Timed tournaments buy-in

I think there should be more £2.20 & £3.30 tournaments offered during the evening

Options for these tournaments between 7.25 pm and 01.50 am are:

16 @ £5.50
3   @ £11
1   @ £22
1   @ £3.30

How are low stakes players being catered for with that selection?

*Edit* I am aware there are countless other games available for micro/low stakes players during the evening,this post is specifically about timed tourneys,which i think are a great idea.

    I agree.

    Some are worth keeping your eye on though.  Just watched a guaranteed £600 one, buy in £22 with only 10 runners 5 mins before it started. Not sure how many bought in but if it stayed like that it would have been interesting.

    The answer is they aren't Chris. I already posted this on the thread announcing the timed tourneys.I would love to play these but 3.30 a pop is beyond my bankroll. I have played the 2quid ones in the afternoon and done ok. But we need some evening action

    There is one £3.30 tourney at 9.55 pm.

    If you're only rolled for £2.20's the last one of them is at 4.40 pm!?!

    The buy-ins are evenly spread throughout the afternoon,just not getting why the low stakes ones are dropped for the evening?

    These are great, I play them all afternoon.

    Although they're officially mtt's they play like sngs, I could happily/easily multi table 4/5/6 of these...

    I think sky are trying to stagger the starting times so there's never more than 1 running at once?

    No reason why they cant start more often which will allow for a bigger range of buy ins.

    (if they do this a clock on the table wud b essential)

    Another anomaly is that the  £2.20 buy ins are only 15 minutes.
