    In Response to Re: whats happened to LEAGUE STARS FREEROLL CASH??? / / This is NOT a Moaning or Whinging Thread - 84.3% yes to cash :    firstly Tony thanks for replying ok i missed a K of the £8(loads of people make mistakes or miss letters not just me)  but its pretty obvious i was refering to the prize structure advertised on League Stars Freeroll   as far as my approval goes does not come into it as the question was weither people   prefered cash payout or win a seat (no malice aimed at the new promotion at all )   also other issues were raised as well  at the end of the day Tony i have no problem whats so ever with any tourney on this site  i just won't be playing as many tourneys for league points as i don't have the game to compete for 10 seats i'll just have a go at sats from time to time   dtw

    I never criticised you for your error Michael, that's not my place, & there but for the grace of God go I.

    But you set up a Poll based on information which was wholly misleading, & as such that affected the Vote, & the Thread. I don't think it unreasonable that I corrected that error, do you? It might only be a missing "k", but it completely changed the message.

    I'm sorry to hear you will not be playing so many Tourneys on Sky Poker. Personally, I find them very enjoyable, irrespective of the collateral Freerolls & Bonuses that accompany them.

    I'm aware that "other issues" were raised, Michael, & I'm trying to work my way through them one by one, right now.

    In Response to Re: whats happened to LEAGUE STARS FREEROLL CASH??? / / 83.3% of Vote would like Cash Payout : The buy-in is £220, not £10, Michael.

        thats correct Tony  but i assume there are sats into it as well if this is not the case i stand corrected  also £10 average buy-in was in reference to tourneys in general  that get you points towards league  

       as  this threadis getting ripped apart  in future i will make sure that any threads i post will be word perfect that way there will be no confusion at all

        as for  eligible players voting i'm sure sky Rich or someone from Sky Poker would have that info

    Really cannot believe this thread never got a proper reply so disappointing.

    I did say, several times, that I would reply, & also apologised that, right now, I'm a little pre-occupied with some other matters which have affected my availability - as you may see from a Post I will make, possibly later today.

    Sorry?

    I'm working my way through your, & others questions Michael, & handling it politely & civilly, with due respect to your position as a Client. I have not "ripped you apart", I have not even criticised you. Please demonstrate one example where I have "ripped you apart", or anyone else. When have I ever ripped anyone apart on this, or any other Forum?

    You asked questions, repeatedly, on this Thread, & via scores of PM's. I am simply doing what you repeatedly asked me to do - reply to them.

    It was necessary, with respect, to point out that the premis for the Thread was based on "£8" when it should have been £8,000", which is quite different.

    The question as to how many players are entitled to vote was rhetorical.

    i played in the league tournament but i never realised the cash had been taken away till we were down to the last 30 people when i checked the cash payouts. i dont think there was enough advertising of the new payouts. I cant complain about the cash as i did get the £25 for finishing in the top 10 stt, but if i knew the league payouts had been changed i wouldnt have played as it is impossible for me to play these 'big' tournaments at night which i gather is the problem with a lot of the other players, however I certainly dont want to sound ungrateful as sky certainly does put on a lot of good things for us all. But please change the league stars back lol

    Hi Chris,

    Yes, it we could put the clock back, I agree, (& this is my personal view, not a Company line) the timing of the announcement change could have been better.

    It masy or may not change back in due course, but soundings were taken from many players before the change, & the view was overwhelmingly in favour of trying somethinmg different along the lines implemented.

          well i've played my last League Stars Freeroll (unless cash payout returns ) so in a way Sky Poker will be saving me some cash as i won't be playing as many tourneys as i used to (shame really) gl to all the top players in future League Freerolls ( as structure is for you guys )     maybe Sky Poker could set up a little league for the average players on this site (something to play for) but i for one will not be holding much hope for that     So SKY POKER What Say You ??   dtw     THE LEAGUE IS DEAD " LONG LIVE THE LEAGUE "

    Who do you define as "the average players" on this Site, Michael? Are we not, as a whole, & by definition, ALL the average players?

    In Response to Re: whats happened to LEAGUE STARS FREEROLL CASH??? : A good & fair question. In that particular set of circumstances, I wholly agree, & if indeed you "double-qualified" inadvertently, I'm pretty sure Sky Poker would, quite correctly, ensure you were not disadvantaged. If you did "double-qualify", please send me a PM, & I will ensure it is sorted out fairly & properly on this occasion.

    thanks for your reply, i wish i had known this befor sunday freeroll as i would of tried to win another seat.
    someone has stated earlyer in this thread that if you qualify twice for a mtt you only get one seat and no refund for the other.
    I think what most peoples beef is that they should of been informed of what the payout was befor they tried to qualify for the league stars.

    In Response to Re: whats happened to LEAGUE STARS FREEROLL CASH??? / / 80.5% of Vote would like Cash Payout : +1. I didnt last too long but like DTW says above, it seems this is  another tournament structured for the bigger players on Sky Poker. And I will not be trying again to get into this as much this month and hence saving me some money. I feel that Sky Poker are trying to cater for those 'bigger' boys on here and are neglacting the average player/smaller cash  players which is a shame really as we are all classed as poker players regardless of BR or spend on this site. Please note that this is not a sour grapes post but my overall veiw at the moment. GL to Mr Bandit and all us 'little' players on here!!!

    Hi Alan,

    Are you really suggesting that Sky Poker favour the bigger players?

    The evidence to the contrary would take me all day to type. IMO, that is, of course.

    I don't think any site has such a bias towards the lower buy-in Levels, & if anything, the high-rollers are discriminated against.

    I think that's fair comment, but we cannot turn the clock back now. There is no "perfect" date really, but yes, personally, I take on board what you say.

    Correct. And some are worse than others.

    Mix them together, & you end up with what is known as "the average player".
