Cash in 8 consecutive MTTs (possibly 10), Any level, any format (NLH, PLO or PLO8). Decided by finishing times so can be tracked on Sharkscope. Would take quite a while to do I reckon.
Are we allowed to post on our own thread? Oh well, here goes... How about the first person to finish in the top 20 places of each 8pm main event? i.e. one for each day of the week. There could be a main and mini version too. Posted by Sky_Poker
Bad idea for these reasons;
1. Anybody who doesn't play on one or more evening per week due to other hobbies/work/out of consideration to family etc. is excluded.
2. ME/Mini players already have the Jackpot to play for
3. It wouldn't attract any extra players into the fields or generate any extra rake, in all likelihood the winner will come from a small band of daily ME regulars. A HU or similar event would get loads of extra games running and everybody can join in.
As they are still there Monday to Friday how about running a competition using the old "Take on Tikay" games at 8.30 every night. If memory serves me right they are all £2 or £3 buy ins and for people who can't play every night make it the best 3 scores of the week. Alternatively maybe Sky could add a Saturday/Sunday ToT and make it the best 4 of 7.

Fair comments.... maybe stagger it so it's the same Bounty Hunter each week over the course of a month? I know it still attracts predominantly regs, but could still be interesting?

Hypers are relatively new to the site, I bet some players don't even know they are there.
They've been v successful (I assume, from how many seem to run when I look) but the player pool is quite small still.
Get some new blood playing them!
They are vvvv addictive to new players, loads will become hooked! They just need to try them.....
They must generate you guys a fortune in rake too. No brainer for yaz!
how about a climb the ladder competion over one week.
the ladder as 100 rungs.
make the first game a mtt of lets say 3.30 the top 100 go though to night 2.
game 2 the ladder becomes 75 rungs. game 3 50 rungs. game 4 25 rungs.
game 5 as a twist anyone can buy in for 20 quid but must finish in the top six to play the final, for the rest of the field they have to finish in the top 15.
A omaha survivor would be very good as most people like omaha and would also be a good chance for new people to learn without breaking their bankrolls. Not seen this anywhere else and that if sky are prepared to advertise this then it may well be successful.
HYPERCHARGED HU challenge would be good....how many consecutive ones you can win in a row over a set perod of time, regardless of buy-in, so that players of all bankrolls can paprticpate?
It would no doubt generate a large rake for Sky so perhaps they could provide the winner of the challenge the £33 BH seat but offer mini bounty hunter seats to anyone who managed to reach double figures? I seem to remember similar challenges organised by IrishRover and there weren't that many who reached the magic 10?
It could be easily tracked by Sky and there would probably be someone good enough to create a league table so everyone can see how well/badly they are doing compared to everyone else!
The difficulty about suggestions which require people to play every night is that it would exclude a lot of people who simply havent got the time to or availability to do that.
What about satellite navigation that always sends you in the right direction? qualify from micro to main events £12k BH, Primo, & VLV sunday semi in consecutive tourneys to take down the prize The more that take part the more places available!
How about running a few challenges that encompass different bankrolls that cover all forms of the game. Much better than just one challenge covering dyms or something

I think the most brain melting thing is doing a bunch of MTTs with different rules/playing styles at the same time.
On a wednesday we could do...
18.50 £250 bountyhunter (£2.30)
19.00 £100 freeroll (50pts)
19.05 £200 30min Timed (£3.30)
19.10 PL Omaha (£3.30)
19.15 £150 deepstack (£2.20)
Highest cash total wins the challenge
4xhypercharged
4xturbocharged
4xstandard
in order 12 total

ok my idea proberly stupid but here it goes
how about a week of tournys you carnt buy into
the only way in is by sat
so loads of cheap sats to suit all bank rolls
you could run any tourny on the end of these sats
just away off involving the whole site and allowing all bankrolls to play a level field as no direct buy in
