says it needs to "tick both boxes"

    Best of luck all!

    Spurs fans are quite happy to wait many years for the next St Totteringham's Day.

    On a separate note, this new series looks great. Just 1 thought-if it runs again (and I hope it does), could it include 1 week where there is a daytime competition (12-6, or some such) for variety? Could also boost daytime numbers.

    This is the best promo for MTT players that Sky have done in ages.

    VWP-I hope that this becomes an offer regularly (tho not all the time, of course)

    Phil

    I think 5 years is long enough. Bring it back!
