    The tour looks UNBELIEVABLY good for next year, it's like it has advanced 3-4 years in 1 year, well played everyone involved!

    I love how it's so much bigger and better yet the introduction of the Bounty Hunter and the 6 max event really maintain the fun/Sky feeling from where it all started. I hope to attend as many of these as possible, can't wait!!

    WOW!!

    It just gets even better.  I've always enjoyed the SPT's before, but the different tourney types, 6 max, and BH just add another fun element, then topped off with a league, leaderboard, final play-off tourney, free entry to a years worth of SPTs and also to get onto Team Sky Poker.

    Mind blowing!!  Seems to good to be true, you would be stupid not to enter such a group of tourneys with all of that added value.

    VERY WELL DONE SKY - As Penguin7 says "AWESOME"

    Looks like an excellent season.

    Have they changed the dates for the Final in Nottingham, i'm sure they said on the show last night that it was in August.

    You're right Steve - the date should be Sept. There was a double booking which moved it back a touch I believe.

    Awesome 2011 - 2012 Schedule, I'll play every one* if I can.

    *not Glasgow, I'll be at Brighton so multitabling live in different countries would be a challenge.
