Personally i find playing in tournament with +500 runners a pain. Do i understand that the prize pool is being enlarged or does it keep the same guarantee. Yes i know the BH will have more bounties to win but that is for people at the sharp end. The 8.05 BH that is usually £500 for instance. Now there are +500 entries on occasion will the prize pool be enlarged eg top 50 paid and not top 40 as an example depending on the number of entries. Could the bubble position be changed in proportion to the number in the field once the guarantee is covered and there is more money in the pot? That seems fair.
If there isn't some advantage to players who play one or two max T's then i'm afraid Sky will lose these players as they aren't very appealing when the 'summit' is clouded in mist, as it were.
PS Any news on the resizing of frames as i like to play the DTD and chat too. With three frames on the screen i still have to click between frames.
Other sites vary the length of late reg but the MTTs are pretty much put in big groups. The site I'm thinking of has: 1) Standard 1 hour late reg for most MTTs 2) Two hours late reg for low to mid stake special or big ones 3) Three hours late reg for their 'major' events As far as Sky goes I'd like to see a similar structure with most MTTs having a one hour late reg period and big events (Rollers, UKOPS) having a two hour period. However I fully accept the likelihood of finding the structure to please every player is exceptionally small. Posted by TommyD
The sites have comlpetely different traffic levels I think copy the other site would be disastrous.
15 mins late reg on most comps, 30 min late reg on the 8pm main tourny and bigger comps imo should work fine.

Fair comment, probably right timings as well for this site.

'they' probably get more people late reg for most comps than sky get runners in general hence why I don't think it will would work.
3 hours of late reg on a primo and it could be over!!!

haha, never was suggesting 3 hours late reg for the Primo, that would be insane. The 2 hours I had suggested were meant to be for special events (UKOPS and SuperRollers etc) but I admit this seems excessive now for this site.
