Could we squeeze in a few more MTTs for the current traffic boom?

In terms of higher buy in stuff I think we could fit in a 55 @ 6:30/7 and a 33 (turbo?) @ 9:30/45 or something along those lines. Maybe something at 11:30 too.

We tried an early 55 a while back and it did ok for a while but ultimately died due to lack of numbers. Can see it being different now though.

Maybe others could suggest other things they would like to see?

    This must be one of the best chances of getting MTTs added to the schedule.

    Suggest something and then help promote it and I would of thought we have a good chance of it staying in the regular schedule.

    I think the 9.45 and 10.15 slots could maybe do with something. Maybe £33bh turbo at 9.45 and 10.15 could be a £11bh deepstack turbo.

    Would people be keen on a £11r bh at 9.45?

    I think this is a fantastic Idea, I'm surprised we haven't seen the early £55 come back already, between 6pm and 7:30 there really isn't much at the mid and higher stakes to play other than the 7at7 which plays like a freeroll. I like the sound of £33 turbo that would be juicy

    @MattBates I would love another £11r bh in the schedule, the 5pm game always does well, its my favourite tournament on sky, I'm more gutted busting that than the main for some reason haha.

    I'll certainly look to add to the schedule. Any suggestions are welcome.

    Great news :)

    6:45 £11 or £22 bh
    7pm £55 bh
    9:45 £11r bh (as matt suggested)
    9:30 £33 turbo bh

    I would love to see a £22 freezeout in there too but I know everyone prefer's bountys

    +1 for another 11r and 33, 6.45pm and 9.45pm sound like the best times in terms of not starting at the same time as much else

    Whilst this thread is young, what about one or two extra £2.20 deepies . they are doubling their £100 GT atm.

    5:15
    6:15
    8:15

    not impacting too much on the evening stress.

    Boost the 5pm 11r to 1k, replace the 22 6pm and turn into a 5kgtd warmup

    3r and 5r turbos at 3.15 and 4.15pm

    midday express

    Boost all evening gtds in general

    sky poker primo on sundays 7pm, run a daily evening sat to it

    any turbos after like 7pm would go down well. Def think a 22 and 33 turbo would do well - even 5r and 11s

    How about having an MTT or two with the rake or even part of the prize pool going to NHS charities?

    In addition to the above suggestions, I think you could be really bold and have a £22 BH at 30 minutes past the hour, and a £55 BH on the hour, every hour between mid-day and 7pm tbh.

    Guarantees don't need to be massive to start.

    I think early afternoon traffic at this staking level is an area where more people may now play. I currently play other sites at these times, but would play Sky if there were MTT's.

    Would anyone else play these early afternoon?

    MTT Leader boards, like other sites are doing, would also be great and generate a much needed "fun aspect" at this time too. They could also encourage people to play the afternoon games.

    I appreciate that it would be unethical to be seen to be profiteering during the Corona Virus crisis, but I think moves like this would, in the most part, be a positive thing for comaraderie etc, as long as there was something for the lower stakes too, so not just the higher stake guys can participate.

    Just as a side note, I still advise people to side with caution when betting, but feel increased Poker MTT traffic is "safer" than Spins and increased traffic on the "online casino" side, so would welcome and increased MTT schedule.

    Just a thought.

    A 3pm multi-seat qualifier.

    This could initially be for UKOPS, then for daily/Sunday majors.

    Avoid anything that is a single-seat qualifier.

    Love the idea of a few more mtts, a 33 turbo and a nightly 11r or even a 5r would be fantastic additions.
