Hi Guys, Can I clear up something about the APAT team freerolls. This was an idea from one of the Sky players, from a while back, and was taken up by another. It has never come from Sky themselves. They have given us a method of picking a team, apart from that they had NO part in choosing who plays in these games. The thread for this was up for enough time and was by general consensus, closed on a specific date. Following that date we were granted a place in the APAT team competition and everyone who had originally shown an interest were then contacted again to confirm their interest. NOTHING has been done underhanded and there are some excellent players, who, if I was picking a team would definitely be in it. There are freerolls that others can get into but I cant, that's life and i just get on with it.
I guess some of the private freerolls are for people who sign up via a 3rd party - so new customers. For example, say I had a website and I had a link 'Join Sky Poker here', then they might do a freeroll for those particular signups - a sort of 'Welcome freeroll'. That's my interpretation anyway.
I don't think it's anything we need to get stressed about

thank you sky rich for this communication,i see some posts have been removed,fair enough and i apologise for one of mine.ty again Posted by debdobs_67
You being naughty again lol. I seen these freerolls and looked into one of them. It was done in partnership with an online poker forum, and was used to attract members, it cost £5 with the other forum, you had to be new to sky, and the other forum payed a lump sum into the kitty. Im not saying this is the case here but i would suspect it is and would have something to do with a corporation (maybe a magazine) to promote sky poker and its affiliates.
Have you heard of `the nuts poker league`, its pub poker basically. They had a skin under the ipoker network but have recently shut down for whatever reason (the site not the live league).
Before they aquired their own site, when the league was still in its infancy, they played the league finals on a site called poker plex when it was under cryptologic (crypto has also folded btw).
The heading for this was something very similar, so maybe they are using sky to host this game, i dunno.
We are pleased to announce that sky poker have offered to stage £1,000 freerolls purely for Nuts Players who currently do not have a Sky account.
These will be held on Sky Poker on Sunday 29th November and Sunday 13th December 2009.

Hope this explains this ok

P.S Would'nt say either of the two posts deleted were bad and if you make the forum to sterile it could become quite boring.
"PC police gone mad" saying springs to mind.
That's my interpretation anyway.

Who's getting stressed???
