Morning Guys.
I'll try & get some clarity on these numbers for you, please bear with me, I'll send a note up to the Office immediately, & I, or someone from the Office, will reply later this morning.
Can we all please accept that this Promo will pay out £50,000 in November, & not a penny less. There is zero benefit to Sky Poker in short changing anyone. £50,000 will be paid.
Kawaii did not "get points out of nowhere". His points were wrong, for reasons I don't need to bore you with, & he had been omitted. He contacted the Prio Service Team, they looked at it & sorted it, which meant his missing points then appeared yesterday. That's the best way to sort these problems, but if you prefer to use this Board, that's fine too.
Check back later this morning, & I hope to have an Update for you by then.
I absolutely agree the numbers & tables should be accurate, & I agree that has not always been the case. But I have always fronted up all questions quickly & honestly though & there was a hint in the thread that some jiggery-pokery was going off, which I thought a tad harsh.
For the most part though, these things have always settled down after the first week, & I don't recall of a single instance where a Sky Poker player has not received every penny of what they were due, so I felt I needed to make the point that everyone always has, & always will, get what they are entitled to.
As several have admitted, this is a really good value Promo, but I do agree that we all need to be able to trust the numbers implicitly. And that's where we will get, very quickly.
Incidentally, I believe that the real reason this has started a little erratically is the decision to Upgrade players to Prio based upon the new criteria. That was where so many of the issues arose.
Anyway, I sent a note up to the Office at around 6am this morning, & I'm sure they'll attend to it promptly.
Watch this space.
UPDATE
The Office have replied, & I'll try to answer each query separately.
As I indicated earlier, the points earned by Kawaii are correct, he had been wrongly omitted from the Promo originally, due to the new Entry Criteria for Prio, & once he was correctly reinstated, the points were backdated & added. That had the effect of "bumping" players down.
He should have been included, of course, apologies for that error, but his points are 100% correct.
You had 1,848 points, & were pipped into 10th by just 10 points by MRBLEWPIE.
Here are the points for that day;
24caliber - 4374
benc - 3,809
DAVEMCDAID - 3,490
PokerKing - 2,705
KingBowl - 2,664
jh16 - 2,322
Rektsai - 2,260
esswun - 2,269
MrBLEWPIE - 1,858
LB44 - 1,848
Other than the original omission of Kawaii, explained earlier, & the effect it had when he was reinstated, there have been no errors, glaring or otherwise, as far as Sky Poker can see.
"Great prio promo, Sky"? We agree on that.
"On yer bike".
Any other questions, please fire away. It's understood that players need to trust the numbers, & Sky Poker recognize that. Apart from the omission & then reinstatement of one player, all the points appear to be correct.
I'd just like to clarify, I wasn't suggesting sky were knowingly publishing incorrect tables or attempting some 'jiggery-pokery'!, but that small mistakes may have been made.
I noticed some the errors I have pointed out, before i read LB's post so then thought I should post in case some other errors were made.
No worries JH, & thanks bud.
"Mediating", indeed. I seem to spend a fair bit of time doing that.
Perhaps it was just Kawaii causing all the discrepancies in others' points tallies. To back up my other comment about other errors... Shazam and Shark went down and Launder disappeared from the table on the 8th, but I now see he entered into League 2 on the final day, and overall point drops were caused by the late runner!
Perhaps Sky could put a note by the published table if people get added mid way through to avoid people thinking they're getting short changed if their points go down and to avoid confusion!

Yes, it was largely due to the player who was originally omitted.
It's also true that some players have hopped from League to League, which sort of clouds the issue further.
I suspect/hope it is just because you are not earning sufficient points.
Anyway, bear with me please.
Apologies, I never noticed this Post until just now.
Truth is, it's not really possible or viable to make the playing field entirely level.
They do run MTT specific Promos from time to time (Double Points, Mission MTT), but the reality is MTT's are different & it's not really easy to make incentives work on MTT's, as they have very little effect - & clearly, if there is no benefit to The Business, then there are not going to be many Promos. People tend to play the same amount of MTT's come what may.
There are, of course, Prio Freerolls, & the MTT players ought to have an advantage in them, & stuff like UKOPS etc.
There are some guys who make Prio from MTT's though.
PS - well done on 5th place in last night's Sky High Roller.
The Office have confirmed that you ARE correctly Opted in.
You are not on the Leaderboard as you did not earn enough points - you were 18th in "Champion" yesterday, & they only show the Top 10.
Most of them appear to be in both L1 & L2 - I would assume this is a mistake.
I've sent a note up to the Office ask them to take a look.
Apologies.
Morning mondo, & others.
It seems there was a bit of FFS involved, but it has been corrected now.
Apologies for the temporary inconvenienceaments.
