    Good to see what the payouts are before we start!!!.. Thanks for that..

     Bit worried about the steep jumps in blinds though :S... no 75/150 level or 150/300 etc etc but that looks to be counterd slightly by the removal of ante's?
     Is that correct?

    It's a structure that has to deal with a tournament that has to be over in one day, with 150 runners. The "filler" levels as I describe them do make for more play, but unless you want a final at 2-4am they are not possible to fit in

    Did last year's SUKPT (as was) have ante's in?

    yes im not sure exactly what levels they started at though.... think it may of been around 400 with a 25 ante...

     Hey Ho im not going to argue with you about running trnys, you have probably run more than I have had hot dinners. Just dont remember the jumps as big last yr but did have ante's was wondering if it was a conscious change or not.

    I think it's the same or similar, to last year.

    I confess I may be the culprit if it's wrong. I designed the Structure for the SPUKT last year, it worked well, so we decided to use it again this year.

    So SPT Rich asked me to find it - but I was unable to. Last year, I Blogged it, e-Mailed it, sent it to all the Cardrooms,  but now I can't trace it anywhere.

    SPT Rich kept chasing me for it - quite correctly - but I eventullly fessed up & told him I could not find it. So he designed it, sent it to me, I said it looked about right, & he went with it.

    So, blame me if it's wrong. We would review it after Leg One if it was too fast, or slow, of course, but the Sky Poker Players seem quite comfy most structures.

     Well this year is a whole new tour obviously, new name, new (well added) people running it, different buyin etc etc.. so we cant say anything is "wrong". Last years format worked very well, and im sure this years will also. The only reason i commented is a saw by the time we come back from the 1st break the blinds will be 600 (i think) so if you havent made any chips by then you ar all in or fold. Then I noticed there were no ante's so presumed there was a switch around. It may just be as the structure wasn't on show (because we didnt have this great forum)  it is the same and I just didnt notice last year. I do know it did have ante's (personally I prefer no ante's anyway) on a 10 seated table means I can be more of a rock that usual :D

     P.S less than 2 weeks to go!!!

    Thanks for the details.  Not being a regular live player, can you tell me how many hands you would expect at each level?  Thanks.

    Good Spot Glum!

    I searched for an age for that Blog, as I knew I'd detailed the Structure, but I could not find it. Bravo you. Permission to give Alan a hug & a kiss is granted.

    It's SPT Rich's call this year, so he'll take a look at it &, well, it's up to him. 

    Thank you for that.

    WOW, can i just say i have an excellent memory :-) smack on 400 as BB the ante's started at 25... Take a bow son take a bow.

    Well a new year a new tour, we can either copy last yrs structure or try a new one. This is only leg 1, if it doesnt work we can always change it. Or play it safe and stick to what we know...

    Last years look a bit nicer in terms of allowing more of a chance to accumulate chips before the steepness sets in, I guess then antes then hurry proceedings along a little.

    It's going to be great fun either way though.

    Thanks for finding that

    I'll adjust last year's slightly as we have a bigger field playing and we'll revert to that sort of structure

    Excellent stuff Rich. Thanks for listening to everyone, another player mesasged me about his concern over the structure echoing what I said about less than 10 blinds after only 2 hours (I wont name his because he hasn't commented on here). I said after you went to revise the structure I imagine it will be the same as last yr with 1 level missing. :-)

     Really looking forward to it, can't wait :-)

    Don't like to be pedantic (much).... but

    1.  You have only allocated 30 minutes for the 45 minute buffet break (could cause indegestion)
    2.  The 2000/4000 level only has 15 mins
