Come on PURPS let's knock the Greens off "top spot" tomorrow.
Can sky players please amend town location to show which team they are in, could be great tactic in next game.
Gl all at the tables

At the end of the day the results, as shown, will work out which team did best overall in that game with people playing as they usually do.
Just our thoughts for now but happy to reconsider.
Thanks

Even though it's a freeroll, there's still money at play.
And, as we said, happy to reconsider based on people's views.
The general feeling at my table was that it was quite disappointing not knowing what team a player belonged to.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the feedback.
There are individual prizes up for grabs and people will mainly play for themselves. Currently only a small % of players are talking about it on the forums and the chat zone on the tables was as chatty as Marcel Marceau on a trappist monk retreat,
I don't think it is collusion in a team event if you "take one for the team". I can only think of a few marginal decisions where knowing team id's would make you play differently though. E.g if you are below average stack with 10 bigs better to go for a coin flip versus a team mate than a foe. If you are stacked up and BB is short on the bubble, don't put pressure on them if they are a team mate and give them a walk if you can.
Basically if you win chips off anyone (friend or foe) it is good for you and at worst has a neutral impact on the team.
If you donate chips to a friend it makes it a little more bearable and donating to a foe makes you feel worse but your chipstack and your individual tournament life are the same either way.
For me there are few possible downsides and many upsides especially regarding banter and generating interest in the event as a "team event" as opposed to just a FreeRoll.
we knew exactly who was on who's team. you DID NOT knock out your own team mates. however, one of the big problems of this format was that sometimes we would have a table of 6 soley of one team only. so everyone just kept folding until the tables got moved around.
only when 1 entire team was knocked out would it then be ok to knock out one of your own team mates.
Name one team/sport competition where
1. you dont know who your teamates are
2. You get rewarded for beating them.
Suggest sky go one way or the other
1. dont have team comps where you dont know your team and cant play as a team
or
2 6 teams right so six seater tables with one person from each team on the table. winner goers through to another mixed table etc etc .
Can see option 2 could be very difficult for SKY so suggest 1. let us know our teams and tell the people who dont like Team play to go and play their normal games which they would do if this promotion wasnt on.
TEAM comps deserve TEAM players
It added to the sense of team and didn't detract from the competition.
In fact I thought it added to it
