Satellites - What Changes Would You Like To See?

edited August 2015 in Poker Chat
Hi everyone,

I am looking at our satellite structure for the daily main events and bigger promotions (Vegas, UKPC etc.) and would love to hear feedback from those of you who play tournaments regularly and the satellites that lead into them. If you have any comments around what works and what doesn't work then please make yourself heard. If you've got any new ideas then by all means, fire away!

My personal feeling is that the lobby can often look quite busy with too many of the same satellites taking place close to one another. I would like to streamline things and make it clearer to understand where each satellite leads as sometimes this can be a little confusing.

Cheers

Dan

    Defo looks busy with sats... too many by far! Looked to play a game yest teatime and it is like 75% sats if not more....

    Maybe just grouping them together in the sat area a good thing, not clogging the lobby with them :)

    realise a lot (me included may play them) yet, it was full...
    can things be switched in to groups... i.e you have the headers for FR's, Sats ect...

    having just the tourni's in the lobby may be more appealing for the folk that do not want to go via that route, and just play a game.

    Introduce sats for the Roller much earlier. Would like to see them running all week from the Monday.

    i dont think taking them all out of the lobby and into there own section would work to be honest, i think there are alot of players who just see them in the lobby and just join because its there.

    one thing sky should do is introduce SnG sats! maybe that way you could reduce the number of mtt sats in the lobby as alot of the people trying to sat would do it through the sit and goes instead?

    +1 SNG SATS.

    Asked before would appreciate some feedback on whether it is being considered.

    would be nice to have a cash out option, although im sure lots of people would disagree..

    I think 90% of the regular sats should be scrapped and replaced with one big sat for each event every evening, and sit n go sats should just run as and when for each days main event and 9 pm and 10 30 BH's

    would be great to see daily sats for the roller as its a boring tournament when 75% of the same players are playing it.

    These are all good comments so far, have heard mentions about SnG satellites before so that's top of the list to look at.

    Re: daily sats for the Roller, more than happy to try this starting tonight and we'll see what happens.

    The 10:30 BH should also have the £12 satellites which the 9pm BH has. Asked this before but got no response.

    Also a few more High Roller sats through the weeks would be nice. In general sats in the evening are the way to go imo.

    Agree with most of this. The 6pm sats used to get about 100 runners giving 20 ish seats which was great. 

    The current 1 in 5 style is real,y good tho imo

    SnG sats PLEASE!!! Should have an added benefit of bringing more SnG traffic. 

    Great shout Harry, Roller sats all week. 

    My suggestion, £2 Roller Sat each day. Couple easily generate two seats.

    Why do the low buy in sats have to be lotteries?
    All in sats and frenzies.
    Couldn't we just have £5/10 rebuys with a normalish kind of structure?

    Totally agree, cant they just be normal MTT's? Especially as they are running early. Thats why I think a £2 will geberate at least 2 seats and very, very affordable to micro stakes.

     i dont agree £5/10 sats are too much for micro stakes but agree smaller stake sats like the 1.60s with a 5 min blind are great throughout the week with semis and finals fri,sat,sun

    I meant the structure, as you can see I am advocating some £2 sats as well.

    Another thought, maybe get rid of the televised filter tab, i cant imagine that since the change in format to the Channel that alot of people are searching for games based on this, instead why not have a roller tab, that has the roller itself and the sats to it throught the week in there. i know theres already a satelitte section but that could still be kept for the satelittes to the main even and the bounty hunters for each day, the roller would just have its own specific ones

    THe main event on a Thursday used to have daily Satelites each night. This would give players who work more operturnity in sateliting into the main. also should incease numbers.

    I think you could do the same for the roller.

    Also +1 for SNG Satelites

    yours

    Sit and Go satellites to bigger BI events would be great. I'm sure if you had a seperate tab on the S&G section they wouldn't clog up the lobby.

    Will try to accommodate as best I can over the next few days and look at making some changes. Sorry that the Roller Frenzy didn't go down well, it was very much a last minute decision to try something new for you guys. Will take on board the request for some smaller stakes satellites with a decent structure and not a lottery punt etc.

    Why am I awake at 01:41. Zzz.

    how about instead of having satellites to a specific mtt,have satellites with winners recieving tokens(£11,£22,£33 etc.) which can be used at any time during the week or maybe month and i would stop allowing people get the cash equivalent by pre-registering and this way would help that.

    steps to bigger buy ins is the way forward for instance  £5,50 sng 6 players winner gets to stage 3 £20 buy in 2nd goes to stage 2 £10 buy in    stage 2 is £10 buy in 6 players winner goes to stage 5 £40 buy in 2nd gets to stage 3 £20 buy in do things like this for sats to the roller
