    So the challenge is now set in stone.

    Here is a taster.



    For those that have missed the announcement thread in the lobby like i did its pinned at the very top.

    REMEMBER with these games the 25points in 24 hour qualification means if you time your games right you can get access to 2 days worth for 1 x 25pt session, time it even better and you could earn 2 x entry into the Sunday major nightly freeroll.

    I set myself the challenge of using this Sky promo before i saw it announced and have since decided to limit my bankroll to £10

    My belief is that anyone with a little time, and i reading this, should also give this challenge a go, making full use of this particular sky promotion is a great way of trying to building a bankroll.

    All games i play during the promotion period will count, buy in and free roll games included.

    Starting tomorrow with the £0.28 turbo DYM's, 25 of these are mind numbing boring but the idea at this stage is to get 25 points by the cheapest means possible, remember to make use of the 18:00 Sunday major freeroll and the nightly freeroll if you get chance. Obviously the eliminator free roll is a must.

    I will be providing daily reports of my own, feel free to post yours.

    Give it a go, you never know.

    Sounds good!
    I'll grind the micro turbo dyms every other morning at 8
    If anyone fancies a quick game :)

    Thanks for the tip @coo1-um . I had no idea you could get points so "cheaply" and relatively risk free.

    I had a similar start, up about £1 from the DYMs and 50p from the 10:00 freeroll.
    At least at micro stakes a bad beat is a lot easier to laugh about :)

    After 5 games this morning i was able to register for the Eliminator game tonight.

    as long as you have 25pts in the previous 24hrs from the point which you register you will be allowed entry. so the later you enter the more chance of 'points' becoming unavailable to you.

    Good luck with this challenge @coo1-um . Certainly one of the best promos that Sky run and I'll definitely be playing as many of the freerolls as I can.

    Hope you win a few UKOPS tickets at the end of it all.

    I am hoping i can build a bankroll for UKOPS (thats the November challenge but its all hush hush at the moment) only the bankroll from this though.

    Didn't realise i had 3 days to report, though not a lot happened.
    Last day of week 1 eliminator tonight and entered already on yesterdays points.

    The Balance will be tested tonight as i look to add the 3 PLO8 BH games into my schedule, those these will only generate 9pts of the 25 required for Fridays game and use 2/3rds of my bankroll to boot, so lets hope i run well otherwise i may have to play some points freerolls.

    Week 1 of the Eliminator freerolls complete, and placed equal 122nd in the table.
    Congrats to the winners.

    More aggression in this in the coming week, also adding in more tournaments.

    Added prizes to the rewards freerolls from tomorrow. At least the balance is heading in the right direction.

    WP to @_Mr_Chips_ for a 2nd place finish in the eliminator, quite a few bounties taken too. Unlucky not to win in the end.


  • _Mr_Chips__Mr_Chips_ Member Posts: 257
    Thank you @coo1-um
    We seemed to be on the same table for ages last night, both surviving 'til the FT where I was fortunate to get good hands at the right time. Apart from the very last one :smile:

    Withs seats awarded to =20th in the eliminator league, current sat =23rd after four days, would expect to need another 7 or 8 to stand a chance of a top 20 finish.

    Showing on my account that i got 11pts yesterday, but as you can see from the above it should be 16 with no lap over on days.

    5 pts ties in nicely with 5no 28p DYMs played yesterday did these award points?, so i have at least 9 points and maybe 14 to earn before 8:15

    Anyone who is playing the 28p DYMs should check their points prior to the eliminator freeroll registration as it may cause an issue, it certainly looks like mine are not showing at present.
