ok after the your tournament , your suggestion thread the ideas have been looked at and a shortlist drawn up.

Most of them are ‘as suggested’, but a couple of them were given small tweaks around start times or GTDs. We are looking for the top 5 from the poll to go into the schedule – Sky will decide which nights for each of them so it doesn’t clash with other events.

This vote will remain open until Midnight on Sunday 02/12/2012 and hopefully the winning tourneys will be added to the schedule from Monday 03/12/2012

    Just to add to Chris's poll, Final Table Only is the suggestion that all of the prizepool is paid out to your last six players. :)

    Some cracking ideas in that thread by the way - we had trouble narrowing it down, trust me. There's also a little bit of news around one of the other suggestions too, pending a little bit of housekeeping at our end :)

    The tourney I asked for is tourney 4 and FWIW I think the GTD will make at least 3 times that if not more!

    I like the Velo but why has it been changed to a 1.5k starting stack??

    I was also tempted by number 10 cos I love tournies with top heavy payouts, makes it much more worthwhile cashing rather than havign to come top 2 to get anything decent but why such a tiny starting stack??

    I went for 9 in the end.

    Isn't option 3 simply the would-be "mini-roller" that Sky has yet to run on Super-Roller evenings?

    Instead of having this tournament, so far the mini on offer has been either the unaltered mini-primo or a mini-bounty hunter.

    There are a couple of notes to add to the above.

    Firstly - guarantees. Some of those suggested weren't quite realistic, so we lowered them. However, if you consistently hit the guarantee, we will always consider moving them up. On the flip side, if they undersubscribe constanttly, the guarantees will be lowered. I suspect some of these will move up in the not too distant future though if the Community gets behind them ;)

    Great to see that sizeable turbo in on the Sunday night, really hope it works! Great night to put it on, and good time slot.

    I see tonights comp is also a turbo but has no 500/1k level, which I'm not gonna moan about. Altho I spose that was a moan. moan. moan. etc.

    Plz let Sundays big turbo have that level! plzzzzzzzzzzzzz :)
