Invitational event?
Hi guys,
Quick idea i had just sitting out chilling watching a film. Now this is an idea that may seem a little contraversial, although i think it would also work.
I know this would be similar in a sence to the league stars freeroll, but i would like to request an invitational event for say a 3000 strong MTT, top 100 MTT players, top 1000 cash and top 1000 STT players. This could be worked on by say hands played to won ratio/tournaments player to won/STT played to won or cashed in terms of DYM's.
I think it would provide an interesting challenge for different players, bringing so many different styles together.
Another way this could even be done is 3 seperate 1000 seater tournaments, instead of a prize top 100 of each qualify for a 300 multi style tournament, like a satellite.
What you think folkes.

Everyone on sky then?
You really are having a sleepless night (though I know from being on your table that it has been profitable!!)
I'm all for it. I'm all for anythingthat can create larger fields for tournaments. I'm a newbie here and just a bit disappointed with the low number of entries. It seems that no-one enters anything that hasn't got a large guarantee. That's a shame.
If you want a big tournament to aim at better players, then I think the best cash statistic is the number of blinds won per hundred hands. However, I would rather encourage a tournament that attracts everyone. So far this month over 21000 people have played on this site so 3000 should not be beyond hope.
If Sky wants to do this I suggest that the prize should grow with the entries
e.g. A 100 Sky Points buy-in and a prize pool of £1 per entrant.
That would mean Sky are redeeming points at 1p which should be attractive to their business model and as the prize grows for a "freeroll" the number of entries should snowball.
Long live insomnia ;-)
Like your input here, certainly would see the benifit model here, as you said 1p for each point, 100 points entry = £1. This works well with their "rake back" scheme of 500 = £5. Which means you'd expect it to fit their business model.
Oh and welcome to the forums mate.
