Biggest bounty prize?
£10,000
Mystery Bounty Format
The Mystery Bounty tournament will have a £330 entry cost with £150 going towards the prize pool, £150 going towards bounty prizes with £30 in fees. The tournament will have the same structure as our previous SPTs with 2 day 1s and will play to a conclusion on the Sunday. Players may re-enter on each day up to a total of 4 entries across the 2 day 1s.
Bounty prizes come into play once players are in the money positions on day 2. e.g if we decide to pay out 35 places there will be 35 bounty prizes. When you knock a player out in the money you will pick a prize at random. These prizes will be of varying amounts depending on the prize pool with a top prize of £10,000! More details to follow...

Satellites begin 28th October
There are vey few "empty" dates in the calendar these days wynne. Don't think there's too much crossover though, APAT is £110, SPT is £330.
Sure you will price out quite a few players but those are probably the ones which will only buy in once and the bigger buy in may bring others prepared to multi buy in into the equation.
Couple of questions from me.
Is this buy in a ‘one off’ ? players who won previous seats expecting to be able to use them for the next SPT find themselves out of pocket so to speak. (Well not exactly but you know what I mean)
With the additional bounties been paid to cashing players does this mean it will also be more of a flat payment structure.
Great concept though. Have you considered having a couple of mystery players that carry a secret bounty, this could in effect be taken from the prize pool. Not identified as such until they are eliminated.
I guess collusion could hinder this slightly.

A "one-off"? I honestly don't know, I suppose it depends how well received it is. James may know but in truth it's unlikely he has fully decided what the format will be in 2023 & will make his decision based on how this one goes.
The payout structure will be constructed between the Venue & Sky Poker & will not have been finalised yet, but I'm quite sure they'll take the format into account.
Normal price around £60 pn. for RLWC final weekend £250 pn. Many are already booked out by Aussies, gotta love that confidence eh.
......I wondered why hotels were almost double what I paid in September.....sigh
Sadly I don't think I will be there
Def worth a shot with trying something new. Very difficult to satellite in though with the higher buy in.
Sounds like a plan !
secondly since this would not equal the buyin would I have the option of coming and entering using the £220 buyin against the price and paying the £110 difference?
Q2; Yes
she should so get into poker she has a sick memory like absolutely ridiculous. but she doesnt want to get into gambling right now seriously if she did she would likely be better then me within a year but she has confidence issues.
So my girlfriend likely wont be buying in but she come up with me to see her mates etc.
