Like the idea of getting rid of those poker points Dave, guess the idea is a one off series for the long time regs who have been loyal to the site as a big tourney thank you.  LOVE THE IDEA , WHAT ABOUT IT SKY.

    I've had some time off, ...from Work & Poker!!!

    Walked HitPup Many times, ....sorted some Work, Home stuff, ....then came up with this idea!!!


    I've seen many Questions asked on This Forum, some the same just in different forms, stuff like......



    Who are best Players, MTT or Cash, High Stakes/Low Stakes??

    How can we measure Ability on a level playing field??

    Why do Sky not Have a MASSIVE tournament 1000/5000 runners+,  ever??

    How Can UKOPS further Develop as a MAJOR Poker Event on Poker Calendar for all levels??

    How Can Sky truly Pick a Team Sky Poker Player from ALL levels/Experience??

    WTF can I do with my Poker points????

    Could Sky put on series of tournies be arraned to challenge ALL levels, 1p/2p to 10K+ variables?

    How can you make SKY Freerolls not A WASTE OF TIME, ...& IMPROVE FIELDS??

    Is the Hitman truly bonkers???



    I Now present to you a solution to ALL THE ABOVE, 

    ....."NO WAY", I hear you say!!

    ............YES WAY!!!! say I!!!!!


    SO Next UKOPS FESTIVAL!!!! maybe Sky can consider ADDING these tournies & ideas!
    [* Denotes range ofPrize Money Sky decide, relevant to size of fields & value they feel this isachieving for UKOPS, Team Sky & Site as whole, with regard to publicity!]


    Day 1, UKOPS FREEROLL 100!!

    100poker points entry, £100-£1000* pool, Top 32 qualify for Freeroll Grand final
    [This could  be Sky's Biggest Tournie ever, of WSOP proportions]


    Day 2, UKOPS Freeroll 1000!!

    1000 poker points entry, £100-£1000* pool Top 16 qualify for Freeroll Grand final


    Day 3, UKOPS Freeroll 10,000!!
     
    10,000 poker points entry, £500-£2000* pool, top 8 qualify for Freeroll Grand final


    Day 4, UKOPS Freeroll 25,000!!

    25,000 poker points entry, £500 - £5000* pool, top 4 qualify for Freeroll Grand final



    In addition a league table is run on ALL four, 100pts for Tournie Winner, 1 point for 100TH, pro rata obviously!!

    Top 10, NOT already qualified,  qualify for Freeroll Grand Final!!!! Making 70 PLAYERS!!


    NOW....DAY 5 GRAND FREEROLL FINAL....70 players!!

    Play for whatever Money left we can squeeze from Sky on this amazing idea, £2000+ maybe!!

    BUT WINNER, [+another?],  GETS SPOT IN TEAM SKY POKER!!!!!!


    Obviously all numbers above could be doubled to make Grand final 140!!!!


    so..... is The Hitman bonkers?????

    gud idea hitman  but

     the 100 points free roll would get lots of runners as before in large feilds sky freezes up by the time you have too click the buttons you have missed that hand or it dont load up runs very slow   lots enter but dont turn up

    maybe break them up 300 runner

    How many players have 25000 points? I've played on here 2 1/2 years and can only afford the first 2.

    Will we be given a reasonable amount of time per decision? to negate the lag?

    A fortnight should just about do it.

    Hitman!

    Quality post! I have mentioned this to some of the other folks here and the only thing I would say is bear with us - there's a HECK of a lot going on here at the moment, what with Tournaments and Omaha needing some HTML5 love, so you will get a reply on this soon enough. Great to see the enthusiasm though! :)
