Do not fear, I am here.
In the game against Team Purple there were 285 runners of which 146 were Team Sky players, so that score was fairly even.....We only had about 4% more runners than our opponents.
The disturbing stat (for me) is the turnout. I am sure this occurs in the other teams too, but it looks like our 146 players last night came from 415 listed as "Team Sky Players". Do not even need the calculator to tell you that the turnout figure is less than 40%.
We all have commitments, (work/family/Jeremy Kyle/et cetera) but under 40% turnout is very low. FFS even general elections pull a higher turnout.
I think the problem is that many players just see it as a freeroll, and maybe feel a bit narked that only the final table win any cash. Personally I think the prize structure is great....after all it is TEAM poker and you get personal reward if you make it to the final table. It would be interesting to see what percentage of no-shows the other teams are having though...........
Sorry I saw your first post but couldnt bring myself to do all the stats work.
Also I had a feeling the news wouldn't be great.

I'm really sorry i havn't been able to play in this tournament on every occasion.
--- crap excuse alert----
Our office has just moved meaning i myself have also recently moved house and am still waiting on the internet to be fitted in my new flat. The lack of internet leaves it really hard for me to play in these evening and weekend games.
...crap but true.
I'll try and give the others a nudge so that you have a better turnout of Sky employees.
Thanks guys
My excuse isn't as rubbish as Rich's. I have a 5 month old daughter so when i get home on an evening it's the only time i get to spend with her...
I did participate in the first match, i was rubbish and came 100th, so you're not missing me in any way
Others should hang their head in shame....
Lee
do you not have internet in the office i think maybe, so work late play the game and get overtime.
to me a win win situation.
lol
hope the move goes well.
ps thanks rich i even had to edit your swear words.
unlike our tourny's
but if you get your daughter to help you whilst playing you might even make the top 30.
all the best and give her a cuddle from the team.
(we are not alone)
There was an administrative error which meant that Queenie appeared on both Orange and Yellow team when they were only supposed to appear on the Orange team. I can understand your annoyance and it is very unfortunate that it settled the game. However at this stage we can't replay the match and we can't reverse the result.
When the Sky Poker Premiership is settled and the top four teams are assigned to their freerolls, we may look at this issue again. If we think that the Yellows finishing position was hindered by this issue, we may bump up the value of their freeroll (should they finish in the top four).
Cheers
Jack
other teams are having problems tooooo, lol
I get mi dog HitPup to help me in TEAMRED, But didna realise how useless he was 'live', I took him to 'Poker in the park' at leicester square on tube lolol
We made final table in the 'Bodog open' only to realise, everytime we got a good hand, his tail started wagging, That 'fish' Neil Channing spotted it, and we got knocked out!!
Neil Said, I Was "The first poker player he'd seen play live with a Monkey & a Daschund"..............
.............I'm such a ground breaker LOLOL
she's in bed usually by 9.30 at the moment, the time of her last feed! That isn't the only time she sleeps!
Thanks Hitman & Silver8ack
yvw with regards to your family life.
but can you do me a favour and get as many of the SKY workers who are ment to be playing to read this post plz.
TEAM SKY - HANDICAPPED?
More seriously though, the Sky team do work incredibly hard and long hours with stuff that goes on behind the scenes so the occasional lapse when it comes to the 'relaxing' part is to be expected. Please do bear with them!
Thanks,
Dave
plz to not get me wrong i am very glad of these game's as they are free and sky do a great job of these events (most times) but with this event i think everybody feels that it has kinda floped.
but do not stop them as they will be missed and we can not get everything right all the time as poker show's us

I have no problem with the excuses and I can understand that working for sky shouldn't mean you have to work your social life around them too, and of course in Lee's case family must come first.
My problem was why the hell were you all entered into it in the first place unless you could give it 100%.
God bless you for all your work on our behalf.
WHEN CAN WE HAVE THE REGIONAL TEAM COMP.
TEAMS in place awaiting and you can even have your Team Sky team of ten. That will be easy points for the other teams.
gl all

Never fear team the cavalry are coming.
Apparently the New Poker League prize is entry into our team .
Yes if you win you become a member of Team Sky.
LOL
and I thought that would be a booby prize.
Of course they will come too late to save us!!!!!
and do not forget all everyone yes everyone who registers for and plays in this week's tourny will get entry into monday's £250 freeroll.
so come on team sky get in there and play your guts out for the team its worth it this week.
