As those who peruse the Tourney lobby have already seen, "Time Tournaments" debut on Sky Poker this evening.

Tonight is really a soft launch, a live trial, so the schedule, buy-ins, & duration, will almost certainly vary from that tomorrow, & going forward, based upon how tonight goes, & on user-experience & feedback. 

The Timed Tourneys are recognizable by the Clock Icon in the Tourney Lobby.

The Timed Tourneys will cease immediately that the scheduled time is up - unless you have already gone busto, of course.

Prize money? You will get the exact monetary value of your chips - your effective chip equity - at the moment the Tourney ceases.

Note that you should keep an eye on the Lobby as the Tournament progresses, as the monetary value of your stack is updated after EVERY HAND, & the Lobby will show this. 

The Lobby for the 6.25 Tourney, for example, as of 15 minutes ago, looked like this (only a few names included, for reference)......

88143000£3.00albaking3000£3.00alfarch303000£3.00ALNCAZ3000£3.00Alvez113000£3.00Ando3000£3.00

Those amounts will be updated continually, throughout the Tournament.

All constructive feedback & comments welcome.

    Note - to see the value of your stack, go to the Lobby and open "BLINDS & PRIZE STRUCTURE".

    Only your chips, but NOT your chip value, will be visible in "Tournament Overview".

    It was 6.25, Gregg (typo by me, now edited, apologies).

    The 6.25 one got 194 runners.

    194 runners..3.30 buy-in...200 guaranteed... That is sick. The prizepool is almost 3 times more than the guaranteed.

    This is what the Lobby looks like as the Tourney progresses. This is the Top Ten ONLY, as of minutes ago, obviously it is dynamic.

    Please Note - Timed Tournaments do NOT accrue League Points. This would get a little messy, with so many "in the cash".

    Players WILL, however, still earn poker points, based upon buy-in, which count towards C4P.

    Not tonight. They may have bigger buy-ins soon, but tonight is just the soft-launch.

    There are other sites?

    I'm not sure that the "other site" updates the Chip Equity value after every hand, though.....

    No, but I have a small (2x3) Excel spreadsheet open at the same time and it only takes 2 seconds to type my chip count into a cell for it to show the equity.
