    sounds like a great event.  nice one Sky. if one person gets to the final with a double stack, what happens to the money for 6th place?

    Will you please stop asking good questions please Ryan?!

    Err, umm....I don't actually know!

    I suppose (I'm just whistling in the dark here....) the money then gets chopped 5 ways, instead of 6, so the payout proportions would be suitably amended.

    At present, the Prize Pool in the Grand Final is chopped up like this.....,.

    1st - 40%

    2nd - 24%

    3rd - 16%

    4th 10%

    5th 6%

    6th - 4%

    So they'd just re-balance those I guess.

    I don't actually know, so I'll ask, & get back to you.

    Now, please stop asking sensible questions, OK?

    It'd be good if the "Survivors" each night Posted their stories & chirps on this Thread after each Leg, & the thread could become, err, epic, or even sick.....

    Veeeery interesting...will be signing up for most/all of them I reckon!

    Week 1 strategy: switch off the computer and go and sit in the garden. I reckon that will be the one assured way to make it through to week 2 :)

    The chopping it 5 ways ofc is the most sensible TK.

    Just thought I'd mention it, as in case it did happen then people might moan about whatever decision Sky chose.

    :)

    btw Luton Friday?

    or ofc the guy who gets the double stack automatically gets 6th place money/tournie entry too?

    If a serial luckbox, *cough* Phil12/solly/greg *cough* wins all 6....or more than one, will the final be very lob sided?

    If this is a success, which I do think it will be, any plans for TEAM Survivor comps in the future?

    Are all TSP members being given free entry into these as part of their tourney packages??

    In weeks 1 & 2, you never know, that might just work.

    Then again.......

    I'll get a Ruling from Upstairs as to what would happen, might not be today, but we have about 7 weeks before it becomes a problem, so not a panic thing yet.

    Luton tomorrow? That's the plan, assuming I can recover from my current malaise, it's 50/50 at the mo though, I'm still feeling pretty poorly. Fingers crossed.

    Should be a fun night at Luton tomorrow, there's gonna be some organised serial mock-bocking of Dean Morris, a pseudo Live Update next door, some anti-railing commentary, that sort of stuff, & all that in a £100 Tourney - will be, umm, epic.  

    Penguin7 told me he'd probably to be there, maybe Supernova too, Chompy, Claw75, da de da.

    Yes, you can ONLY Register for the 6 Survivor Nights in WEEK ONE.

    After that, it's too late, you can only watch & Rail.

    Q1. In theory, yes. But the chance of that happening will be "pretty slim" I think, some serious +ve would be needed. I reckon someone might manage a "double" though.

    Q2. Very possibly, & deffo there is some more "Team" Stuff lined up. The problem (problem?) is that they have a backlog of stuff like this all queued up waiting for suitable "slots", & there is lots more to come, but it's important not to flood the site with new stuff in big ploppy dobs, better just to drip-feed it in. "Team Survivor", or a variant, is very much in the thinking. The idea, as with so much of this stuff, is to launch this one, see what glitches & problems are encountered, whats good & bad about it, then build all that  into Mark 2.

    Q3. Nope, not that I'm aware. If the TSP-ers want to play these - & they'd be very welcome of course - they will have to stump up a whole quid per series, like everyone else.

    Sounds like an excellent idea.

    When will the games be appearing in the lobby, and will there be a 2000 limit for the number of entrants? which I think is the standard for most MTT's on Sky

    If so possible 12,000 runners = £12,000 prize pool £3,215?That would mean 74% rake.

    The games SHOULD (fingers xx'd!) appear in the Lobby starting this afternoon, with the very first "Series" due to start tomorrow, Friday.

    Don't know about a "cap", but the projected numbers will be well south of that I think. Hard to put a number on it, but at a quid a go, & no reg fee, 500, 600, 700 ought to be possible for each Series? I'll be "working it" on FB & Twitter, too, & on tonight's Show. I would be extremely surprised if it even got near to half of the standard 2,000 cap. Pleasantly surprised, but surprised.

    You start with a new, clean, even stack in each Leg. The only exception would be if you qualified for the Grand Final TWICE, then you'd get a double starting stack. And everyone would call you a Billy the Bully.
