Two extra bits of Info,.........one good, one not so good.
Not so good. The "Tourney Titles" can only be a MAXIMUM of 18 characters long, including spaces. (So "Rich Orford Deepstack" ( = 4+1+6+1+9=21) is TOO LONG). So, a maximum of 18 Characters, including spaces, please.
Good.
The "Sky Super Seven" will start NEXT WEEK!
Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday are already set up (Spartacus, Mick Jenn & tikay respectively), so the new Tourneys will start from Thursday (20th August) of next week.
The Reg Fees will be £10 + £1, £5 + £0.50, & £3 + £0.30.

Sounds great! I will play these most nights. Will the prize pools be GTD to encourage more entries? Posted by GREGHOGG
Hi Greg,
Hope you are well.
As far as I am aware, the Prize Pools will NOT be Guaranteed, & personally, I hope they are not.
If players want these Tourneys, then a Guarantee is not necessary. We are playing to have a little fun, that's the idea.
If Sky Poker have to put up a Guarantee, & players decide not to support the Tourney, Sky Poker will reduce, or drop, the Guarantee. They'd have to, it would make no sense to subsidise Tourney Overlays most nights, & so they would end up pulling the Tourneys, simply because they were forking out the Overlay. And then we'd lose "our" Tourneys.......
Without a Guarantee, they have absolutely no excuse not to offer up these Tourneys. Which were what we wanted, & as far as I recall, nobody said they needed to be Guaranteed.
If Sky Poker were owned by me......(lol, gawd help you all) I'd let these Tourneys "float" for a few weeks, & see how they go, before making any radical changes. Once it gets to late September, & darker nights, I reckon they will get very good fields.
Have a great weekend down there in sunny Folkestone.
Orfords Cheapstack = 18 characters for the £3 Sky Comm Deepstack = 18 characters for the £5 Michelles Bigstack = 18 characters for the £10 ) Posted by annie_duke
Good try Annie, but not good enough.
There needs to be an apostrophe in "Orford's" for it to be gramatically correct.
Thusly.....
"Orford's Cheapstack". Which equals - give me a mo - err, 19 characters. Just too many, sadly.......

Sorry i meant 18 i knew it was spot on the required amount

Hi Tikay, yes im well thanks, hope your ok.
I'm looking forward to a poker free weekend in the sunny Costa Del Folkestone. Yes im taking a few days off to reassess my game but I will be back soon for the new deepies!!
Yes it makes sense to not GTD them until we can prove we are getting the necessary numbers. Thanks for taking the time to explain and i reckon we can get 200+ runners for 5.5 deepie buyins too! It will happen and we will make it happen!
I agree with the other posts which say we should have an "ACEBARRY" MTT.The guy is a legend on this site, and his support railing me over the last few months has been appreciated. His loyalty should be rewarded imo.

re earlier tourney naming entry & keeping in mind the character limit i've come up with this
the main title would be the N.P.T. then each week you could name them after different types of players for example
1st week £10 DaveyZZ NPT / £3 JIMBO31 NPT / £3 Mr m bro NPT ETC...
N.P.T Stands for New Poker Tourney's
dtw
