    On the Friday play starts at 6pm with late registration until 10.40pm - does that mean that if you won a package for the Friday you could actually get there later than 6pm and take your seat any time before late registration closes rather than you chips being whittled away in your absence from 6pm onwards?

    Hi again Pete.

    We are awaiting final clarification from the venue, but we think and hope your chips will NOT be in play prior to your arrival. We can't really see why they should be, but it's their Casino Licence and their call, so we need to await their confirmation first.

    Will let you know as soon as we hear.

    All of the £10.50 satelites have got no breaks in them. Can this be fixed please.

    What a fantastic event this sounds like. I really hope to book my place with a win in the Sunday freeroll. Here's hoping! I am sure I can do a shift swap at work should I make it and FWIW I love the fact it is deepstack. At least 500BB to start sounds deepstack to me as I have not played live so often!

    In other tournaments at this casino you can take your chips up until late reg ends. Its still upto casino and sky to decide.

    Players are allowed one re-entry  per flight, and can play both  flights. Players have the option to take their biggest stack through to Day 2.

    Tikay (or James) 

    Can you please clarify the above. I have now qualified twice for the day 1b. I have done this purely as it is a Multi entry/re-entry event, and unlike the 'package' winners, I have only won the seat value without any cash on top for expenses. 

    However, 3 people so far (Roughcell/Chickenisamelt & Boringjac55) have questioned this as it seems I am not allowed to play sats for expenses. I think this is totally different than playing sats for cash, but this is what they are all alluding too. 

    If it was just a one day FO, I would have just locked my seat up. 

    FTR, I will only be replying to Tikay or James on this subject, not the groupies ;)

    First up, I have absolutely no axe to grind with you Max, but surely if you read this back to yourself you must see how ridiculous it sounds.
    If these were sats for tournament entries (ie tickets) and could be used for multiple bullets then I could fully understand your stance, but they are not, you get the buy in paid into your account.

    If you were looking to pad out your bank roll to cover expenses this could be acheived in normal MTTs, cash, DYM or any other format, sticking true to your principals regarding sats for cash, as it stands you are contributing to the very thing you have complained about in the past.

    I have no issue with people playing as many sats as they wish as it improves the liquidity, and if they feel they have an edge in that format good luck to them, surely that is how we all choose which games to reg.

    Would you mind just clarifying, when you say you're not allowed to play these games are you suggesting that when you won the second seat you didn't get paid the buy-in? Or are we just taking about the ethical position?

    Am interested as I may decide to play more, although obviously won't bother if they're not paying out (but I'd happily swap for a day 1a entry too as long as that didn't preclude me from winning freeroll packages!).

    Thanks.

    Hiya Mike,

    I was awarded the seat value for the 2nd one. So, yes, it is allowed. Looking forward to seeing you and a few others there (the ones without keyboards, that is). Congrats on winning your (1st) seat mate.

    Cheers for confirming. See you there, and maybe in a few sats if I'm lucky ;)

    Sats for cash and sats for expenses is exactly the same thing.

    Interested to see how Maxally, with his very vocal history of being anti cash for sats and calling out players who do it, is gonna try and claim the moral highground on this one. The forum has always known him as a massive hypocrite but this is taking it up a level.

    I guess when you've been a very steep ski slope for 2 years, you need all the £££ you can get.

    Tikay do you know what the position is for players that win a seat but cannot for whatever reason take the seat. I understand it is not transferable so in that case will it be offered to the person who bubbled winning the seat or can you clarify that.

    I know for Vegas seats were not transferable but I believe someone did transfer their seat to someone else and it was not offered to the person who bubbled (as I was that person ;).

    You might clarify that if possible.

    thanks

    Hi Ger,

    Do you mean winning a seat via a Satellite, as opposed to a Package via a Promo?

    I will find out for you, but the obvious answer is if you can't attend, then best not to play the satellites.  That's not intended to be a flippant answer, incidentally. Am playing a tourney right now and on the iPad, so it's a bit awkward.

    I will clarify this by tomorrow, if Sam or James don't reply in the interim.

    Hope the family are well.

    I bubbled again so just wondering if someone (one of the 3 that won the seats in my silver promo freeroll) doesnt attend will i be offered or can they transfer it to who they like.
    Not sure if it was for a package or just a seat. Not complaining just wondering what the options are.

    thanks

    Hi Ger.

    If it was a Silver freeroll, then that is a PACKAGE not a seat.

    The package is not transferable.

    Good Morning,

    On the back of feedback on this thread we have worked with Manchester 235 and made some slight amendments to the start times of both the Day 1's.

    Day 1A will now commence at 4pm. Late reg will be open until 8.40 and the day will end at 1.50.
    Day 1B will now commence at 2pm. Late reg will be open until 6.40 and the day will end at 23.50.

    Day 2 remains unchanged.

    Players who qualify on Sky Poker will not have their stack entered until they arrive at the casino and register for the tournament. 

    Thank you for the feedback on the start times, we hope that this change suits more of our customers.

    The deafening silence from the hierarchy surrounding this post, probably confirms two things.
    Firstly that any criticism levelled at the powers that be for cherry picking the posts they respond to is justified again. Anything difficult is regularly ignored in the hope it will just go away, but this is rarely the case.
    Secondly, as there has not been a rapid denial of the accusation, it is probably true.
    If there has been a transfer of a Vegas package, does that now make them transferable? How could you refuse anyone else that wished to tranfer a package.
    What about the SPT, equally non transferrable according to the terms and conditions?
    What about anything non tranferrable in the future?
    On the Vegas front, if the packages were genuinely non transferrable, and one of the qualifiers couldnt make it, what would happen to their package? Could Sky just keep it, would another game be played for it, or would the bubble in their qualifying tournament be given it.
    If the answer is the bubble, then if one has been transferred,  has the bubble been done out of a package?
