Comments
The Guarantee on the Sky High Roller has increased to £10,000 as & from next Tuesday, 27th September.
Note that the T & C's state that Sky Poker may vary this Guarantee as & when appropriate.
There will be no more £5.75 Bounty Hunters.....
....because they will all become £5.50 Bounty Hunters.
They are currently still being shown as £5.75, but this will change between now & 1st October.
There are so many changes, they are being done day by day, rather than overnight in "one go".
All games with "Speed" in the title will change to "Turbo", for the sake of tidiness & consistency.
Again, this will happen between now & October 1st.
RIP the 5.05 Bounty Hunter.
It has been replaced by the £5.50, "5 at 5" BH which is at.......5pm
Can't find your normal MTT?
UNTICK the "Regular" Tab & then you will see ALL MTT's.
The Lobby is changing, too. This can't be done in one go, it will happen piece by piece, in the next week or so.
Amongst other things, the "Regular" Tab will disappear completely. In it's place will be a Tab which just shows the 8 or 10 biggest MTT's each day.
It's a sort of halfway house at the moment, so for now, the best thing to do is untick "REGULAR" (by clicking "ALL") , & then you'll see all your usual MTT's.
A good example of this was that last night several players could not find their PLO8 MTT's, & we had a bit of a palaver sorting them out.
To see the difference it makes, try going to....
Tournaments > Omaha Hi Lo.
If you gave "REGULAR" ticked, it just shows TWO MTT's.
Click "ALL" instead, & you'll see FIVE MTT's.
All this is just temporary, whilst they move from old one to the new layout. It'll all be in place by October 1st.
Probably.
Sky High Roller Satellite changes
Not much changed except.....
The £44 Semi Final now Guarantees 5 seats, not 4 as previously.
The Satellites on Saturday & Sunday have been dropped, & will now all be on Mondays & Tuesdays.
Plus, of course, the Guarantee has been upped to £10,000.
You can view all this on the Sky High Roller Promo Page, HERE
Quite a few changes to BH's, a few more are listed below......
The following £22 BH's will run daily, 7 days per week, some of these were previously weekends only, or intermittent
Noon, £400 G'tee, £22 entry (£500 at weekends)
1500, £500 G'tee, £22 entry
1800, £500 G'tee, £22 entry
2200, £1,500 G'Tee, £22 entry
The 2200 one replaces the one previously at 22.15.
At 22.15, there will be a £5.50 TURBO BH with a £750 Guarantee.
More Bounty Hunter changes......
The existing £5.75 Speed Bounty Hunters will disappear.
Instead, you'll see £5.50 TURBO Bounty Hunters.
These are scheduled as follows;
£100 Guaranteed at 0130, 0230, 0300, 0800, & 0900
£200 Guaranteed at 1100 & 1345

There is now a.....
£750 Guaranteed Turbo Bounty Hunter at 22.15.
In Memoriam
It was announced today that the 18.15 £100 Speed MTT passed away peacefully in it's sleep. We can but hope it died speedily, after living life in the fast lane.
RIP 18.15 £100 Speed.
The Super Roller Freeroll, which runs nightly at 7pm, has changed as and from tomorrow, Tuesday 27th September.
It will start 30 minutes earlier, (1830, or 6.30pm) & have an amended title - the Sunday Major Freeroll.
Effective tomorrow (Tuesday 27th September);
All the £5.75 (£5 + £0.75) Bounty Hunters will become £5.50 (£5 +£0.50) Bounty Hunters.
The Bounty Hunters at 18.20 & 18.45 have both been removed from the schedule, to be replaced by one at 18.30.

It will be replaced by.....
A £2.20 Bounty Hunter, £500 Guaranteed, at 20.00.

PLO MTT's
An assortment of daily PLO MTT's will run, mainly £2.20 with a £20 Guarantee
There is a daily PLO MTT Freeroll @ 1730
There is a £100 Guaranteed £5.50 PLO MTT @ 19.45.
Various
An assortment of Timed Tournaments will be scheduled.
Where reasonable & practical, Late Reg will be included &/or extended.
All being well, the entire new schedule will be in place by this Saturday.
2 MTT's that are being retired.....
£300 Megastack (Deepstack) @ 8.30pm. This repeatedly missed it's Guarantee, and there remain plenty of other Deepies.
£1,000 Bounty Hunter @ 8.30pm. Plenty of other BH's, & considering this had a prime slot, it did not do very well.
Everything should be in place to get the new schedule launched with the Midnight Express tonight. I suspect this one will start at Midnight.
Some further changes to the MTT Schedule follow.
Keep an eye on these MTT Changes Thread, as the new Schedule will be fettled frequently until it settles down.
Additional £3.30 Turbo Bounty Hunter at 11pm nightly.
This replaces the 11pm Hyper Turbo which passed away peacefully in it's sleep.
MIDNIGHT EXPRESS
This has been changed to a £22 Bounty Hunter.
Reduced Guarantees
GOLD RUSH (nightly Turbo @ 20.45) - Guarantee reduced from £2,000 to £1,500
RELOAD (nightly Rebuy @ 21.30) - Guarantee reduced from £2,000 to £1,500.
These were not making anywhere near Guarantee.
£8,000 Guaranteed Super Rebuy (Sunday)
The Guarantee on this is under threat, as it performed very badly indeed on Sunday. It will be reviewed again after this Sunday.
Payout Structures
Just want to conform the position on these now.
With the exceptions of.....
1) Bounty Hunters
2) The £220 Sky High Roller
ALL Sky Poker MTT's now pay 15% of the field.
