Team Sky Poker Qualification, any questions?

edited March 2011 in Poker Chat

We are now just a week away from the end of the January - March qualification period for Team Sky Poker. Three new names will be added to the Team once that process has reached it's conclusion.

When we reached this stage of the October - December qualifying period, & into the weeks which followed, & particularly the "Play Offs", many players seemed to be confused by the qualification process.

This was  bit disappointing, from every side of the fence.

The info had been up on the Site since the very start, & players only had to press a tab to view it, & then ask any questions.

Equally, I think Sky Poker must share some of the blame. It became clear - belatedly - that many players did not understand the rules & criteria, so some blame sits there, too.

Never mind who was or was not to blame, I think we need to get it out there clearer, better, & earlier, this time.

So, if you have any questions about the current qualification for Team Sky Poker, stick them on this Thread, please.

I'll be Posting a few Links & rules excerpts shortly, too.

    So, if I read it right, the Qualifying Tourneys will be on Sunday 10th April. I think......

    Are we all agreed on that?

    Nope, that's the job of the Kit Man, aka the Team Manager.

    Not a question about qualification, but will the team keep growing over the next few years?

    Or will you drop some players?

    If so how would you go about doing so?

    Least rake earnt?

    Will there be further 'guests' invited into the TSP like WPTJon in the future?.

    This is NOT a critiscm btw as I hope more players getting the Sky Poker name involved in the live scene, the better. 

    Is Mr. Orford going to play for the team soon?...Walsall possibly?

    Other "Guest" Players? Nothing has been decided, but yes, every possibility that some Guests will be introduced from time to time. Jon did superbly at The Vic, so who knows, he may even get considered again, too. Nothing has been decided.

    Mr Orford is indeed scheduled to make his TSP-GUKPT appearance at Walsall in April. A large Rail is expected at Walsall for that. Orford Railers are not advised to book an overnight Room in readiness for Day Two, though.

    Just a thought...

    When the final 30 in each category are known I presume they are sent an email to confirm their place?
    Would it be wise to not only send the links to the rules etc but also to break key things down into bullet point format - thus explaining in simplistic terms the package they win, what is expected from them da de da etc!! 

    Also, a text reminder to with the link to the rules in it etc. 

    Personally I have read the rules back in October but have forgotten by now what is involved etc and tbh I cba to look again because I get the jist of it, so if I were to have made it then a gentle reminder of a few key points would be greatful to freshen the mind. 

    Just a thought as I say and I know everyone is different, just my tupence worth.

    This is what we really need to understand.......

    No point grinding away getting SPT and THEN finding out you have no chance staying in after 3 months.

    Depends on how much you rake I suppose - it isn't possible to still play as part of TSP if you don't get enough C4P for Sky to match and put you into live tournaments therefore 3 months will be the maximum stay for some players, possibly. 

    As long as you are contributing to the team i.e. doing live shows, interviews etc and you are seen as providing a positive image for sky then I suppose it's hard for them to drop players, especially if they are binking as well!! I think the onus is on the TSP members to show their worth and imo I can't see them dropping people after 3 months cos I reckon they want to give players who rake enough the opportunity to be a TSP representative for as long as possible.

    lol. No, though some of the STT qualifiers would probably be quite happy if it were.
