I haven't played the Forum DTD yet as I always played the Monday Bounty Hunter. Since the Monday Bounty Hunter has gone to £33 it is far too fast a structure for the buy-in, so I am planning on playing the Forum DTD from now on. I think the idea of showing it on 865 is a great idea and I'm sure people would play it with the hope of getting on TV. I think the idea of a 'Name' playing in it and it being shown on 'Analyze My Play' on a Tuesday would be great. Brilliant ideas guys. Keep rolling them out and some will stick. Best wishes.

Call me cynical, and I hope I'm wrong, but could the Skypoker thread re the Team Captain Battle be a ploy to distract from the fact that there has been total silence from Sky on the DTD TV request?

I'm sure it has nothing to do with it and i'm also sure they have looked at this thread. Whether its doable is another matter.
If hands are going to be shown on TV then all of the DTD tournies would probably have to have a "TV Icon" to make players aware that their hands/play could be broadcast to the public.
Some players don't like their hands/play being televised and may not wish to enter the tournies at all, but they are entitled to their privacy I suppose. I am sure Sky would cover all the legal aspects in any case if it is do-able.
Personally I don't mind if they broadcast my hands all day long, but it would probably be best suited to the comedy channel
Think its a great idea DTD on on Monday is a great night and gets a good turnout every week . When i first started there were only 30/40 runners in the DTD and credit has to be given to the hard work and effort of DTW and Scouse in promoting this , they have built up a great event which has grown from a few runners 1 night a week to over 200 some nights .
It would be nice to hear from the folks at SKY with any thoughts .
I think it is a bit cynical Dagg, I'm sure it will be looked at, and Scotty has posted here and said he'll pass on the thoughts. I think it's win-win really for them especially if they don't give prizes and do it as I said on the section where they review the analysts play anyway.
Obviously they need to change them to tournies with a TV icon but I don't think this would adversely affect the number of runners at all, if anything quite the opposite. I (and many others) often would like to see their hands on TV but I am simply not rolled to be playing MEs so I have to resort to playing the odd bit of mastercash where really I'm only happy to sit at 10NL (cos I think you should always buyin for 200BB if the options there). So as long as they put the icon there, it is the responsibility of anyone who registers to see that and so Sky's job is done.
