No 2.20@2.20?
Has this been removed as part of the MTT revamp?
I'm all for change and introducing new tournaments but not at the expense of popular micro stakes games such as the 2.20 and 19.45 deepstacks. There is a loyal player base in both of these tournaments, I have noticed that the 19.45 has been replaced by a £5.50 deepstack, this is all well and good, but there are players out there who are regulars in this tournament and might not be able to afford to play a £5.50 buyin.
As for the 2.20 @ 2.20 (which has been removed with no replacement), I'll leave that to rainman to give his view, but I'm sure he will agree that its a bad move by Sky to remove it.
Micro stakes games are a vital part of any site in my opinion. Most new players to the site will start at these stakes, so to remove good bankroll builders such as these deepstacks doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

Hi Guys,
It has not been removed, no.
Sky_James wrote this elsewhere......
"I'm in the process of altering the schedule. All MTTs will have guarantees from now on. For all you deep stack enthusiasts there will be £100 gtd £2.20 games at 2.15pm 4.15pm, 7.15pm, 9.15pm and 11.15pm as well as the £500 gtd deepstack at 7.45pm for £5.50."
I can't comment as today, I genuinely have no idea, but it'll deffo be on at 14.15 tomorrow, & daily thereafter until further notice.
I am going to ask James if he could let me know of changed or rebranded MTT's in advance, then I'd make it known on the forum in advance. I'll get a bit of flak from the punters, of course, but nothing I can't handle. I'm deffo not critical of James in any way (unlike Sam, obv), but I do think, personally, that we should advise folks in advance. It just saves a lot of tears, tantrums & curly lips.
Anyway, let me have a natter with James & see what he says.
They are trying to bring some order & symmetry to the MTT Schedule in readiness for the new MTT schedule, & it makes perfect sense for all these deepstacks be at the same time after the hour. (In this case, 14.15, 16.15, 19.15, 21.15 & 23.15).
It'll be easier for everyone then.
It just takes a bit of getting used to, like Mum's new hairdo, or Granny's new teeth.
what were the chances of that?
