Im sorry but.....(mini & main freeroll)

I am sorry about this post but i must have to say after being entered into the the £50 mini freeroll again that it is such a waste of time and pointless. Who ever come up with this idea either needs custard poured over his or her head or re think what was the point in coming up with this idea (no offence intended). I did cash again in it but i had again 5 people away from my table and didnt really wanna play in it. It just popped up on my screen and only played it cos i was bored. I did cash 75p for coming 17th in it and top prize was for £5! really for players that pay to go into mtts and this is classed as a reward im not sure that you have thought it through to be honest. I know free money and free games are great but seriously! make it worth our while and let us chose to go in it then ill think its worth my time and effort.

I dont find being put in a game for 2 hours or more to play by my self is an incentive to stay on sky so ask your self if people dont play in it why do it!. If you used all that prize money and did it at the end of the week it would be so much more apealing and would fill up with players with a bigger prize pool. All It does is clutter up my screen dosnt give me any incentive to beat a couple of hundred players for £5 quid top prize and is just plain annoying. Im all for freerolls and giving something back to loyal customers but this really dosnt do the job and is quite laughable really. I dont want to be automaticly registered if i dont plan on playing and the fact that i have to de register every night if i play the main and mini the night before is just plain daft. Every player that i met at the end agreed with me about this and only reason they stuck with it was because they have an addictive personality like me and cant bear to press the sit out button. It takes up memory anyways on most peoples laptops if you play more than three tables so an extra one you dont wanna play in effects other games you have payed for.

This is my view i will not faulter and i have to air it sorry. This idea needs a rethink!

    stopping sitting on the fence man and say what you mean

    not played it myself but would agree 100%,

    adding a prize for making the final table of both main & mini would probably mean more to the reg m/m players than this freeroll.

    I would de register rather than gripe about it but sometimes you forget your even in it till the tables pop up. But the problem isnt so much its there or ive been put in it, its the fact that no one plays in it until it gets to the last few, your actiion time is less on other tables because you constantly have action on you in the freeroll every 2 or 3 seconds which cuts down desision time on other tables ive put money in. and if i dont de reg it causes a nusence until that point. So would rather it just be my option and not one made for me.

    It prob seemed like a good idea at the time but i have to say about it because too me its not working as it stands with auto reg.

    yeh personally havn't played the freeroll but i would say it sounds pointless.
     
    i would say that they should just make it an allin tourneyment one like the euro but i'm guessing this must crashed the sky system or sumthing, but it would stop the time problem.

    they should add up all the mini prize money over the week and the main over the week to be played on a sunday so 7 times £50 = £50 gtd prize pool and  7 times £200 = £1400 gtd prize pool so all the people that have entered 1 mini and main during the week get 2 qualify be loads of players but bigger prize pool :)

    yea +1 to this and entering yourself, not auto, on a Sunday or Monday, (the mini FR would be £350gtd)
