Is there any chance we can get a new tourney put in the 5pm slot? anything from £11+ would do, gt doesnt need to be big either. We currently have an 11bh or 22bh at 2, 3, 4, 6pm

    Could the 5r at 5pm get some love? It's pretty withered. Considering how popular rebuys like Avenger main and mini, and Reload are, I don't know why this gets so few runners. Can't 100% be down to not being bounty hunter??

    Think a lot of people cba to register it because only £200 guaranteed. Think it needs either a bigger guarantee and see if it succeeds (probably too risky for Sky to try) or change it tbh.

    I think a 22 rebuy BH would be a good addition - not just for this slot but in general when there aren't any £500+GTD tournies.  The regs would keep rebuying to hit the GTD.

    I think I'll put the £200 rebuy out of it's misery. In its place will be a £11 rebuy b/hunter. Start with £500 gtd see how it goes. Every night at 5pm from tomorrow.

    10r B/H is a fantastic change. The schedule is looking sweet from 5 till pretty much midnight now.

    Fantastic addition. Now I've just got to start playing two hours earlier.

    Some people work so am worried about numbers during the week. Please can we give the MTT a decent chance, even if some short term overlay. It takes a while for people to see new games in the lobby. Also, it might be some games only work well during weekend schedules so be good to think about weekday schedules and weekday ones.

    Will add this one in today.  Thanks James.

    Matt makes a good point.  On Sunday in particular there is a space to be filled from 5pm for a couple of bigger tournies.

    Could we try a nightly 7pm BH - £55 with 1 rebuy with a £1kGTD?  Me, Matt and Andy are good for 6 entries between us so only another 14 to find from the rest of the Sky player pool.

    I'm not totally against the idea but probably a bit too risky in summer. If it starts with 6 or fewer runners you can just shove for the value.

    the rebuy aspect kind of elimates this.  if they do flip for it then 1 will rebuy to then go for it again.

    in a small pool site like Sky where you can guess the first 6 players to enter think this is unlikely to happen

    i get that you had issues on the sats but a) sats are boring b) most are turbos so skil not a factor and c) more likely to get the odd random going for a punt

    I think the player pool will self police here.  The 500rebuy started today with 5 runners and there was no jamming or talk or it, which does happen in every sat that starts with sub 6 runners (rarely happens)

    Another reason why sat flips happen is that a number of the runners are already going to play the event and will take the EV of just flipping if its there.  A reg is a lot less likely to do that in a normal MTT as we would prefer having the tournies to actually play on a daily basis.  Now if this was Stars lets flip the Sunday Million for all I care (my best shot at winning anyway) but here it's different.

    Could you try a couple of new sunday tournaments that start earlier in the day?£33 BH at 1pm/£11 turbo BH 2pm/5r BH 4pm for example.

    When you created the new schedule there were some great tournaments that didnt work because there was too much going on at the same time.If there are specials threw out the day on sundays, it would work better, instead of packing them all into a 2-3 hour window in the evenings.

    Its not in the winning regs long term interests to flip in a normal MTT so as Ryan said I think it will be self policing. Its different with sats and now they are min 4 runners you wont get flips anyway.

    It's a shame that change had to be made - a classic case of poker players shooting themselves - or more correctly, everyone else - in the foot.

    Why would players flip for the value when its a rebuy doesnt make much sense when everyone can rebuy anyway? Dont see that happening at all.

    It's happened before in rebuy satellites, so I don't see it being such a big leap tbf.

    Which rebuy satelites mike? Where is the value in flipping in a rebuy satelite when people can rebuy when they lose the flip?
