I did Register for a few of these last night, between 5pm & 11pm, but none of them actually started. There were never more than 2 players Registered, which was a bit of a shame, as everyone seemed to think they are a good idea, & Bernie responded. I'm not Online tonight, but I'll be back on Thursday & Friday, & will "sit in" again, hopefully we can get these started. We wanted the Tourney, we wanted the SNG Satellites, so it's up to us now, the players, to make it work. Posted by Tikay10
I agree Tikay. Sat there for ages with you waiting but no takers! Come on all, lets give them a try - u get ur money back if ur 2nd so only have 4 players to get past (although I couldnt manage it lol)

Well I'll rinse repeat on Thursday & Friday, & I'm sure we'll get them going eventually. I'm working Saturday, so that's a no-no, but I'm around all day Sunday, so if all else fails, we can try again then.
These things just need a bit of a jump-start to get going. Bit like me, first thing in the morning.
Great idea these and if my bankroll stretched to them I would defo give them a try .... However ... It just doesn't. even if I use my " it's entertainment " rules rather than strict brm ones. So for now I have to pass ... But once again Thanks to the suits for listening Posted by FBS
Then you are right to swerve them, until you've built your Bankroll up. For a £20 Satelite, ideally, a minimum £200 Bankroll is needed.
Best, for now, to play the £3 & £5 10 Seater Deepies. You get a lot of play in these (= a lot of learnng experience), they are good fun (as good as a "big" Tourney), & one Cash means you are up & running.
* DISCLAIMER * I was completely spaced out last night - ill and detached from reality LOL - but, I couldn't even find the SnG sats! (they're outside my BRM rules but that's not the point).
Again Ive sat for ages today with ctbn and tallboy yet no one else is trying. Come on guys - it's a chance to get a £100 seat for £22 and if you come 2nd, you get your money back!! We need to make these work!
Message to Sky Bernie - any chance of trying the £10 +£1 10 seater game with same result of winner getting entry to the tourney?

I dont think the BI is the problem...maybe there isn't that much interest from the more casual players of Sky and the only ones who will play this tournie are the cash and tournie regs.....
Phil, I'll Register for a couple of these a bit later, let's see if we can get one going. When the new PM Service starts next week, we'll be able to alert each other easier to these situations. Posted by Tikay10
Huh I may have missed this announcement! Is there any link to find out more about this? Sounds great!!!

PM is traditionally more like email between two members, rather than a live chat type thing. You send a message, they go into their PM inbox to read & reply etc.
