1 in 10 is just daft with 250 seats to fill.. plus it's spoiling peoples enjoyment of the qualification process.. Vegas is fine for 1 in 10 but the SPT final?? really???
Please can this be looked at?

1 in 5 structure please.
Trying to run a tournament where the only means of qualifying is to win a 1 in 10 satellite is ridiculous.. Direct buy in or 1 in 5 is essential.
I'll put the sats suggestion to the management and see what they say.
3 tier 1 in 5's does look much better:
level 1 £2.88
level 2 £14.40
level 3 £72.00
Sky would not lose out on money doing it this way,l seems sensible to me.
There are currently 60 people registered... assuming you get 2 seats every single night (which isn't happening) that's an extra 84 runners which takes it up to 144 runners for a 250 runner event...
Say you take that up to 160 runners to take into account various celeb invites etc that Sky give, that still falls 90 runners short of the cap which is obviously pretty terrible.
You can draw 2 conclusions from this... 1) Direct buy-ins WILL happen... 2) A better satellite structure is needed.
