Double Your Money League Points Changed!
Hi everyone,
After numerous calls regarding the league points structure on Double Your Money tournaments, we have now made changes to benefit you!
As of today, we now offer league points to the TOP 3 players as opposed to the top 2 as it previously stood. So, finishing 3rd in a DYM of less than £1.10 can still earn you 3 league points! There is plenty to play for!!
The table below shows the old structure compared to the NEW structure in the right-hand column:
Hope that makes sense to you all and will give you the incentive to play more DYM tournaments on Sky Poker and earn more points!
Enjoy!

| Less than £1.10 | 1st 4 points - 2nd 3 points | 1st, 2nd & 3rd = 3 points each |
| Between £1.10 - £5.50 | 1st 8 points - 2nd 6 points | 1st, 2nd & 3rd = 7 points each |
| Greater than £5.50 | 1st 12 points - 2nd 9 points | 1st, 2nd & 3rd = 10 points each |
Enjoy!

Just wondering if there are any plans to end the DYM game automatically after three people have cashed? This has also been raised many times before.
Ending the game at this point would be great for people that multi table the games, and on many other sites, the game ends at this point. Also gives people more time to set up other games so will benefit Sky too.
Cheers
P.S ending satelite mtts when all seats are won is also another good change that could be brought in imo.
When Greg's suggestion is implemented too the DYM tables will be set up perfectly.
I'd just like to say that I think that it is a shame; not least because people have campaigned for it when it is of no benefit to them and a loss to others.
People who want to leave the table can close it down (or minimise it if becomes active again) - they are under no obligation to play on. This is a VERY minor inconvenience.
I played a micro-stakes PLO DYM game this morning with two people who were clearly fairly new to the game. After three fairly early casualties, they wanted to play on "properly". They had paid their money and were entitled to a game in my opinion.
Closing the tables after three people are out deprives those people of this opportunity.
A few months ago I felt my HU game wasn't up to sctratch when I made it to MTT final tables, so I took the time to play a couple of hundred matches on HU SnG tables spread over a few weeks. My HU game definitely improved. The last place I would have chosen to practise would be in DYMs.
The game is what you make of it.
Not everyone needs money at stake to play poker to the best of their ability.
I have recently been playing quite a few DYMs. I consider my HU game to be adequate and am happy to play a DYM game to its conclusion if that is what my opponent wants.
Anyway, I'm feeling bad about hijacking this thread now.
I disagree if so, because i may wish to multi table dyms from time to time, as i have done previously, and it is a great benefit. I have lost money before by missing a shove spot on the bubble because i am too busy trying to finish a game that should have ended already.
I accept your point about fun beginner games and i agree that this is important, but a dym for money is not the best medium for this imo. (perhaps keep it at the micro limits like £1 or less) but for the higher limits, i think the object of the game is to double your money... not to mess about... jmo
Once you have cashed, ignore that game. I struggle to see why that is so difficult.
Ok, lets compromise, ill have a button to press please that says end game, then my chips can be shared amongst the other two if they wish to continue.
Anyway i think we have exhausted this now on this thread. We discussed this at length previously HERE
Oh and 75% agreed with me on the thread mentioned above.
If every body got the same points , there would be no need to play on.
All other sites usually end the game when youu are in the money.
They do this for stellites as well in mtts.
I WISH.
I also would be happy if the game ended automatically when there is only three players left.
You complain that you can't make 500 poker points for the bonus but how much time have you wasted playing out dym's that you have already cashed in.
If you are playing purely for fun, why are you bothered about the bonus?
So for a 50p + 10p DYM you get 1 poker point, for a £1.00 + 15p DYM 2 poker points, for a £5.00 + 50p DYM 5 poker points, etc.
League points on the other hand are awarded according to results to determine your postion in the Poker League. In theory the players with the best results in each category will be at the top of the league (this is why it has always been contoversial that League Points are awarded for Russian Roulette). League Points used to be a way to earn a cash prize for a top ten finish in the monthly league, or to get a shot at cash prizes in the League Stars freeroll. These days though all the cash prizes have all gone, the league will now be used to determine who gets the chance to join Team Sky Poker. The League Stars freeroll still exists, but it has become a satellite for the monthly £8K deepstack.
I have forwarded a copy of this thread onto the Sky Team for their attention.

As you can appreciate, we cannot facilitate every request that is made on the poker forum, that way every player would have their own individual table!
What we do say is that we will look at as many comments as possible and raise them. This doesn't mean that the Poker Forum is how we base all our decisions. We obviously look at game play in all tournaments and what is popular with our customers etc.
We do say, however, that if you have a suggestion or comment to make, feel free to post it on here and we will look into it for you and post as many responses as possible.
I appreciate you want DYMs to continue until the end, which is why we do not close the tournament once we reach the final 3. It is not something we are looking to do right now, however, we will continue to monitor the tournaments and make regular decisions and adjust accordingly.
Hope that helps clarify things a little more.
Thanks,
Jordan
