    Hey guys,

    The Re-buy Open had a larger prizepool than the double chance last week....

    However, watch this space as the tournaments trialed last week as part of the Battle Of the Mains will be implemented into the schedule at some point in the near future. That includes the double chance!

    Thanks,

    Joe

    Taken from the battle of the mains blurb

    Sky Poker is offering not one but two Main Events every night this week, with the most popular returning to the schedule. Which Main Event will you choose to play in Battle of the Mains?

    Each night will feature two Main Events, both with the same buy-in and guaranteed prize pool. The Main Event which attracts the most entrants will then return the same night the following week, meaning you’ll have another chance to win in your favoured event.

    Why isn't the double chance on tonight?

    Really not happy about the double chance not being up tonight. I didn't play it last week but i saw it was the only MTT that beat the original main event so was looking forward to playing it tonight

    I don't critisize SP very often even though there may be decisions and promotions they make and do that I don't really like.  Its a business at the end of the day and business is business blah blah.  I also don't really like the rebuy or the double chance but do think that the rebuy offers the best chance of binking the ft jackpot as most people have been bored to sleep before it reaches the bubble let alone the ft.  However the argument to keep the rebuy is twisted and clearly against what the promotion advertised.  Whoever made the decision shd be shot imo.

    I agree mate (except the being shot bit lol).

    I will reserve judgement until Sky post a proper response but I think Sky must expect to at least hold their hands up and admit to going against what was advertised.  I don't expect an apology or even an explanation why I just want Sky to post a response accepting that what was advertised was not kept to the week after.  Otherwise, my confidence in Sky keeping to what they advertise in the future will be affected.

    Why is the rebuy open in the lobby again?  It should be the double chance!  Please honor the terms of the promotion sky otherwise how can we have faith that you will honor any future promotions?

    Morning guys.

    I really don't kknow what this is about, but I'll send the thread upstairs.

    If a misunderstanding, miscommunication or error has occurred, apologies.

    Upon the advice of Solly, a gun has been ordered.

    Hey guys,

    Sorry for an confusion about this promotion.

    I will hold my hands up and say it was a mis-communication at our end. Does that mean that Tikay has to shoot me? What if he misses?

    To resolve this issue, a Double Chance tournament (the rightful winner of Battle of the Mains) will run next Wednesday, with a boosted prizepool of £5,000 as opposed to £4,000.

    Hopefully the tournament can hit its guarantee and put up a good performance.

    As per the terms and conditions, this will be a one-off and the £4k Re-buy open will return the following week.

    For all those people that wanted to play a double chance tonight, we have added a £1,000 Guaranteed Double chance tournament at 8:45pm for £11.

    We have also amended the structure as per the feedback we got from the Double Chance tournament last week, whereby everybody gets a chance to re-buy once regardless of chipstack size, rather than only been able to re-buy at zero chips.

    Thanks a lot and hope this post means that I can live...

    Joe

    Would it be easier just to call it.......

    Double stack or chance depending on your preference which is defo not a rebuy and will only be around for this week as we move the goal posts back next week???

    EDIT - I am glad this double whatever is back and hope I can play it tonight.
