If you go to the blog section under community and look for the official skypoker blog, look for the SPT announced blog and it tells you all the info there... But for the questions mentioned...

top three in each leg get a seat in the final
No, you don't have to play any of the legs to have a chance to play in the final, for which there will be many chances to satellite in nearer the time

We agreed the Payout Structure a few days ago, & SPT-Rich will confirm it, but I think we decided it would be top 15 paid this year - 10% of the Field.
Why the big drop from 10 qualifying through each leg down to 3? Can I assume commercial reasons? Sorry if covered elsewhere. Posted by Pears_27
Sort of, yes.
The spend on the SPT (SPUKT as was) has actually increased this year over last year, but the money is being spent in different ways. You'd be amazed at how much it costs to run this Tour, & it all has to come out of the Marketing Budget. In addition, Freerolls, Tournament Guarantees on the Site, ongoing & numerous Promotions, PTP, etc, all come out of the same Budget. Everyone vies for lumps of that budget!

I always agree with the 10% rule, so fair enough.
Am I right to say that in the UK it is the 'norm' for steepish pay structures c.f. to the USA's flat structures.
Yes it is the norm, but I alongside tikay and others you know are leading the charge to flatten out these in the events we organise and influence The SPT payout structure will be flatter than the normal payouts in regular UK live comps Posted by SPT
Well we can't say fairer than that! We all appreciate that you are looking after the regular poker players interests.

Lee,
From TK's Blog:
"For legs 1 to 5, 125 seats will be released for Satellite qualification. 5 Seats will go to the Venue for a Live Super Satellite. A further 20 seats will be set aside for Presenters, Media, Pro players, etc. Should there be any "spare" seats, these will possibly be released via "last-chance" Super Satellites on Sky Poker.com."

Hi Lee, I think those other 25 seats are freebies, therefore bringing nowt to the prize pool. That maybe why it's more expensive and less payouts. You never know m8.
