edited April 2011 in Poker Chat

The existing TSP Qualifying "Quarter" ends at Midnight tonight, & it will conclude all as previously announced, & in accordance with the Rules, & those successful will enjoy the rights & benefits as previous.

The qualifying criteria for the period 1st April - 30th June (& thus, those who will be in TSP for the July - September quarter) will CHANGE, however.

I'm short of time right now, (Show rehearsal is in 1 minute), & so I will Post the details ovenight, or try to.

Those details WILL, however, be announced on tonight's Live TV Show.

As always, I'll field any & all questions as & when.

Please note I may be Offline a good part of Friday. Things to do......

     It's a free tourny, i'm sure most people are wanting to play in it to gain entry to TSP.

    They haven't changed any rules midstream. Not sure what your gripe is - you sign up and it does what it says on the tin. Nobody has spent a penny in the April to June quarter yet anyway

    Am I right in thinking they are offering 6 places to TSP instead of 6?

    If so, stfu! lol ????

    I definitely think that you should be able to sell/transfer your TSP membership though.

    It makes no difference to sky, and it makes it more appealling to more ppl! (like meeeeeeeee)

    I reckon by doing it this way if you don't want to get onto TSP then you would just not play in the final.

    Before some may have been tempted to play just to win some money.

    So why not go for a place on TSP who will then pay your entry fees to some very nice live tournaments ?

    Im sure there are players within the final who don't win seats, who will happily pay money for the seat/position.

    By allowing the seat to be sold, it makes the whole thing more appealling to everyone.

    I'm sure sky would prefer a 200nl cash player grinding his a/rse off to rake as much as poss than a £10 dym player or a 30nl cash player (no offence chillie, im in the same boat)

    It just makes so much sense - As long as the the player who buys the position qualified for the final, and isn't an outsider.

    Cheers JC!

    I liked how it was before.  I like this.  I'm easily pleased.  Now we get to see some answers to the cash players v MTT v STT argument that seems to boom on to bore me at the end of the quarter.

    Good luck everyone.

    Don,t know all the inns and outs of it , but I would like to see a chance somewhere for low stakes players to prove themselves in MTT,s in some way -
     
    Maybe a results table for entries for TSP classic (mere novices for example) or other similar game with decent structure or even better start a new MTT league for the purpose of being in TSP .

    Would be very popular and bring in extra money for Sky - Basically an offordable tournament for the best tournament players imo anyway

    at least 2 TSP seats and the rest who get the points through putting hours grinding on med/high stakes cash or DYM,s - theyd play the qualifying tournies as well if they really want a place

    It should be about getting the best players for the events for the team to promote Sky

    Regular low stake MTT players who play a large volume of tournies have a great chance of qualifying for this 90 man TSP MTT.

    Low stakes players have as much chance of making the qualifier as the high rollers as long as they put in the volume.  It's in the cash league where the difference is the most stark but still possible if you are putting in as many hours as the top ten league players.

    For the STT and MTT leagues, the stakes are far less important compared to the volume.

    the league points system is very fair to lower stakes players.  its all about putting the volume in.   if you do that then you have a very decent chance of a top 30 place
