Can't wait for ths promotion! Although can't help feel it's only benefting players that win anyway. Just one quick qn... if you satellite into say the roller for £22 and then min-cash for £220, is your ROI going to be ~ 1000% or is it gong to be 200%?

    I also intitially thought that this would be a good promotion - one question though -

    Is it only your best 15 results that are considered or your total ROI?

    I believe it is ALL the SNG's you play in the given week.
     
    It says.....


    "....Each week Sky Poker will measure your level of skill based on the average ROI (Return On Investment) of 15 or more 6 Max Sit & Go’s....."

    "...The leaderboard will display the top 20 players who have played     at least 15 Sit and Go’s..."

    "....The leaderboard will first be updated when 10 players have played at least 15 Sit and Go’s and have a positive average ROI......"


    I believe 15 is simply the MINUMUM qualifying threshold, see

    ....."You need to play a minimum of 15 Sit and Go’s by 7th May in order to qualify....."

    Note that these are all WEEKLY totals, the whole thing starts again each week.

    Week 1 - 1st - 7th May (Televised Final 11th May)

    Week 2 - 8th - 14th May (Televised Final 18th May)

    Week 3 - 15th - 21st May (Televised Final 25th May)

    Week 4 - 22nd - 28th May (Televised Final 1st June)

    Ahh yes, my bad apologies, but the answer is the same.

    15 is the MINIMUM threshold, but it is ALL MTT's played.

    Left you a msg TK, but not sure it was on the right thread. Do you know when the "BEST OF THE BEST" leaderboard will be available? It says when atleast 10 players haave played 15 games with positive ROI's. I would have thought we'd be there now.

    Cheers Graham (StayOrGo)

    P.S. Great promotion by the way!

    Sorry TK, one more thing, as there is a bit of confusion between the SNG promotion and the MTT promotion. Can you confirm for sure that MTT ROI's don't affect the SNG ROI's and visa versa, if you are trying for both, I wouldn't want one to advesly affect the other. Also, I entered the code "BEST" for the MTT promo, is that code also good for the SNG promo.

    Sorry for the barrage of questions. Cheers Graham (StayOrGo)

    Hi Graham,

    No, I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that. I imagine it will be quite soon though.

    I also received your Message & "Friend Request", thanks, I presume your questions are answered now though, so I won't reply to that.      

    Good luck mate.

    Hi again Graham.
     
    I'm not aware of any confusion between the two. In one reply I mistakenly confused the two whilst answering a bunch of questions when these Promos were first announced, which I quickly withdrew & apologised for, but I'm not aware of any other confusion between the SNG one & the MTT one.
     
    The MTT ROI's & the SNG ROI's are completely & wholly UNCONNECTED, neither will affect the other. They are quite seperate.

    The Code for the MTT Promo is "BEST", as you correctly note.

    The code for the SNG Promotion is "CHALLENGE", so no, you cannot enter the same Code for both. If you want "in" both, you must enter BOTH codes.
     
    Hope that helps.

    Thanks TK, appreciate the clarification, I think it was probably just me that was confused! Doesn't take much to confuse me :=). 

    One last thing (honest). it says the SNG's must be 6 max, does this mean only 6 player SNG's or can you play say an 18 player SNG, containing 3 (6 max) tables?

    Cheers Graham

    Hi Graham,

    No, it is 6 player SNG's only, 18 player SNG's do NOT count.

    Good luck.

    Thanks

    Ha!

    Poker forums are supposed to have a goodly element of fun, and as far as I am concerned, the more the better. We really should not take ourselves, as poker players, too seriously, for 99% of us it's just a game.

    If it's like the points leaderboards then there's a cut-off (I think midnight) so if the ME last night finished at 00:01 then when they ran the report today it'll be as though that ME hasn't happened yet.
