Thanks for a super promotion. I have had 40000 points burning a hole in my pocket for a couple of years ! Happy to have made it through to Thursdays final at second attempt, but with such a big field it will be a real challenge. But I do have a slight concern as I noticed the numbers for last nights Vegas quarter final were slightly down. Normally I would be trying to qualify for Sundays semi on a few nights through the week, but there is always the danger of making it twice ! There were a few regular names missing last night, so I would imagine that others feel the same. Would Sky consider holding one of the seats for a later date if any of us are lucky enough to get to the semi or even the monthly final by two different routes ? Posted by penguin7
Hi Penguin,
We always try to be flexible and if a player was in that situation then we would be happy to consider holding back one entry for a later Vegas Semi/Final. If that were to happen the player would just need to contact our Customer Care team to let them know.

Thanks for that, Dave.
Last nights qtr was so poorly supported that I think it didnt run ! I hope that with your reply we can attract a big enough field tonight to make it worth playing for me and any others who are already looking forward to tomorrows Points Fest.

No worries. Our feeling is some of the players who will be trying to get into the Vegas Semi or Final will be trying the Points Fest route first. We're confident they'll come out in force if they're unsuccessful.
I was just looking through the list of runners for the Points Fest Final tomorrow night. 242 reg'd already and check out some of the boys and girls who are coming out to play!

Good luck picking your winner out of that lot (and of course all the others who have registered - good luck to all!).

You are certainly hedging your bets there on your likely winner, Dave !
Just had a look myself and think I can find a few you have missed :
I know, both you and Penguin7 are right... how Maxally got on and some proper players were left off I don't know. I blame my bad choice of shirt today.
It is a tough looking competition though, that's for sure. Toughest freeroll seen on Sky Poker in quite some time? I'm going to get a bag of popcorn and watch this one unfold.
Any chance of adding some QF places for places 7 to 15 in this? With (ATM) 262 runners and only 6 places 'paying', = @ 43/1 shot. They are normally the odds given to West Brom winning a game! ) Prob not I know, but you dont get if you dont ask Posted by MAXALLY
Afraid not, Maxally. Prize structure was set from the outset...
I won a 10 seater vegas fest at 21.50. What does this mean? Posted by wynne1938
Hi Wynne,
There shouldn't have been any Vegas Points Fest tournaments running at that time. Could you contact Customer Care to let them know and they'll resolve it for you.
Congratulations to Rosjim1 on winning a seat to the Viva Las Vegas Final! Here are the list of those who picked up seats. 1st - Rosjim1 (VLV Final Seat) 2nd - Leon261 (VLV Semi Seat) 3rd - MRBURNS4 (VLV Semi Seat) 4th - Tubby1 (VLV Semi Seat) 5th - pod1 (VLV Semi Seat) 6th - F_Ivanovic (VLV Semi Seat) Thanks to all of you for taking part and let us know any feedback you had on the promotion to see if we can make it even better next time out. Cheers, Dave Posted by Sky_Dave
Dave, I think that it's great that we have a way to use up those stored up points. However, would SKY consider other such "events" throughout the year where we could again use up these points ? I have no great desire to enter the WSOP but would still appreciate an opportunity to benefit from the 36,000 points in my account. Just a thought.

Thanks for the feedback inka and jacko.
We'll take both of those on board of course. When choosing a day of the week to run the finals on there's always going to be someone who misses out sadly, but we do our best to choose a day that works.
As for feeding into other events, I think that's an idea we can investigate for future Points Fest tournaments.

Got in touch with customer care, they offered me ina seat in a £22 buy in tournament tomorrow's open. I said this was very unfair, as the prize for the 10 seater was 15000 points( a seat in the points fest final) 15000 poker opoints is worth £220 in cash for points. Surlely they shold have given me the 15000 poker points which I won in a 10seater sit and go.There was only one prize.This tournament was put on in error, but went ahead and should be paid out appropriately. They virtually said to me thats is all they are offering. Totally unfair!!!

Good luck all
As long as they dont make it a virtual tourny !
I think they could do a competition here, get people to select say 10 players each and give prize to whoever gets most in top 6

Nice try though
