Top Totty
Following a suggestion by Dud_Butini and some follow-up by Tikay, I'm pleased to announce that there will be a league to reward regular players in the ToT (Take-On-Tikay) tournaments.
There will be four leagues running for four weeks during the month of July. The leagues will start on Monday 5th July and end on Friday 30th July.
The leagues will be for each of the separate level ToT events:
Monday ToT £2.20
Tuesday ToT £11
Wednesday ToT £5.50
Friday ToT Rebuy £5.50
League points will be awarded on the basis of finishing position and you must enter at least three of the events for your league within the four week period to qualify. The average of your best three results during the league "season" will determine your league position.
For example, if you finish, 1st, 9th and 11th and 50th in the Monday ToT, you will have a league score of 7 after discarding your worst performance of 50th. This is (1 + 9 + 11) / 3.
You are free to enter as many of the leagues as you like.
There will be a prize for the top place finisher in each league. However, I imagine that the kudos for finishing high up in the league in what many people believe to be the best structured tournaments on Sky Poker will far exceed the prize. Just imagine being able to boast that you finished above Tikay in the league when he designed the format!
There is no need to register for the league; you will be automatically included if you enter three or more of the tournaments in any league.

i am new to the "community" side of the site and I am trying to get up to speed.
all looks good fun though
Edit: Maxally beat me to it - and was rather more succinct!
Hopefully, you might get some sensible answers. ;-)))
I described this as Sky's best franchise and I seriously think it will grow and grow in stature.
Obviously there's better prize money on offer elsewhere but as far as structure goes this is IT.
I'm definitely aiming to play all £2.20 games and hope to stoke up the BR to allow me in the £5.50 division as well.
As a warm up I should have made enough profit on the tables (here and elsewhere) to enter the last of the pre-season £5.50 games tonight.
---------------------
Maybe Sky could run to a Champions League Event after the end of July's games ......
EG - The four Champions of the divisions and the top two runners up (in terms of points) to face off in a special 6 seater Event.
Obviously if one of the six sees a duplication in the ranks then the third best runner up would qualify.
Hi Guys,
Firstly, many thanks to MereNovice for running this - much appreciated.
As many of you know, today is a bit hassly for me, as I'm doing Pre-Records in the Studio all aftrernoon, playing three Tourneys tioght, & dash off to Vegas tomorrow morning, (yup, toasty life, me), but.....
Once I've sorted my frazzled head out, & calmed down a bit, I'll arrange for some prizes for these Leagues.
Thaqnk you again, to Mere, & all who enter.
I have a hunch this could be BIG. We get a lot of entries to the various TOT-ty's, nearly 200 for the £2.20, & close to 100 for both the £5.50, & £11, so this could be special.
Nice 1 mere great idea i'm in for the £2-20 league
this will be some work Mere, if you would like some assistance in updating spreadsheets etc, please PM me, id be happy to help
Hoggers
And well done you for doing this, another example of sky poker having an awesome community!!
brill idea mere, thanks!
ps. anyone know who will be 'IT' if Tikay can't make it into his tournies? if LML is 'IT' then the tournie could really be a 'totty'.
As a result, the Monday night league will now be called the "Top Totty Konnie Huq £2.20 Freezeout League".
I'm sure that you'll all be as thrilled as I am by this.
More news to follow.
The Tuesday night league will be called the "Top Totty Catherine Deneuve £11 Freezeout League".
I can neither confirm or deny whether the first lady of French cinema will be participating in any of this month's tournaments.
If I can help in any way as well, please PM me
Thanks for the offer of help and thanks to all the others who also volunteered. I'll be sure to call on you if needed.
Good idea on Liz Hurley but I've already got this month's "sponsors" sorted. I hope that you won't be too disappointed. ;-)
If the leagues are successful and we re-run them in August I shall definitely be in contact with Ms. Hurley to see if she can fit us into her busy schedule.
The Wednesday league will be know as the "Top Totty Kelly Rowland £5.50 Freezeout League".
News of sponsorship of the Friday league will be announced exclusively on this thread. Do not believe anything that you read elsewhere.
The Friday league will be know as the "Top Totty Anna Kournikova £5.50 Rebuy League".
That completes the line-up for July.
Remember that the leagues start next Monday and run until Friday July 30th.
Enjoy.
