The problem is this....i think ive personally posted this twice already, and numerous others have aswell....
every now and again sky launch a new tournament, which meets the GTD for a few weeks/months mayb, then fewer ppl play it, GTD lowers, until its scrapped....re branded/chewed up and regurgitated into some other similar tourney
the ONLY way for tourneys to consistently meet the GTD and GROW MTT's is to have LATE REG
now everytime this is posted on 'community suggestions' a few ppl agree, then some1 (acesover8's if i remember) pipes up saying he dont want late reg's because cos he wants to know how many ppl are playing from the get-go and likes the overlay in some tournies....
u can have Late Reg for 1 hour for the ME's and 30 min for Side events, and mebbe just 10-15 mins for the average GTD's
In Response to Re: Time for sky to shake up the MTT schedule - Introduce bigger GTD tournies earlier in the evening? : It,s not being defeatest m8 its just my humble opinion,ive seen £22 deepstacks with £500 gtd,s starting at 7.30 getting good runners then getting less and less and less untill they reduced the gtd down to £200 untill there was,nt enough runners to cover that gtd so now they just have a 22 deepie thats cancelled all the time. don,t get me wrong the more tourneys with decent gtd,s at the times you state would be better(imho)for the site but i don,t think theres enough people with the bank rolls for sky to take that risk,hope im wrong Posted by stokefc
Personally ive only been a sky reg player for a year now after playing predominantly for fun on party. In that time I havent seen these described MTTs.
One thing I would say in response is that Sky Poker attracts a lot more players throughout the day than it did even 1 year ago. As we speak there are 500 players logged on (a year ago youd be lucky to see 200), in the evenings its not uncommon to see 3-4k players at peak times.
Therefore, one can assume as there is clearly more demand for the sky poker product and a lot more potential demand, that it would only make sense to revamp/bring in earlier tournies with bigger guarantees.
Doublestack, BH and Open, 1 of each every night. 7pm - 2k gtd. 8pm - stays the same 9pm - 2k gtd. Market it well, copy the "early chance" and "late chance" like on other sites, or come up with summat new, w/e..... -------------------------------- Keep the 8pm as it is now, same tourny, buy in and structure. So the main event will still rotate between the three diff tournys. either side, will be the 2 main event alternatives. For example . . . . . Monday night would have a doublestack (NOT deepstack) @ 7, BH @ 8 and an open @ 9 Tuesday - 7pm - Doublestack, 8pm - Open Main, 9pm - BH Wed - 7pm - BH , 8pm - Doublestack main. 9 - Open Thurs - 7pm Doublestack, 8pm - BH main, 9 - Open Fri - 7pm Doublestack, 8pm -RB open main, 9 - BH Sat - 7pm - Doublestack, 8pm - RB BH main 9 - Open Sun - 7pm - Doublestack, 8pm - Primo main, 9 - BH. --------------------------------------- Scrap the TSP classic (or rename the 7pm the TSP classic) Run the Thews @ 10 every night (which is basically a new name/replacement for the 1k gtd velocity) Merge the 2 velocities that are currently available atm also, and have a 750 gtd velocity @ 8-45 or something.
