    I take it you mean the eliminator where half field go through, with the eventual winner getting seat in Sundays Super roller, i guess giving you an answer on Monday wont be a good result then........

    I think maybe someone offical from sky should reply to this thread as telling your customers you will contact them after the Torny has been and gone shows a total lack of respect for your LOYAL customers.

    I was told over hour ago that someone in Priorty will come back as they are on lunch at 3.30pm??????????????????

    Hi guys,

    Apologies for this, we've had a few issues with this today.

    EVERYONE who played in the first two tournaments today have now been entered into the next one at 5pm tonight.

    Then, as advertised, half of that field will be in the final at 6pm which will pay out as usual.

    Really sorry about this guys, hopefully this will help you out.

    Cheers,
    Jordan

    Ty Jordan

    Can it please be brought up at your next meeting at sky dont tell your customers you will come back to them after the torny has run as you can understand it is very unproffessional and a way to gtn to get your customers upset!

    Also this no logic the 5pm is the same entry fee as level 1 so we now have to play leg 4 for what reason?

    There was no reason in this format to play leg 1 so any player that played earlier and qualified did it for no reason or advantage

    Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

    I've sorted the tournies in the best way possible so thought I would let everyone know.

    I think replying to the post is the best way to let everyone know.

    This was the best way to resolve it without people losing out on the £1.10 entry fee.

    Again, apologies for the inconvenience, it should all be in order going forward.

    I think he's saying stage 3 (for example) = £1

    stage 4 (for example) = £1

    So why would anyone bother playing stage 3. I paid no attention to the tournies so dunno if this is correct but I thin that's what he means.

    Jordan,

    Its very simple numerous of us contacted sky by phone and were told "you will be contacted on Monday with the answer to the problem" i.e. the first contact with sky is we tell you once its over .

    Yes you sorted this because I started a thread for being upset that someone will contact me on monday after the 30k has happened bit like a bookie saying I know there a problem with your bet we come back to you after the Grand National has run

    Good overlay then... right? :/

    I'm signed up to the 6pm one but it looks just like a standard £1 MTT with standard payout, so not sure why the 30k or the eliminator... but then I am a dumb@ss, so its probably just me...

    Prizepool was like £60. Ive busted. Dont care. 

    Epic fail at this sky. Wont be playing it again. 


    If i pay a quid and go through stage one, riding huge variance i dont expect Lambert180 can buy into the next stage for a quid. (no offence lambert) 


    Not only that but when im told something is a 30k prizepool, with 4 stages i expect it to be exactly that 4 stages then play for a 30k prizepool. Not 2 stages then a £40 prizepool. 


    Seriously!!!!

    Yeah no offence taken at all Donald. It was short lived anyway lol. Doubled to 2k with AA v 88, but then it was 50/100 so 3bet jammed K9s into AQs of the same suit, made my straight but we both made our flush, gg.

    Tbf though, there isn't that much variance in them, they did this yesterday, first one I got through by playing abuot 2 hands, second one I got through by playing 1 hand, 3rd one I wasn't available to play and finished like 2 off the seats without even being there lol. Just like the survivor, you can get through by barely playing a hand just cos so many don't understand satellites.

    Finished 5th in this, had to go through 2 rounds eliminating 50% of the field each time.  ended up playing for the cash which was £60 in the third round therefore playing for our original stake as there were 60 entered.

    Where did the players that were eliminated in the first two rounds money go? 

    Why set out rules which stated 4 rounds?

    Who decided to call it 30k?

    A very confused Torryboy.

    Hey everyone,

    There will be an exclusive £50 Freeroll at 8pm tonight, for everybody who was effected by this eliminator last week.

    The freeroll will be private, and only the names of players that attempted to play in this tournament (£30k Eliminator) will be allowed to enter.

    Thanks a lot and sorry for the inconvenience. Good luck at the tables.

    Joe
