FAO the suits... Payout structure

edited July 2009 in Poker Chat
Hi all
 I have a request for a change in payout structures on sky...
 When we have 100 runners you are paying 20 players and i think it should be around 15. Reason being for instance if you play a £5.00 +50p (£5.50) buyin trny if you have 100 runners and finish 11th - 20th you only get paid £5, so you actually lose out. If you paid 15 or then that would be another £25 spread around. Not sure how much that would change the lower payouts, so may even need to be changed to 12.
 In another thread about the £20 deepstack you have been saying you dont payout more than 10% with 20 paid from 100 thats obviously 20% and thats where the problem is.
 Cheers
 Flash

    Let's take it one step at a time Flash.  This change would impact a large amount of players and we need to review the potential impact first.  We are reviewing our entire tournament strategy shortly and rest assured this will be on the list.

    hi every1, i know i`m a bit late with this 1 but have an idea for the freerolls!! there are currently 5 per day, all of which are £20 with 1 weekly of £250. there are also the league/invitational freerolls. perhaps the timing of them could be better, for example; 1 at 9am, 1 at 2pm, 1 at 6pm, 1 at 8pm and 1 at midnight. this would give a broader number of players a chance to play throughtout the day. also, what if the prize money was tailored to suit the time of the day and the number of players that would be playing, for example; 9am = £20, 2pm = £20, 6pm = £25, 8pm = £30 and midnight = £25. the current total of money paid for freerolls per week which require points buy-in is £950, if the above rates were applied then the total would be £840, which could then mean all those who finished in the money on those freerolls could be entered into a £100 or £150 freeroll on a wednesday at 7:30, with wednesdays 8pm freeroll being the start of a week and the wednesday 6pm freeroll being the end point for the week. since it is usually the same players who always enter, then this would keep the number of succesful candidates down for the big one. 1 other way of creating a big tournament to replace a £250 freeroll could be a 50p buy-in + 50 pokerpoints with the cash being the total prize money which could be split between the top quarter of players in your usual way of working this out.

    Hope to hear what you all think of this idea!! have a good 1        ECK77. ;-)
