New Freeroll Structure

edited July 2009 in Poker Chat
Hi Everyone.

This was posted by Sky Des last week but i have seen a few queries since and think it needs a new discussion to get the message across...

he freerolls are going to be shaken up a bit in light of the feedback received from our players. 

We are going to test the following for a number of weeks and reassess views again at that point.  There is a limited budget available for freerolls; and I don't think we can make everyone happy, but here is what we are proposing:-

Monday - 7pm - £100 freeroll - Poker Points required (50)
Tuesday - 7pm - £100 freeroll (50)
Wednesday - 7pm - £250 freeroll (100)
Thursday - 7pm - £100 freeroll (50)
Friday - 7pm - £500 freeroll (250)(replacing the exisitng Community freeroll system)
Saturday - 4pm - £100 freeroll (50)
Saturday - 7pm - £100 freeroll (50
Sunday - 7pm - £100 freeroll (50)
Sunday - 7pm - £100 freeroll (50)

hopefully this will be a good way to burn up some of those poker points you have knocking around.

Another quick note to make -  this new structure has replaced the old £20 freerolls you may have seen.

Thanks Guys,

Rich

    Hi Rich

    Looks much, much better than before

    Has any thought been given to limiting the payouts to, say, top 20 - so that the prizes are pounds not pence?

    1st 20%
    2nd 15%
    3rd 10%
    4th 8%
    5th 7%
    6th 6%
    7th 5.5%
    8th 5%
    9th 4.5%
    10th 4%
    11th-15th  2%
    16th-20th 1%

    Perfect Structure!!.. and as Rich said, there's only limited  money for these games, and i doubt you'd see many other sites being this generous

    Hey!

    Yes that's right apart from the private freerolls, the ones i have listed will be the only daily freerolls. it's important to note that this is a trail and may not stay forever, however we have taken the majority of feedback from the forums and come up with this new structure. i hope that helps!

    Thanks again

    Bit gutted to be honest, you will never please everybody.
    I miss the midnight freeroll as it's mainly the only one i can enter due to work and family commitments.
    It was always popular 400+ entrants for that time of night, missing it dearly!
