..well, kind of...

ok guys, time for another great competition courtesy of the fantastic little community we have here at Sky Poker.

what you have to do?

(on this thread) post your suggestions for the sky poker site, we will then be awarding prizes for the top 3 ideas!

We will also award spot prizes for funny suggestions that we'd like to do but are probably not able to (an attempt to inject some humour in this... Flutnush, where are you?)

having said that please make the ideas feasible... we don't really want anything like "give us a £100000 freeroll"


How long do you have?

we will keep this thread open for 3 weeks (Friday the 2nd October) - prizes will be awarded the following Monday.


Prizes!?

we will award prizes for the top 3 ideas (and do our best to make them happen)

1st - £50

2nd - £20

3rd - £10

spot prizes (tbc)



only suggestions on this thread will be entered to please shout up on here if you've already had a great idea and posted it somewhere else.


any questions just give me a shout.

good luck and happy posting!

    ability to make the tables smaller, length width and horizontally, would be able to play more games at the same time then.
    also shootout tournaments. with a minimum of 30 players having to enter to start the game, on tables of 10 (3 players on each table if minimum is reached) then the winner of each table plays on the final table where the money is depending on numbers

    how about a £1-50 bounty hunter satellite for the £15000 semi that starts around 18:00 so that those of us who work during the day still have a shot at getting in cheap seems unfair all the cheaper stellites are on during the day.

    Just a thought - in fact why not check that all the satellites are spread evenly across the day.

    Would be nice to have a feature to set up private tournaments so you could play a table with your mates etc. Quite a few other sites offer this so would be nice to see at Sky.

    Spend a day or an afternoon with a poker pro in order to teach you.

    You could run a competition or give away as part of the prize for winning the Open.

    Eg My cash game needs work, Nick Wealthal or Trevor Harris could check out my Poker Office history and show where to improve.

    One on one advice would really help my game and i'm sure it would be a popular prize. You could film it, or not? Pro could visit players house or player comes to the studio?

    how about a handicap tourney.
    £1 entry handicap based on past performance, starting chips 2000 handicapped down in increments of 10 to a min 500, blinds three mins.
    Should be a laugh

    hi Rich
    Earlier this year there was a thread on ideas for the Club and i put forward a challenge, Sky players v Sky personnel.
    Now i want to expand that idea.
    How about a one of event, Sky players v Sky presenters v Sky analysts v Sky backroom v friends of sky.
    You have the likes TK, ED, MATT, TREVOR, for the analysts team.
    RICHARD, MICHELLE, DP, SEAN for the presenters.
    YOU, BLANDO,ANDY, LING for the backroom team.
    LIV, JAMES BROWNING, JOHN Tabbatabi,etc for the friends team.
    and 4 of us(me being one of them obviously).
    played on 2, 10 seater tables, with points for finishing positions(1 to 20), for a trophy and bragging rights.
    5000 chips, 30 min clock.
    Live would be better, as it could be filmed and shown as a special(poss xmas time).
    The teams would be open to change but they must fullfill the teams criteria. ie TK cant play for any other team than tha analysts, you can only play for the backroom team, you get the drift.
    What do you think m8

    hi Rich
    What about a programme following a player through a tournament, not necessarily the winner, but showing some bad play as well.
    I have plenty of material for this, lol

    Oooh, now I am liking this idea a lot, especially the point scoring system. I am also amazed I got a mention. Have you seen me play poker? Shocking, I tell you...

    Hi Rich,

    Idea 1.

    I was thinking a Sky Community Newsletter. Members of the Community could submit articles, either for pre-set topics/areas within the newsletter or random ones. We could have presenters/analysts also being the guest editors each month. The guest editor would then select the best articles to put into the newsletter and the Community via the forum can come up with suggestions for new topics etc within the newsletter. There could be jokes corner, pictures, prizes, coverage of tournaments etc etc

    The newsletter would then be mailed out to our emails (could subscribe out of etc) and I really think this would be a great addition to the Community.

    Another way would be to have a general Sky poker newsletter used by Sky for promotional reasons (much like the emails we get now) and within that would be the link/file to the Community Newsletter.

    Idea 2

    Sky Merchandise Tournaments - These could be either freeroll style or pay to enter ones. You will win for the top placings a range of merchandise. Details would be sorted by sky, but something like a poker set/hoodie for 1st down to mousepads/pens for say the last places.


    Anyway that's my attempt!

    Oh and a spot prize go: When you final table in any tournament, the graphics should change to that of a final table background. Other sites do this and when I have final tabled it is cool!

    Thanks Rich,

    Dave
