    We never thought we'd say that! ;)

    Anyway, inspired by the thread Dave put up and for a bit of fun, we're running an SPT Newcastle Freeroll which is a points satellite. It's 5,000 points to enter, winner gets an SPT seat (you will be put in manually later)

    If you are already in the SPT Newcastle, there is no point in entering as there is no cash equivalent and it's not transferable.

    There's also some all-in satellites into this, 1 in 10 @ 500 points.

    We don't know how many runners it will get but it's there if you want to play it. If not many people enter, the better your chances!

    We'll learn from doing this so look out for other similar events in the future.

    Enjoy and good luck!

    Thanks

    Wish paying 5000 poker points for the chance to win a £110 SPT seat was good value for money but it isnt. Its nothing short of daylight robbery, because Sky can charge what they like for these satelites as there is nothing else for players to spend their points on.

    May of been slightly better if it was 5000 points to buy in, 1 in x amount of people get a seat. Not 5000 points in and only one seat. What happens if 100 people buy in. You are giving a £110 seat a value of 500,000 points. Incredible really.

    Sorry you think that, you dont have to play it if you dont want to but some will. If a small number play because people agree with you, then it's better value for those that do play.

    Also, don't forget, you still get paid Sky Poker rewards for how much you have earned in the month so it will not be affected if you play this.

    Thanks

    18 players in the first all-in sat. 1 in 10 it says win a seat.

    Surely 2nd place should've got 4000 points?? They got nothing...

    That's not possible to sort for this test but we'd look at in future.

    Don't forget these calculations are affected by the number of runners.

    We'll obviously review this after the event to look at the value for future events.

    Again, it's entirely people's own choice.

    Poker points.

    It has no effect on your Sky Poke Rewards payment (formely called C4P)

    Sigh......how can it be daylight robbery for sky to give £110 away for x amount of poker points when they have practically no use anywhere else?....

    P.s. I'm in!

    Great idea - I hope Sky do other things in the future for a chance to use a large amount of points up in one go. For most people they're just sitting in accounts doing nothing and waiting for this kind of Freeroll.

    I agree totally with DOHHHHHH here, great idea but even if you have 5,000+ points, why risk them on a seat worth £110. 

    Sky need to do i monthly 5,000 point freeroll where prizes are worth something more then on offer here.

    1st - 5th  primo seat.
    6th - 10th  12k sky sports b/h seats
    11th - 20th  £11 main tickets (so can choose which night to play on a night that suits)
    21st - 30th   £5.50 Mini Seats tickets (again tickets, so you can choose a night that suits you)

    total prizes = £605   for 5,000 points seems fair, as at moment can play with the same 5,000 points.
    2k b/h seat   50pts  1st - 10th seat worth £11  =  £110 so 100 of these can be played at total prizepoll of £1100

    This spt freeroll will appeal for some, and others on here with 5,000+ points do not want to play for little mtt's.
    So please SKY bring this to the table once a month. It might bring in more players as you need rake to earn POINTS so all in all this will work.

    Points and prizes can be altered, but using my example as a guideline.

    Gl all at the tables.
