Bigger Tourneys during lockdown.

Due to the bigger numbers recently can SKY consider putting on some bigger tourneys now UKOPS has finished?
A daily £100 BH or similar would be nice and I’m positive could make 10k every day while the lock down is still on.

The timescale should be changed to say 45mins from 30mins so that we get a more decisive result.
After 30mins there are still lots of people left in to share the spoils.
Makes it less attractive to me anyway.
Also, the 11pm £22 hypers also consistently smashed the guarantees, and I think would be a safe bet to continue running? Such a fun format, it's a shame they normally only run during ukops! Any possibility of a lockdown extension here also?
I'm guessing bumping the 9pm buyin up would be how Sky implements such a change. I wouldn't be against trying it while people are at home all day & able to play all the satellites. I'd certainly avoid it on a Sunday where you already have the £110 at 8pm though.
+1 to hypers if there's demand, but let's have 5% rake if we're going to do hyper MTTs please.
If you put a hyper with 10% rake on, a decent % of the field at that buyin are going to be regs who will realise there's no money to be had with 3 minute blinds and 10% rake. Field size drops, guarantee drops, field drops further, repeat until MTT has to be removed from the schedule. I suspect you'll get away with 10% rake during UKOPS as a one-off, but not as part of a regular schedule.
These comments have been passed Upstairs guys.
I actually think the best slot for the £110 would be 19:30. Agree that it wouldn't be necessary on Sundays.
Thanks @Tikay10 !
To be fair to Sky they have tried a extra £5.50 game it failed (low turn out). They also tried a higher buy in games £11 and £33 both failed.
@jonjo75 @cabbaz etc.
Keep an eye on the Lobby guys, James is having a tinker. I'll try to advise further as & when but expect something imminently.
@mushroom1 Sadly, they have repeatedly tried to rev up PLO & PLO8 but it's always ended badly, so I doubt that kite will fly. Shame really as it's genuinely the beautiful game.

Guys, as I mentioned earlier, James has been tinkering, so a few additions & changes.
1) There will be a new "Big Weekend Bounty Hunter" every Friday & Saturday @ 7.30pm. £110 entry, £10,000 guarantee with a single re-entry available.
2) Summit (the Tuesday £110er) has been modified to a single re-entry.
3) Sunday Major has been modified to single re-entry and the Guarantee increased to £20,000.
Think that means all of the Mains are now single re-entry, excluding of course stuff like Avenger Rebuy, so it all synchs a bit better now.
@mushroom1 there's been no change to the PLO or PLO8 stuff yet I'm afraid, but bitter experience from repeated attempts to offer more of The Beautiful Game have all ended in tears.
During UKOPS I think it got 100+ . Might be worth a go, say on a Saturday or Sunday, whilst the numbers have grown,to try a once a week PLO8 headliner £750 or £1000 £11er. If @Tikay10 played might even pull in some of the old plopper gang. Just a thought.
A £1k £11er sounds good.
I'd love to take the credit, but it's James who sorts these things. I just send him requests & messages. Lots of them.
I forgot to mention yesterday that the £22 Mega Stack BH (£2,000 guarantee) has returned at 8.45pm. It seems to be doing OK at the moment, it made a few bob shy of £3,000 last night.
I'l pass that up to Lord James to see what he says.
@zadoc
They are visible now mate. Good job you asked, they were there but set to "hidden".
Plenty of them now though, so all'd good.
GL if you dabble.
